- The Storm has *, which the iPhone doesn't:
* removable / user changeable Battery
* user upgradeable memory / swappable memory
* 3.2MP auto-focus camera with flash
* video recording capability
* push email
* MMS
* copy and paste
* GSM and CDMA
* 480 x 360 pixels
* clickable screen
* turn by turn navigation
* creates, edits, and saves Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and PDF documents
* keyboard in landscape and portrait mode (QWERTY, SureType, and Multi-Tap)
* multitasking
* Does not require iTunes to function
* noise canceling microphone
* no "Kill Switch"
* Bluetooth stereo (A2DP)
*tethering capability
* you can install whatever you want
Most importantly! You are not getting reamed by ATT and Steve Jobs!

Help me add to the list.11-19-08 08:56 AMLike 0 - PDF thing was actually a question of mine. Are we sure on that? I hadn't seen it in the VZ writeup.
Just viewing, editing isn't a concern.11-19-08 09:20 AMLike 0 -
- The BB has a kill switch. Where have you been? The iPhone has push email (ActiveSync on Exchange is push), get your facts correct. And you can tether an iPhone as well.
Just keeping you honest.11-19-08 09:27 AMLike 0 -

I know att has talked about allowing tethering, but has that gone into effect?

That's my point, get the fanboy mentality out of your mind, it's not as simple as that. If it's all fanboyism, then it's just as safe to say the OP is just trying to justify the Storm being superior in this case. See, the tables can be turned either way.11-19-08 09:50 AMLike 0 - AT&T has released info that they will make this happen shortly. Yes, currently any jailbroken iphone can do it, but this is not because of the hardware, but rather the carrier, so why not argue that it's rather an AT&T vs Verizon issue rather then a Storm vs iPhone issue.
Actually smart boy, I'm nothing of an Apple fan, but when I see false info posted, I'll call your *** on it. Nothing can be looked at at face value. Hardware is hardware, software is software, and carrier rules are always BS. Is it correct for me to argue that the Sprint 8830 is better hardware because it has open GPS and the Verizon 8830 does not. No, because it's the same thing, the carrier is the cause behind that.

Software, Hardware, and Carrier are all equally important. You cannot ignore a deficiency from any of these.11-19-08 10:01 AMLike 0 - I didn't see it mentioned but the Storm can take video as well. I think the iPhone can as well, but I think it's a 3rd party app that had to be written for it.11-19-08 10:37 AMLike 0
- I don't think you can create Word, Exel, or PowerPoint projects with the version out of the box . I think you can only view or edit these these programs. I think you have to purchase Docs to Go in order to create.

I know this doesn't fit into this forum and is probably a stupid question, but I was looking for people to respond. Thanks in advance!11-19-08 11:40 AMLike 0 - I will be a new BB user on Friday and I'm trying to find out if when I sync my comcast email account will it pull over my contacts list?
