i love how all the vzw fanboys are saying the iphone is going away... the number one selling phone isnt going to disappear overnight, especially when the storm is still a blackberry, and nothing more... albeit the iphone is a glorified ipod, there are thousands of apps available that the iphone has, which is a solid jump over storm dedicated apps... both can coexist just fine... an iphone for one, and a storm for another.... i hate all the vzw fanboys who jump on here and start spewing garbage out of their computers... this is a great phone, but like every phone out there, its just a phone... no need to get hyped up over it... its not a flag that you swear allegiance to, or a deity that you pray to...

Verizon has to cripple the team that put policies in their handsets selection

There is nothing revolutionary about the phone except it’s a mimic or a copy of the iphone lacking a lot of features
528 mhz processor, not 624 mhz, neutered, matter of fact they have chosen a cheaper cpu pxa930 instead of the powerful pxa320 (samsung omnia) which can be over clocked to a 806mhz (pxa320 has 256 kb l2 cache and a 768 kb 3d frame buffer)
Not vga, only half the revolution! When they thought of the resolution, they saw the iphone as the limit, there is no creativity (this would prove that it’s copying)
No wide screen format to play movies nicely, only square 4:3 aspect ratio, they forgot to copy that.
No infrared port
No flash support
No bluetooth v2.1
*no video acceleration, u have to pay for data plans but u cant play online games!
*no led, regular tft lcd
*no 16.7 millions true colors like the iphone,
* no wimax, don’t even dream about it
*no wifi, no streaming (u will be charged to watch movie, u can’t watch internet tv wwitv.com or even listen to internet radio), 5gb=$29.0, 6gb=$290.0, 7gb=$2900.0 ...carrier wealth and gain depends on your overage. Watching you tube movies is fun and fast and free in wifi, you even can’t synchronies contacts with computer without wifi
No high number of channels of polyphonic (32 channels only) ringtones typically 72
Pages are slow to load and render and zoom/pan operations were slow and jerky no matter what the software version is, it will be in beta till after one year at least.
Not really built for multi tasking only small memory even it has big rom also not enough ram
No 8-megapixel camera
No stereo microphone
No stereo loudspeaker
No hdmi
No electronic dictionary,
No buz card recognition
No finger print reader
Its not cheaper than the iphone
There is nothing revolutionary

Apple should name their new iphone Tornado, 32gb iphone HD with 800×480p display at 202dpi and with 802.11n wifi or could be wimax

Do you have any idea how many things you got wrong in that? Grants some are right, but some are wrong. If you're going to come off like a complete douche at least be a RIGHT douche. Now you just come off as a complete douche. When it comes down to it, the storm does more than what the iphone does. Hell, a ton of phones do more what the iphone does. This phone is better. Just get over it, move on, it had to happen someday.

yup. VZW is crippled. the Storm will suck. There isn't one thing about it that is good *sarcasm*

I mean really how high can your freakin expectations be? Call me crazy, but the iPhone doesn't have half that stuff either. hmm...

Maybe next iPhone should take Storm's old name Thunder and strike you in the head to make yourself realize how retarded you look typing out features of your dream phone which by the time they build that phone it might look like the ol' a$$ phone that Zack Morris had from Save By The Bell

did anyone tried the interface yet, cause you can download it from blackberry's site. too bad the phone don't have wifi and also you are forced to get a data plan. other then that this would be a great phone.

The storm will sell because it's a Verizon Phone... I don't have an iPhone because it's on ATT, but I'll transfer to Verizon for the Storm.

Hm...there are springs behind the touch screen right? I wonder how long until Verizon bulls back sales of the storm because of faulty springs. xD
