I would say to be an "iPhone killer" a phone would have to be able to not only acheive a certain high level of performance but also unseat the iPhone as the all time highest selling and most acclaimed cell phone worldwide.

so lets say a phone does half of the things better then the iphone but still doesnt beat it in all time sales.

and we all know iphone only sold that many items because of brand recognition. not because its a good phone.

so does it kill iphone if it does half the things better or is it a iphone co champ?

just like jordan shoes, i love them but they are not the best but they sure sell a heck of a lot because of the name.

That is utter garbage. You have been swallowing the Verizon kool-aid way too much.

The iPhone did not become the worlds leading cell phone because of brand recognition. It did it because it is an amazing device with an amazing interface. It has the single most advanced OS on a cell phone period. It revolutionized the entire industry because it was a stage ahead in technology and performance. Go to any IEEE, or other major consumer electronics convention, and try and find anyone that will not admit (sometimes reluctantly) that the iPhone is currently the best phone made.

Microsoft is also a hugely recognized name and their phones do not do that well.

Apple succeeds by building a quality, user friendly product. The iPhone is no except...

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 you're paid by apple arnt you. seriously man the iphone might have sold the most all time because it was new and exciting and different then other phones. but if it was so awesome and the best phone everyone would have one. and if it was the best phone it would be on every carrier dont you think.

i dont think verizon is the best, they might be but im with them cause it works best for me.

iphone is kinda like the ps1. it blew everyone away the n64 and dreamcast. then ps2 came out and it still won between xbox and game cube. well now look xbox 360 wins over ps3 and you have wii which is omg something different.

the only reason iphone is "king" is that everyone is copying them and not making something new ...

Your lack of understanding of the market and how things work is astounding. You just spout crap and hope if you spout enough of it people will tire of reading it and not challenge your ignorance.

not true at all. join the rest of us outside in the real world and away from the computer screen and you might look at things differnt. fresh air is an amazing thing. try not to be so one sided. i like hearing different views and opinions. its how we learn, but i guess you are already the smartest man alive...

outside world? what would a no-friends, pimple faced geek know about the real word. your attitude is proof you are a child trying to play at being a man on the internet.

i guess when you can't defend your own stupid statements you need to swerve the topic.

i plead being bored. car sales are slow, work 9hr days at the dealership, not much to do but mess with people on online. i dont try to push my opinions on people, i just say what i like and dont try to make people believe one way or another.

I will say that the Storm is definitely not an iPhone killer. It is not even decent competition. The true iPhone killer on the horizon looks to me to be the Nokia N97. This is the phone Apple will be scrambling to match. With flash support, user facing camera, 5mp video/still camera, etc it appears to blow the current iPhone away features wise.

The higher end Nokias have typically not been associated with US carriers though which kills the guys that don't or won't pay full retail for a phone. If they start giving them away with contracts they would have more of a chance or are they about to do that?

Rumors are that the N97 will be available from a major US GSM based carrier next year.

Now that would just about ensure it's success. I could never figure out why they weren't doing that

After reading all this, which I found quite entertaining, one thing I would like to mention is the iPhone is not that much of a phenom overseas. The reason? They already have better phones overseas. I saw someone mention the N97 coming out. Did you know I was told Best buy will sell it for 500+ dollars? Did you also know if you go to Greece it is less than 100 dollars because the N95 is out. I got to play with a N95 for a minute, 30gb internal memory, much better camera. Off topic....

Point is overseas has much better devices. We could very well get a phone that is the END ALL of this Iphone dispute but it will take a long time of research and devlopment not to mention they have to appeal to the masses. Noone wants to spend 1000 bucks on ...

Apologize, believe some of the facts about the Nokia phone are skewed. However all the Iphone killers come out about a year before overseas...
