BlackBerry Storm 9530

good choice thats what i did with my storm and there is a trade in program that will most likely be in effect so u can do that with ur phone too that is what i will be doing with my iphone

Okay, of course I had the bb storm, but i also have the bb bold and the iphone.
So far I am very impressed with the performance of the iphone vs. the bold. I can clearly see now that rim has definitely decided to push phones to the market that just are not ready yet.
At least 5 dropped calls per day with the bold and none so far with the iphone.
The storm is easiest to type on of course for my 50 email per day days! Yet, my iphone has not crashed yet but in the storm defense, the iphone does very little multitasking which frees up more memory. The storm defintely does more multitasking.
I'm told with the 3gs, it will do much more. I can see why iphone users are happy though.

Thanks for the unbiased update.

The Bold is another phone that seems to have a lot of software leaks out for it.

Thanks for the info!

19 apps downloaded so far. Exsperienced very slight lag. But the lag is equivalent to daily storm lag after 19 apps on the iphone. The email on the iphone could use some organization. I've got 10 email accounts on this phone and when I get an email I don't know which account its coming from. It does go straight to the account that got the email but it would be nice if there was some sort of asterick beside the account.

Battery life is poor, well, because I can't put the darn thing down!!!! If i'm not on the phone, I'm listenting to music. If i'm not listening to music, I'm playing a game need for speed hot persuit. If i'm not playing a game i'm texting; you get the picture hawkeye.

I am still very impressed. The iphone is very wel...

This is so much BS, I have to laugh. Congrats on trading down to ATT service.

Your teeny bopper friends will be impressed, I am sure.

This is unbiased adult, and I stress adult commentary about a phone switch that I made that I am reporting on.
The bb storm is a good phone and has a great platform and I don't knock it.

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood.

Then as one adult to another.....congrats on trading down to AT&T's crappy service.

Regarding crappy, i'm in Chicago. I've had more dropped calls on the storm than the iphone. No dropped calls on the iphone yet.

The browser works better and faster on the iphone with more resources used than the bold and storm combined.
For instance, the bold and storm recieves splotchy recieption which causes the pandora to stop in downtown. Regardless of where I am, I get great internet and pandora never stops on the iphone.

Craptastic service is not always the network, a lot of times its the engineering of the phone. Which we can all agree that rim pushed these phones to the market and of course I'm comparing a 2nd gen iphone to a 1st gen storm. So of course rim is trying to play catchup. And sometimes its the network.

I'm...

I certainly agree that the iphone is better than the storm. I have an ipod touch which is basically the same thing without phone and camera. Superb device. In fact when Verizon gets the iphone, I will too. (unless there is something better by then!!!)

However, if you travel as much as I do, you would see the value of Verizon service vs AT&T. I travel alot with a friend that has an iphone with ATT and there are many times I have service and they do not.

As much as I would love to get the new iphone, I can not bring myself to switch to ATT.

Oh yeah, if I had to travel to different areas all of the time I would still have my storm for sure.
