Anonymous (10/12): AT&T would be smart to not choose sides and offer the blackberry storm to their customers before their customers leave them. Like me! For me, it's a matter of organization and being able to sync my phone with my calendar for work and be on top of all of the meetings, tasks and etc. that I need to take care of. The iPhone, although sexy, doesn't offer that. Furthermore, I have an iPod, 30GB, don't need the iPhone. (report)
Anonymous (10/25): well, since you're already gonna be on the data plan with the iphone i don't see where wifi is a big issue. with no wifi you can get longer battery life and i'd rather have pic and video messaging over wifi any day. GO blackberry! (report)
msaster (10/27): I have ATT and want a STORM. I have waited since July for the Bold and now just want a Storm and how to get one that will work correctly. Sice verizon doesnt have sim cards (report)
Anonymous (10/27): Well the Verizon storm DOES have a sim card and that is how the storm could be consider as a "World Phone" collection. It is truse MOST of Verizon phones do NOT have sim cards since they are running off of CDMA net work and other carrier such as AT&T and Sprint runs on GDS this would be the reason why we can NOT "unlock" the verizon phones to use it for differnt carrier due to running on a different signal even after unlocking. Verizon Does have two other phones other then the Storm that does have sim cards and one of them are the 8800 series but AGAIN it would not work even if you CAN UNLOCK it since Verizon is running on CDMA and NOT GDS (report)
conner11 (10/30): iphone sucks always getting hot overheating blackberry is and always will be the best apple stay with what you know computers (report)
Anonymous (11/21): YAYAY!! (report)

Anonymous (11/23): I don't understand how every other blackberry is an ATT product where the MOST AMAZING blackberry to date gets sold out to VERIZON. Of all the companies, VERIZON??!?! (report)
G84 (11/30): I want the Storm for AT&T and if I don't hear talks of it soon I plan on switching networks. (report)
Anonymous (1/10): I want to try the "Storm" on my available network. I live in Alaska--yes, it is part of the continental u.s. (report)
Anonymous (1/11): ATT is gonna piss me off bc I waited all damn year just 2 hear Verizon is gonna the only company 2 have it!! I'm gonna say screw it and get the HTC! (report)
Anonymous (1/14): BLACKKBERRYYY!!!!!! :] (report)
Anonymous (1/24): AT&T better get the BB Storm. Many BB user like me switched to AT&T because they get the new BB stuff first. Now the hotest new BB phone goes to Verizon first. That is not right. I have the Bold but want the Storm. Maybe I will go back to Verizon, because I can keep my number. As for the iPhone, great device but not business class. Can't: cut and paste, search emails, call for calendar request and on top of that no stereo bluetooth. Great brower though. (report)
Anonymous (1/27): I am now with Verizon and love the Storm. Sorry AT&T. NOT! (report)
Anonymous (2/7): The AT&T and T-mobile reps will tell you the storm will be available in a few months just to keep you waiting. No one knows if it will EVER "officially" be sold for AT&T or T-mobile, however... where there's a will there's a way. I am currently using an unlocked storm with T-mobile. As long as the unit is unlocked the phone calls and sms will work with your sim card, but not internet and mms... same thing with AT&T For internet and MMS, I had to go to crackberry.com where someone has altered the service books for a t-mobile 8100 pearl to work with the storm. I think he charges 10 bucks for it now, but there's a forum thread on the steps for T-mobile and a sepereate thread for AT&T customers. With just a little patience, you can make it work. I know because I did! The downfall- the 3g for t-mobile is a different freq than Verizon, therefor the internet on a storm adapted to work with t-mobile can only be used with "edge". I'm not sure about 3g with AT&T, but I think I read somewhere the frequency for AT&T 3g and Verizon were the same. It's still an awesome phone, either way! (report)

Anonymous (5/17): AT&T you lost going to VZN and the Storm. (report)
Anonymous (6/23): BB you lost another customer to the iPhone. Should have given the Strom to AT&T your largest carrier. (report)
Anonymous (7/9): iphone is to overrated and doesn't have its own enterprise server. (report)
Anonymous (8/1): I have a blackberry storm, it's not all it's hyped up to be. This phone freezes so much and is really slow at times. I had to wait 3 months for the update to make it stop restarting everyday. I do like this phone though. An iphone would be nice but it's on AT&T and i just love verizon way to much. (report)

woooohooooo (10/8): Have about 10,000 songs. Too bad blackberry storm doesnt support locked AAC. To bad no wifi and no app store. The storm looks and sounds ok, but sadly Verizon Wireless doesnt get service where i live! Oh and forgot to mention this; it doesnt have to do with iphone and storm but VZW is switcing to LTE soon, the same tech that at&t is using! FINALLY SMART!(4G speeds estimated to 100Mbps) (report)
Anonymous (11/28): iPhone is the shit (report)
Anonymous (11/29): I have an iPhone and this i could say is the best phone out right now. yes it has some features that i wish it would have like MMS and recording video. But the iPhone takes the win here. (report)
Anonymous (12/8): The Storm is a piece of crap. Just read David Pogue's NYT review "The Blackberry Dud." Doesn't even have wifi. iPhones rock. (report)
cjm (12/17): I dont understand why Wifi is a selling point? If you have a data plan, Wifi doesnt matter!!! (report)
Anonymous (12/31): iPhone sucks cuz you have to pay extra money for it each month (report)
Anonymous (1/22): I have an iPhone and once you unlock and jailbreak it is way better than any other phone. I can record videos. Zoom while taking pics. Text while I'm using another application. I can txt landscape and also my screen looks exactly as the blackberry storm. Including the keyboard sounds. So all you have to do is unlock it and jailbreak it. (report)
Anonymous (4/21): Love it (report)
Anonymous (9/26): ummmmm... is that even a question? yeah umm the blackberry storm is a piece of crap. id rather have like a frickin nokia brick (report)
Anonymous (10/26): I hate my iphone. I mean it would be great if all I needed it for was to mess around and play games and stuff. But, I run a business and it doesn't do 1/2 the stuff I need it to. I switched from a BB Curve b/c I HAD to have the iphone and 6 months later I'm counting down to be able to get a new phone. I wish At&t would get the storm! (report)
Anonymous (10/28): I have the storm, wish i had the iphone. I love Apple. I love Verizon. Bought the storm for $49. Isn't even worth that.. The iphone's UI is so much more polished. The only thing the storm has is that you can customize it with different themes, even tho every one that I have tried (7) slows down the phone, and crashes it.. Viva La IPhone!! (report)
genius (7/18): I love my iphone! I had the BB storm and it was crap. Would never switch back to Verizon as I would always have no service and wanted to yell can you hear me now? But when I canceled my contract and my account I had the guy put on file Can you hear me now? GOOD! Your service sucks!!! (report)
