Don't expect that from google right away. They have said that they will allow 3rd party vendors to fill in the gaps for some features that other phones come with standard.

I'm either good, or you're just predictable. When I see a new response with your username next to the last post field, well... I think the post above explains well enough...

Ive been doing alot of research on the storm, and everyone who has tested it has loved it. The 3-way comparison is a little unfair since 2 of the phones aren't even out yet. I'd be curious to see if it changes once they're released to the public. I am a little biased towards blackberries though. I loooved my curve and can't wait for the storm.

^^^^^ basicly said what i was going to say about the comparison being biased and the storm looking pretty sweet so far. I have a pearl and the little details in the phone just bring it out. The fact that i have a flash that i sometimes use as a bright ass flashlight helps out a lot. The email feature is great, internet is great, keyboard is great. The iphone is a great phone but it is not a smart phone by definition. I'd go for the storm for sure.

crazyukrainian · 10-14-2008, 11:29 PM

wait what carrier do you have? cause if you have tmobile or such that uses a simcard just hit up ebay and look at all the shiny awesome european market phones that are like 2 years head of us..... or, look at the domestic market phones that are like 4 years ahead of us

i picked up a euro samsung with a 5 megapixel camera for my current phone, and couldn't be more pleased with it.... (i wanted a mad camera, didnt need internet or dataplans or such)

i would get watever vzw has or goto att. tmobile sucks. the iphone is sick, i should of switched to get it. if u stay wit vzw go with the blackberry storm, stay away from the dare, its a sweet phone but really isnt a smart phone. the storm should be a lot better than the iPhone since blackberry has more experience in making a smart phone

Yea going from my blackberry curve to the dare wasnt as great as i had anticipated. The dare is cool, but just small things that BB's can do put it over the top. And not to mention Im on my 4th one in like 2 months cause it keeps randomly freezing up and restarting.

i have a 3g iphone and i must say i love it. me and the woman were having some problems with the iphone and we looked at switching to verizon since we were still within our 30 days at att. none of the phones at verizon compared to what the iphone can do. the apps are just great. i have a pandora app and just stream music all day at work through my phone. apple was able to fix our problems for us though. i had a problem connecting to the internet so apple looked at it and said they saw alot of errors with the internet so they gave me a new phone, no problems since. my girl had problems with hers dropping alot of calls. same thing, went back to apple and they realized the signal in the phone kept bouncing up and down, gave her a new phone. since then, both our phones have worked great.

you dont realize the convience of the apps until you have them and switch phones. i couldnt find a phone out that could compete with that. only thing that does suck about the iphone is if you have a problem, you have to go to an apple store. then once your at the apple store you have to make an appointment and come back when its your appointment day.

HTC Diamond touch pro. Get sprint service, they have the best data network, I get 3000Kb down and 1200 up..You can also get the employee referral discount if you hunt around for an awesome deal..I never buy apple or mac or whatever, with windows mobile you ave much more flexability and cool little programs you can install.. HTC makes the best cell phones period in my book.

Just saw this as I was going through my Tech RSS Feeds this morning. Review on the G1.

I got my VZW Blackberry Curve about a month ago. No complaints thus far. It's fast and comes with some cool features. Oh yeah...it can send picture messages!
