The hype is WAY too much!

Stog-a-Boy · 12-12-2008, 09:47 PM

for now at least

I really want one, but I think I may wait a few months for the bugs to get worked out.

could be that VZW didn't help by crippling it.

Genetic Defect · 12-13-2008, 08:47 AM

Also the original iPhone was not flawless

Me too.
With my Verizon credits, the Storm will run me $50 v. $300 for the iPhone.
iPhone just seems so much nicer but AT&T is my cell company for my business cell phone and they are inferior next to Verizon for service/reception.

No WiFi on the Storm.
No text message with photo on the iPhone but with my MacBook, it only makes sense to get the iPhone.
No speaker on the iPhone but one on the Storm.
For iTunes, the iPhone is better.
For iPhoto, the iPhone also takes the prize.
For gadgets, I think the iPhone is also the winner.
Just sucks that one is stuck with AT&T and the major price difference that can be enough for a nice box of Cuban Churchills.

I really don't like that the storm doesn't have wifi. Plus, I really like my ipod touch, which is the iphone w/ out the phone. Only problem is the cancellation fee to switch to att and then $70 or whatever it is a month for the bill.

I'm guessing if you have bars you can

12-16-2008, 05:13 PM

I like my iPhone...it just works so great with my mac! and I love my mac!

That's why I went to the iPhone...I will say that the reception was better with VZW than ATT but I can take the trade off for the UI and how seamlessly it works with my mac

Genetic Defect · 12-16-2008, 05:14 PM

If the iPhone was available on VZW I would have one

I'm like you, Perry, in that I have much better reception & customer support with VZ. Had ATT for several years before that and lots of dropped calls, reception problems in certain areas, etc. Maybe they will have the bugs worked out in another year when I'm ready to upgrade from my BB Pearl.

hopefully bugs worked out includes getting wi-fi. I really like Verizon as well, I just don't know if the blackberry can compete with the iphone. I mean I can sync it with my mac with mobileme. Has my itunes account and appears to be more user friendly. I guess we will see. 2nd generation is always better though.

Genetic Defect · 12-16-2008, 05:26 PM

Greg, sounds like a good plan

I may hold out three more months

Genetic Defect · 12-16-2008, 05:32 PM

Wifi is up to VZW

Genetic Defect · 12-16-2008, 05:57 PM

Wow it works with a mac, who cares about reception and dropped calls
