Just how is Storm better than 3GS???

[JPD217]

I think its a personal thing. For me it is anyway, I won't own anything made by Apple. And I have not had the problems a lot of people have had. I got my Storm in March, still have the same phone and it is working fine.

I just hate itunes and apple trampin on your balls for control of your device.

It's an apples to oranges comparison. It's not which phone is better, but which phone is better for YOU.

RIM is still playing catch up in being a serious competitor in the consumer smartphone market.

RIM has a ton of things in the pipeline, unfortunately the biggest one (OpenGL support) doesn't apply on the Storm1 but does apply to the Storm2.

Other things are new development kits, widgets, upcoming WebKit browser with flash/silverlight support.

The Storm2 has small differences for now...but just typing on it is leaps and bounds easier and faster than on the Storm1...I tried typing on my Storm1 the other day. i was fast but I've gotten to be so fast on the Storm2 that I'd have to wait for the Storm1 screen to depress to type the next letter.

Most of these changes will start rolling out in 2010 sometime with OpenGL currently available...it's just a matter of waiting for developers to create their 3D games and apps.

Once these things are all rolled out, then it'd be an appropriate time to more directly compare the Storm2 to the iPhone 3GS.

RIM was late to the party but hey, better than not showing up at all I guess.

If you use your phone as a PHONE, the Storm is pretty good at that and in fact better. When you start to expand beyond that scope is when the Storm starts falling behind massively due to neglect and shortsightedness on RIMs behalf.

Apps, Apple has RIM beat by a mile but on that note, every IMPORTANT app is nearly on every smartphone platform now (google maps, FB, myspace, pandora, youtube, etc etc)

Media, Apple crushes RIM here beyond a mile. I'll be honest i ******* hate iTunes with a passion not seen since hitler in WWII (yeah, its that strong) but it works, and its intuitive. I can watch the same video on an iphone and on a blackberry from youtube and the quality is just night and day.

Browser, I dont even need to say it, RIM has languishing at the bottom for awhile, and safari is top dog (for the most part) not even comparable

iTunes, the biggest online media retailer on the planet, yeah its integrated with everything on the iphone and has been since day 1 to buy music (lol[b][/b][b][/b][b][/b][b][/b]thatdrm) the berry has nothing remotely similar.

The Storm has its own merits and does things much better than the iPhone does as well, but the leap between some thing is a huge one. I hate itunes and as such will never stoop to an iphone (why i own a Zune HD), but there is no denying the phone works and quite well. As much as we are all haters here (i know i am) if they ever had a CDMA version of the Iphone the Storm section would be a barren wasteland...**** quite a few jumped to the Droid lol

The reason apple sales skyrocketed when the 3gs came out is because Al-quida started buying them. Saves them a fortune on explosives

So true...I wouldn't be here either if Droid or iphone were available at the same time on VZW.
You can tell the forums have slowed down a bit since the Droid dropped lol.

The 3GS seems to be a lot better

[alboboy10]

For someone that would say "the storm is a better phone"...if you're getting a smart phone, don't you want the best of both worlds? The iphone beats it, it's a competition of smart phones and what they can do...not which one has better flash lol

although it is very pathetic that the iphone has no flash

[graystuff]

There are four things the storm is better than the iphone at and are the things I got it for:
1. The click screen, I love that and when used to it can type really well.
2. Email and other push content. Second to none- i said none
3. Multi tasking. That's a must.
4. The feel and style of it. Very nice feel in the hand and modern looking.

I have opera mini 5 beta installed and is just as fast as the iphone speed tests on youtube. Add to that OS 5x with flick scrolling and the gap not so big. So it's not as fast as some, but it does do it.
