I really don't understand all the Storm bashing. I own one, it has higher specs than the iphone, its really easy to use and never craps out on me. I'm with Bell, I have unlimited data, I download podcasts and listen to them straight away, I can sink it with Itunes and the surepress thing is great. I just increased the sensitivity of it in the options and it does exactly what its supposed to. My only qualms about the thing, is that the lock/ unlock button is at the top of the phone which is the most stupid place to put such a button and that it can't do flash yet. The lack of wifi is hardly a problem, I can control my desktop over the net with it like I use to do with my ipod touch over wifi. I gave the ipod away. My Storm works great and does exactly what I ask of it. Even texting just took a week or so to get use to, I text very quickly now. All in all I love the phone, but I must be in the minority I suppose but I don't know why.
I love the Storm too. I think that about 90% of Storm bashers either haven't used it or used it briefly before someone else said, "Hey look at me! I have an iPhone!" and distracted them. It's a great device with great features, and the lack of WiFi is no problem when EVDO rev A is plenty fast. Some people just like to hate for hate's sake, I guess.
Ditto. Another happy Storm user. Would be nice to have Wi-Fi but I'm not sure why everyone is so obsessed with it. Sure it gives faster speed and access to local network resources but personally I'm more concerned about getting access to my data where I DON'T have a Wi-Fi connection...
