Just think it's funny how blackberry user's have been bashing the I.phone stating that us I.phone owners needed to buy real phones! And how great there blackberrys are! Well if that's the case when I upgraded from the 1st generation I.phone to the 3G version why do the blackberry owners asking me for my old I.phone if I according to them I needed to buy a real phone! I'm not trying to bash them about how my phones better than there's. I have come to the conclusion they must be jeoulous of I.phone the way they want to bash the I.phone. Blackberry in my opinion even as a company must realize the I.phone is best cell phone ever made they have gone & tryed copying apples product. Only downfall I have with my I.phone isn't actually with the phone it's with At&T!!!! Not my favorite carrier that in my opinion is U.S.Cellular!</p> Haven’t had chance to use the storm yet.

For those that cant seem to see a comparison are truly blind. There is no comparison. Just the video quality has proven to be more superior than that of the I phone and I pod touch. No WiFi, big deal. Why would I want to be tied down to a network in which I can't walk away from freely more than 20 feet. Verizon's EVDO has proven to be the fastest time after time, after time. Assides from all of the great features the Storm offeres business users like myself, has anyone looked at the camera resolution? 3.2 and the picture can be sent instantly through MMS. Yeah, the I phone can also take a picture with it's 2.0 camera but, whats the deal with having to log in to your email in order to send it. This defeats the entire purpose of "instant" messaging. It's not called "have to log in to your email and send a picture messaging.!"</p> I gotta say, the “STORM” has proven to be the true I Phone killer.

Just the thought of it RIM thinking they could out due Apple on their 1st attempt makes me lol.

Below are a little eye candy for those who doubt me…

Beating the iPhone in browsing is a very tall order that I don’t see anyone coming close to. Sorry RIM fans.

Very nice, Kevin!

TheiPhoneblog.com will, of course, run our own tests, using a cardboard cut out of the iPhone 3G vs. your video of the Storm. We predict Safari will crash less!

What’s up with the lack of WiFi, though? Is RIM going all Battlestar Galactica on wireless? I know WiFi on the iPhone leaves me open to the frakken Cylons, but with warp speed, exchanging files via Zero Config, sweet, sweet remote desktop over 802.11g, and otherwise integrating with home automation and virtually every other WiFi equipped device on the planet… at least I’ll have fun before I’m nuked.

Any chance the GSM Storm will get WiFi?

Waiting on your review. Be kinder than Time. Please :)

I’m not sure why the average person would want an iPhone-esque phone when they can have the real thing.

Hopefully, RIM will go back to doing what they do best: make awesome, reliable, smartphones with top-notch keyboards and second-to-none e-mail.

UGH. Made me feel dirty. Now I need to go bathe, then search for some old iPhone unboxing footage, just to cleanse my palate.
