I have been using a BlackBerry Storm for over a week now. It is not what I expected.
Everyone has said that it was a poor design and that the guts and software have problems. There are some problems, minor ones, but this is by far the best BlackBerry I have used.
I remember when the iPhone came out it was $600, it took about 48 hours to have it activated. There were some minor problems with it but those have been remedied now. This BlackBerry will get tweaked over time too.
The best thing is the starting price. It was $198 at Walmart and that included a SIM card and 8Gb micro SD card. The media portion of this phone is really what got the upgrade. It has a great 3.2 mega pixel camera that will do still and video shots. The music player syncs with my iTunes. It is also much easier to download songs and ringtones than on previous Blackberries.
The 'clickable' screen is really one of the only areas that is better than the current iPhone. This eliminates accidentally clicking on links while scrolling through emails and pages in a browser. Also, this phone has 3 different typing modes so it is easy and fast to type on once you get the hang of it. In fact a total stranger on a recent flight commented about how fast I was typing.
My recommendation is that if you want a toy that can be a light saber or have a Crash Bandicoot game ready to go, get an iPhone. If you want a tool that edits spreadsheets, documents, and powerpoints out of the box get the Storm.
So remember, toy=iPhone and tool=BlackBerry Storm.
