BlackBerry Storm 9530
Storm with .99 and Iphone 3G
Someone please explain to me with no sarcasim what the Iphone does better then the Storm. Please be grown up about this question. Feature for feature, being honest, which does more.

First off, I have no prefence for either major carrier. VZ has better network coverage in most areas, and AT&T has much better choice of phones.
If you do a lot of texting/web-browsing, do not get the Storm. I used it for 3 weeks and it's absolutely awful at both. The browser pales in comparison to the web access on the iPhone and the Sure-Type keyboard is better than the Qwerty on the device.
I actually find the iPhone easier to text on than the Storm. I need a BB for work, so I now use the Bold instead.
If you can only choose one device, and send less than 50 texts/e-mails a day, go for the iPhone.

i do a lot of text and surfing, and the storm is just fine. thats my opinion.
texting is great, and with a lil practice, and editing the auto correct words, texting is very nice.
as far as browsing, i think everyone agrees the iphone has the best browser, but the storm is now bad by any means.
what i like about the storm browser is:
double tap to zoom, then i can touch and highlight what i want to click, without accidentally selecting something wrong, and then click the screen to select.
and the absolutely best thing that the storm has over the iphone, and a lot of people forget this: MULTITASKING. 🙂

iPhone has better media all around from video playback to just a more overall streamlined media experience. better web browser multi touch screen so you can pinch pictures to zoom in or zoom out. APP STORE is awesome. Visual Voice mail free on iPhone full screen photos used for caller id free on iPhone these applications are also available on the Storm just not free. Now before you think I am a fan boy I just want you to know that I got rid of my iPhone because of the one thing it does not do and that is work. It is an iPod first and Phone second. The storm is the other way around. I get excellent reception on my Storm I love the email and texting aspects. The multimedia stuff is cool in the beginning but after the "newness" wears off I was ...

iphone=better all around multimedia phone
Storm=better all around business oriented phone
They both can do (except for minor issues) basically everything, but if you look at both company's backgrounds and their approaches to making the devices it becomes clear that neither phone is the best at everything.
Both are good devices 😁

Here is my opinion.
The Storm is for people who wanted an iPhone, but are stuck with Verizon, and need it for business use too.
The iPhone is for people who arent tied to a contract, and have good AT&T coverage where they live and dont need Exchange(Outlook) capabilites for their email.
If the iPhone was on Verizon, and had real support for Exchange email, it would be the Jesus phone for real. But since it doesnt.
The Storm totally fills those shoes.
And does a pretty good job and email and internet and multimedia tasks.

Funny you mentioned exchange. A relative of mine was showing me the other day exchange on his iphone. It was a mess and he hated using it for work. He of course loved the rest of the phone.
Blackberrys and WinMo phones blow the iphone out of the water on this point

Right, iPhones technically DO support exchange.
They list it right on the box.
But how it works stinks.

ONE HUGE FACTOR, STORM HAS COPY AND PASTE, IPHONE DOES NOT
Steve Jobs waves his hand in your face in a
Jedi like fashion and says, "You do not need copy and paste"
The Storm proclaims proudly as it pounds its chest in an 800lb gorilla like fashion.
I have copy and paste, but then proceeds to eat your bannanas.
