hopefully bugs worked out includes getting wi-fi. I really like Verizon as well, I just don't know if the blackberry can compete with the iphone. I mean I can sync it with my mac with mobileme. Has my itunes account and appears to be more user friendly. I guess we will see. 2nd generation is always better though.

Yes but it is a bit slower. I was up in a semi-remote area this weekend and was down to 1 or 2 bars at best... their coverage map shows it covering that area, but my signal was weak at best... I still managed to get internet and was checking the weather for the drive back down the mountains. It was nice to check it, but it was a bit slower.

True, but I bet the iphone is a touch faster as far as menu selection and things like that. My Storm has a slight delay every now and then and it seems to be a bit sluggish. I am sure future patches should fix it or at least help a bit.


As for speed on the internet both phones should be the same. But the edge might go to the storm since the iphone has to deal with ATT being a bad carrier...

And how did the iPhone do on that area?

I like my iPhone...it just works so great with my mac! and I love my mac!
That's why I went to the iPhone...I will say that the reception was better with VZW than ATT but I can take the trade off for the UI and how seamlessly it works with my mac

I didn't say I had NO reception...just that VZW had better reception. I haven't dropped a call yet and Katie never drops calls :fu
