except for all the wonderful apps that are wifi only...such as slingplayer. Such a great app, but who needs it ONLY in wifi. Or in the places were you can't get 3G because (at least in my area) ATT sucks. Same reason slingplayer makes no sense for the iphone.

The Storm was made to compete with the iphone and I don't think it can begin to do so until it has WiFi.

That app applies to a very small group of people. Personally I'd take battery life over wifi.

I would take battery life AND WiFi, which hopefully the Storm 2 will provide. I just don't think the first-gen storm was a good competitor for the iphone. It came with a boatload of problems which appear to have been/are being at least partly addressed.
