I have tendonitis in my right thumb caused mostly by my blackberry curve. I need a phone that I can use my index fingers to type instead of my thumbs. Which is better – Storm or iPhone? I have been waiting to upgrade because AT&T is about to install a new tower in my neighborhood, which would mean I could get an iPhone, but maybe I can stay with Verizon and get a Storm?

Have played with 3 iPhones and fell in love, decided I just HAD to have one. A salesman at Car Toys told me about the dropped calls with AT&T today. Then I read both this post and tnkgrl’s. Am also told that Blackberry is coming out with a new phone in Oct. that is the biggest upgrade to date and well worth waiting for. Also I’m told that I will be eligible for an early upgrade next month. Any advice between now and then would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pat mcginnisp1@comcast.net

I do miss the wifi on my storm but being able to send pics to others with out sending emails. The buttons are a big thing to navigate around. I find it hard on the iphone to just back up and not hit that button and go all the way back to the home screen.

I have been very happy with the STORM but there was period of adjustment.

My main complaint is my typing speed with the touch keyboards. I had a Curve and sending a large number of emails and text messages was effortless. Five weeks later with the STORM, still not effortless. I tend to be a bit impatient and I definitely have to go a little slower.

Pros are reception (Verizon network), data speed and VZ Navigator capability. I am pleased with the video and music quality and the 8GB external storage that comes with it makes file transfers easy. Overall with the new software, this is hands down a great device.

Also look into Blackberry Media Sync to play your iTunes on your Blackberry.

I actually think it is a good thing – at least they seem to be constantly trying to improve instead of keeping folks in the dark for months on end.

I have been waffling between getting the Storm again, talking myself into an iPhone even though I know the network is not up to snuff or waiting on the Pre or Touch Pro 2 on my current carrier Sprint. The Storm is looking better all the time.

BTW JK, can you comment on call quality a little – specifically, I returned mine because I sounded “muffled” on the other end and the ear piece was bad – sounded like it was blown, not clear at all. Others have had this problem and I was hoping that it would get worked out in future hardware builds. How does your sound on both ends?

Second I wish I had them because i have a palm centro and it is not quite the power that I would like. Third, Do not go to my website as it is not very good and not finished

You guys (Kevin and James) should do an article explaining what you guys do everyday. How do you work? I love this Site.

This was enabled by the RIM beta OS I have installed.

Could you please post the link where this RIM beta OS for the QWERTY keyboard? Thanks.
