I have an iPod Touch and love the interface. Would like to switch my PalmTreo for an iPhone but need to stay on Verizon for work issues.

Does anyone have experience with the new Blackberry Storm - it appears to have many of the features I am attracted to on the iPhone.

Why exactly do you need the blackberry? I mean, the droids are out and the nexus one is around the corner. They have a lot of the same features as the iphone. But specifically to the blackberry. The blackberries have great battery life. The app store is much more limited than the iphone's and android's. It is great for business, and although I don't have a storm, they have gotten pretty good reviews. The storm two is even better.

The original Storm got horrible reviews, mostly due to typing issues on account of its mechanical surepress using a single pushbutton in the middle of the otherwise free-floating screen. Other complaints were software related and appear to all be fixed with the (free) OS 5.0 software and firmware upgrades.

The Storm 2 is much improved, with excellent clicking feel due to its move from mechanical to electronic surepress and the use of four instead of one "button" (its a piezo electric unit now).

I just replaced my BlackBerry 8830 with the Storm2 and couldn't be happier with the device.

whatever you do, the 1st gen blackberry storm is really really bad, 4 friends, 4 bb storms (at least 2 replacements under their belt), all gave it a thumbs down
i have no clue on the 2nd gen but i have a feeling it could be better... the blackberry curve and bold are both excellent alternatives =)

however, at&t really sucks on the iphone and coverage is not that great if you are outside of the city

since wifi is literally ubiquitous now, you might want to try a VoIP solution on the iPhone (or ipod touch with a headset)

iCall is free for 5 minute calls (to any US number anywhere) and a place to start to dabble in the voip waters
$10 a month gets you unlimited call times

all in all, verizon has my vote as a carrier =)

My phone has a WAY better camera then them. It's a samsung flight and it has zoom (but it's always on high zoom but u can go out) but no flash. Blackberry's have better cameras, BUT my friend has a blackberry curve, and the camera is better on mine. The iPhone is [censored] and the only people who think it's the 'King of Phones'.

I have had a blackberry for such a long time now, it just feels right, I got the 9900, but have heard good things about the storm. I mainly use it for email and think is brilliant. Just think there are way too many useless apps.

BB Storm 2 using BB OS 5.0 operating system which is superior to BB OS 4.7 Use by the storm. But speed is not very good in the BB Storm. iPhone uses OS IOS from 4.0 to offer a multitude of features for the device. In addition, it has multitasking. It has the function Axis Gyro with excellent performance in games while the BB Storm 2 is not very good in this aspect.

You're walking on thin ice, without quantifying or explaining your reason, you will be seen as a troll. For the future, the more details are better.

You make some good points. I currently use a BB Bold for work and send tons of emails so I wouldn't trade the keyboard in for anything. Maybe its my fingers but I cant type properly on my Android or my ipod touch. I have tried using some of the keyboard apps that enlarge the buttons and auto-populate word suggestions but still not the product of choice for business use...my 2 cents. cheers!

There is no doubt that iPhone is better and more popular than BlackBerry Storm. Becasue iPhone has more applications and entertainment functions that BlackBerry.

Blackberry Storm 2 is a nice cell, it is the best if mailing is concerned. But if iPhone 4S is compared with storm 2 I will prefer iPhone for its interface and the number of apps provided over the store.

Well my Dad personally likes BlackBerry's but he used those since they came out.My personal choice would be to tell you iPhone because up here in Canada RIM has issues.
Also the iPhone can be like an iPod Touch with the phone.It has iCloud as well to sync with your iPod Touch.The only
Disadvantage is it syncs with iTunes and that is not good for work purposes.

I once had a blackberry and I really don't recommend it.
Crashes a lot, not too many cool apps to spend your time on, and if I'm not mistaken, I think RIM went bankrupt...
