VZW turned the iphone down. it wasnt good enough for them. tryin to send & receive a picture message is rediculous. when something as basic as the JUKE does it. yeaaa.

got great 3g coverage, it has a warranty and it has 3rd party insurance. it last more than 4hours. Beside, what the hell are you doing on a phone for more than 3 hours straight. people that have busy or NORMAL lives dont have time to mold a phone to their ear. get a life spaz.

#48....you didn't make it past fourth grade did you? and to everyone on the Iphone bandwagon....you have a great phone. it works really well, and has cool features. but it's not for everybody, so get off of people's backs if they want the storm. you can continue to use the Iphone, while other's have the storm. and if the storm flops (highly doubtful) oh well, it happens. what's it to you if somebody you don't even know has the storm? nothing....absolutely nothing. and VZW DID turn down the Iphone because Apple would not let them put the Vcast software on it (video, music etc.) i've played with the Storm and the Iphone both...and both are outstanding phones. so lay it to rest, for everyone's sake....oh, yeah, and the word "verBLOWzon" makes now sense what-so-ever....just throwin that out there

do any research.... seriously.. verizon turned down the Iphone.. bad decision? probably but it still came to verizon first..

i dont know if it was a bad decision. they're still growing customers faster than anyone else, and that was the last 2 quarters when they didnt have the storm.. This will definately be a interesting first quarter for vzw

i agree, EnV2 is a great phone. although i'm getting one this weekend, MAYBE there will be a new version of the Storm coming out by the time your upgrade comes as ther people have hoped for RIM working out all the bugs although i think that's unlikely. RIM products typically doesn't have many bugs or kinx to work out

I sell Verizon. Got to play with one today. Its AWESOME! I have a Curve and like having buttons to type on. The Dare and Voyager and Iphone are just not fun to text on when you text 2000 outgoing text a month and emails on top of that. However, on the Storm its MUCH Different. The screen "button" that presses down each keystroke really makes it soo much easer to type on than other touch screen Devices. Most locations are getting a limited amount so I assume we will be SOLD OUT by lunch time. Verizon has already told RIM to make 500,000 more devices. It also comes with a movie Trailer of that new Vin Diesel movie on it. Watching it was like watching a small HD clip...it was soooo crisp and clear and the sound, so rich. It was truly amazing.

I totally agree with you, i had a pleasure of playing with a Storm today also, it's very innovative

NO WAY! TOUCH PRO RULES!!!!!!!! Plus, who wants Verizon anyways, they will just cripple the phones OS and charge you a ridiculous amount of money.

Stop typing what everyone else's typing if you don't know anything, think about it, every carrier cripples their devices, and at least Verizon cripples the devices and not the coverage, I'd rather pay a little for device and service and actually get what I'm paying for. That's why AT&T give you roll over minutes since most of the time coverage sucks and just make you stop talking and start texting.

Well did you read that Verizon is going to start madating that all phones have a data plan on them? First they're going to require it for all PDA's and Smartphones and then eventually for all of their phones. Plus, Verizon's Data Plans AREN'T cheap by any means. I feel bad for Verizon and Alltel Customers who are going to get raped in additional charges

Yes i did read that verizon is going to start mandating all smartphones to have data plan, but i don't mind it, it's great service, besides "FREE WIFI AREN'T EVERYWHERE" so where else are you going to get data service?
