My wife's employer outfitted their business with MAC, including iPhones for all managers. I've handled the iPhone extensively and the ONLY reason I didn't get one is that AT&T service in my region is not so good.
I am thrilled with Verizon and currently have owned a Storm for approximately 2 weeks. The Storm is slower to respond than other Blackberry units. Additionally, scrolling and expanding internet pages is a royal pain. The camera application is awkward, slow and simply not worthy of use.
I do like the basic touch screen functions and the tactile response. The keyboard rotation to full Qwerty is nice but slow to react.
Having owned other Blackberry models, I will definitely discourage others from getting the Storm until Blackberry fixes the manny glitches and tweaks the operation up to an acceptable speed. This Storm absolutely cannot compete with its predecessors with regard to speed and use on the fly. I will be going back to my Curve until the bugs and screen glitches are fixed.
To call the Storm an "iPhone killer" is simply a laughable notion. Operationally, the iPhone runs circles around the Storm.
Blackberry evidently rushed this release for Christmas and I urge Blackberry fans to hang on for a little while while Blackberry remedies the many operational flaws in this phone. If they do, this phone will be a functional ALTERNATIVE to the iPhone, but definitely NOT a killer.
