    What do you all think about it?

    High expectations but I don't think it can dethrone the iPhone.

    ^their excuse is cuz since the Storm will run on both their envo system and edge, there wont' be a need... i agree to an extent that'll work out, but just sometimes, like when i'm working in the basement levels on campus, i don't get reception down there, but i do get wifi... so meh =/

    Got the Storm from Vodafone UK. The menu is bit slow in campare to the iphone. No WiFi is is not such a problem for me because I got a very good GPRS/3G coverage. The only negative thing is the battery life. With 3G turned on, the battery will last like less than half day (if u actually use the phone).

    I used it for about 3 hours today. I wasn't blown away. It is trying too hard to get to a market that wasn't associated with RIM.

    What defines a BlackBerry is the QWERTY keypad. Now that they've lost that, it's just another phone with a BlackBerry OS.

    thumbs down for me. iPhone is overhyped. The Storm is pretending to be something it wasn't meant to be.
     
  13. im also not a fan of touch screen keyboard.... i like an actual button....

    If you have trouble typing on the touch-screen you get used to it pretty fast.
