So better to have a perfect VW beetle or a flawed BMW?
That's my analogy now that I've owned the Storm for a few hours. Blackberries can *do* so much more than iPhones can. The list has been talked about to death, so I won't go into specifics here, but comparing the zen simplicity of the iPhone to the Storm's massive amount of built-in feature content is a lot like comparing the cars mentioned in the title. Personally I'd rather have the BMW even if I have to be a bit closer friend with my mechanic than I like. Yes, the iPhone is a bit more intuitive, and yes, what does work on the iPhone works pretty well, but I'd rather have a full powerhouse in my hands.
Btw, for those of you who don't have the cradle yet, it is seriously sweet! I got mine at daydeal.com. They're west coast, and free shipping. I get stuff the second morning and I've bought from them twice so far, nothing but good to say.
