I am in the market for a new phone and its been 3 years since I had a new phone so I'm looking for the top phone with tons of perks. My top 2 choices are att's iPhone and Verizon's Blackberry Storm. I was hoping I can get some input what what you think about your iphone/storm. I appreciate all the help, thanks Joe
 
I don't have either, but the iPhone is pretty awesome. If you plan on using it for the internet, 3G network is really fasted in comparison to other providers, and has great coverage.

First of all, I REALLY dislike apple, they have yet to come out with a cost efficient product, well, except for the iPhone. Its like an 8GB ipod + phone + gps + mobile internet + anything else you want.

Most of my co-workers have iphones, and i initially was very hesitant, but after playing around with a few, I actually really like them. They are also only $200.. my crappy phones replacement is $150 and it is nothing near an iphone.

If I was going to get a new phone, it would be an iphone for sure..

I can't say much about other smart phones, a coworker of mine upgraded to an iphone from a blackberry and is very happy. (It was not a storm)
 
Here is Gizmodo's review of the storm-

I had the original iPhone and I currently have the 3g iPhone. I love the iPhone, it is hands down the best phone ive ever used. There is no mms or copy & paste though which is a big deal for some, I have no idea if they will ever add those features but I can personally live without them. Where I live there is very good 3g coverage and it is extremely fast. I will say though that I used to have Verizon and they are the best as far as signal goes (at least here in Vegas.)

Before I had my iphone I had a blackberry curve and before that a blackberry pearl. Personally I would never use a blackberry again, I had nothing but problems. My blackberry's constantly froze or would get very slow/laggy after continuous use, the only solution was to take the battery out for a few seconds then pop it back in.
 
iphone rules! If you have a MAC and a mobile me account, its even better!!!

I even let it cut into my fishy fund..lol

can iphone do MMS? nope... FAIL...

Lol. Yeah but look at everything it CAN do. I've never really used MMS on any phone so that makes no difference for me.

When I had a blackberry it could do MMS but it never worked the few times that someone sent me an MMS, it would just show a blank white screen if I remember correctly.

No, but you can just receive the pictures via your email account right on the phone. I have no complaints about the iphone. The 3G is also very fast. I've had speeds over 1 meg on my phone.

I don't think you can go wrong with either of these two phones. I personally would go with the iphone.
