After reading reviews on CNet and other places, I am considering getting the older Blackberry Curve. It is supposed to be much easier as far as hammering out text messages and e-mails compared to the touch screen Storm. I also heard the Storm is a little slow compared to other touch screens from Samsung. The iphone seems to be the best technology out there. Unfortunately it is only available through AT&T for the time being. Verizon is much better than AT&T in the Atlanta area. I stopped counting how many times the call has been dropped when my friends call from their iphones. The apps are great though, but too bad they don't have one where you can actually use it as a phone.
