You know what I find to be funny, is the fact that most of the people that talked all that crap about the iPhone being keyboardless were Blackberyy users. Now that blackberry has a touch screen keyboard it seems like its the next best thing since sliced bread. I think people need to stop being so ignorant. I for one have an iPhone but now that the Blackberry Bold is out on at&t I plan on getting that too since I love Blackberry. Also, maybe everyone should stop praising a phone that has yet to be released. Just because the phone states to have tons of features doesnt mean the phone will be great. Dont forget the iPhone does have a killer web browser and to be honest the pinch and zoom feature is really great. I like other phones too but I have kept my current apple because of that feature. If the Blackberry incorporates features like that to their web browser I will be sold. BUT ONLY AFTER I SEE AND PLAY WITH THE ACTUAL PHONE!!!! NOT LIKE MOST OF YOU THAT ARE GOING OFF OF WHAT YOU THINK IT WILL BE LIKE.
The Iphone requires a data plan at $30/month too. And VZW 3G network covers 85% of the country... AT&T is less than 3%. Take a look at 3G coverage on AT&T (the map won't load lol). VZW has a comparison on their page of VZW/ATT coverage for 3G.

actually the comparison map is out of date it is from august 15! and if you look at at&t's 3g coverage map, they are doing a pretty good job catching up!! they have coverage in oklahoma city where verizon doesnt also in parts of texas where verizon doesnt.
Does anyone know if the Storm will be able to send pix messages? Sounds stupid but for all its hype the iphone cant even do that without having to log onto a website.
What about Vcast service? I currently have it on my Voyager but I notice that Verizon Blackberry's in the past have disable Vcast? Will the Storm allow Vcast video or just the music? Thanx in advance.

Wow I guess the "STORM" is causing a "STORM"! November 21st is the official release date as of now... Limited quanity in store so most of the purchases of the "STORM" will be shipped to customers.
I had a chance to get hands on with this device yesterday and it is flat out amazing. The way the touch/click of the screen works is sick!!!!! The display quality and sound are also astounding. There is a lag in it when opening applications and when you tilt the screen but those are supposed to be worked out by the time the "acutal" phone hits the stores. The iphone is a neat device but anyone who says the Storm won't take its place is dead wrong...wait until you use it and you will change your tune quickly. And remember...ITS THE NETWORK!
SORRY THERE WILL BE A IPHONE KILLA. IS CRAZY HOW SAMSUNG, LG, HTC,MOTOROLA, PRADAPHONE AND NOW BLACKBERRY WANNA BE A IPHONE KILLA. THAT'S WAT MAKE IT SO GREAT ALL OF THEM GOING AFTER 1 COMPANY, WHICH IS ''APPLE". PEOPLE ACTTING LIKE THEY TOTALLY UNAWARE THAT ''APPLE'' JUST GOT IN THE PHONE BUSINESS IMAGINE WHEN THEY UP THEIR 5,6,7 IPHONE... CLEARLY, THEY GONNA PUT PEOPLE OUTTA WORK. SO IPHONE WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST PHONE OUTTA MARKET PERIOD! BLACKBERRY WHO? WILL FALL RIGHT ON IT'S FACE AND WOULD NOT MAKE IT TO THE DOOR. THE ONLY THAT'S GONNA BE A IPHONE KILLA IS.............. IPHONE ITSELF SO YA KEEP DREAMING ABOUT IT. THIS PHONE GONNA FALL SHORTAND NOBODY I MEAN NOBODY GONNA TOPAPPLE PRODUCT. REMEMBER, THEY JUST GOT TO THE PHONE BUSINESS LOOK HOW LOUD THEY ALREADY GET.

Something will eventaly top it. Fact is in 3 years no one will give a crap about the storm, i phone or whatever is out there right now. Thats the nature of the beast. As for being the best phone its not its a damn good phone but not perfect, nothing ever will be. The storm will also be an impressive piece of equipment that will (hopefully) take its place along side the I phone and give Verizon users a really cool phone that they are sorely lacking right now. also CAPS is obnoxious people and "blackberry who?" come on man blackberry will be making grreat phones til the end of time
Yeah! Blackberry who? oh wait, apparently you know who Blackberry is since you called out its name you dweeb! And that ra-ra cheerleader spirit...so sad...apparently you don't get out much to play with other phones but to worship iPhone. I admit, iPhone's a great device, but come on, get the Apple out of your throat...unless they're paying you to have your nose so far up their rear-ends. I also understand that the Storm isn't going to be a iPhone killer, but guess what, they both have features that the other phone can't do, or don't have. Take a look at it, how many damn upgrade did it take to get iPhone to where it's at today? and the iPhone 3G is retarded, it isn't even a true 3G network...I'm not trying to argue, but please if you had a brain you'd play with it...think twice before you post comments....
lol i love how people ignore th basis of a comment by calling them out on a "figure of speech"
you do realize that 122. simply said "black-berry-who?" because apple is just THAt big

There won't be an iphone killer just like there wasn't an ipod killer after everyone has tried to take down the ipod and failed people continue to try to take down the iphone and have been failing. It all comes down to software, what you have with the storm is the same exact software as the bold minus the keyboard. There is really no innovation with the storm besides the clickable screen, so still no chat sms, no native youtube app, and can't open multiple browser windows like safari. The device will sell max about 200,000 units 4th quarter but won't come close to reaching iphone numbers.
