iPhone just seems so much nicer but AT&T is my cell company for my business cell phone and they are inferior next to Verizon for service/reception.

No WiFi on the Storm.
No text message with photo on the iPhone but with my MacBook, it only makes sense to get the iPhone.
No speaker on the iPhone but one on the Storm.
For iTunes, the iPhone is better.
For iPhoto, the iPhone also takes the prize.
For gadgets, I think the iPhone is also the winner.
Just sucks that one is stuck with AT&T and the major price difference that can be enough for a nice box of Cuban Churchills.

Get the Storm and a box of Cuban Churchills Im leaning towards the iPhone but rather not switch to ATT

Wifi really isn't that big of deal for me

I would get the storm as well... Using it for your mp3 player is easy... when you open the blackberry updates you see a section to sync your BB with itunes and then magically all your music appears on your BB... I just added all my music to the BB and will probably sell my ipod soon as it has become obsolete...

Which phone is faster, Storm or new I-Phone?

on the 3G network both are the same, on wifi is where the iPhone wins, I don't have access to wifi that often

I wonder if you can pick up the internet on Blackberry in remote locations?

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.

And how did the iPhone do on that area?

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...
