I own both BB storm and iPhone and can say without doubt (in my personal opinion however of course) that the iPhone has it beat hands down.
p.s: @drjay868 - Your list of things the BB can do that iPhone can't is very poor, flash is useless on a phone camera, i personally never use phone cameras anyway, they're a novelty, and for someone who spends time reading the latest technological news on a site such as this i'm surprised you think the iPhone still doesn't have MMS lol, it was including in the 3.0 update (the best thing about the iPhone, firmware updates - everything people whine about shall come along at some point or another, and most things people complain about have already become avaliable using a jailbroken phone, for example i've had mms and a camcorder along with a host of other things not included in the official firmware on my iphone since i bought it some 2 years ago). BB users are a little pathetic, they always label anyone who has something good to say about the iPhone, 'fanboys', i was never a fan of apple in fact, but they've created something that is simply just better, get over it.
One further point, the iPhone's variety of applications isn't due to the fact that it's been around for a year (not two), it's down to the fact that apple created the app store as we know it, great original ideas tend to become huge, which it did, and as a result there are mass amounts of applications avaliable. A further problem BB faces is that replicating an original idea never produces the same results, i don't doubt that there won't be plenty of applications avaliable to BB users, but it well never be the app store, apple is one step ahead of the game, that's just the way it is, and that's why everyone is an apple fanboy in your eyes.
@boreddrummer Read my posts again. I clearly said that I know the lack of MMS is temporary (the phone has it but the network can't/doesn't support it). And until the network can/does, I don't count it as being able to do it. Also, I clearly said that I was talking about an OUT OF BOX phone, NOT JAILBROKEN.
Just because you don't use the camera, doesn't mean other people don't. I do, as do MANY others. Same goes for the flash.
I don't call everyone with something good to say about the iPhone a fanboi, only those that make a blanket statement without reasoning, especially when said statement is wrong. Outside of 3rd party apps, jailbroken phones, and WiFi... what can an out of the box iPhone do that an out of the box BB can't?
I actually like the iPhone. I use my gf's all the time for apps that aren't available to BB... YET. I would have had one long ago if it were available on Verizon. When it became time to switch to a smart phone, BB was the best option for me. Now that I have one, I actually do prefer it over the iPhone, but I still like the iPhone.
And don't kid yourself... some iPhone users are just as pathetic as some BB users. Especially the ones who think that just because something is an original idea, it can't be improved upon or surpassed. And outside of the app store, exactly what part of the iPhone is an original idea? Touch screen? I don't think so. Smart phone? I don't think so. A phone made by Apple? OK, fine. Great.
The device is aimed at gamers and TV watchers, generating a 3D image with use of a pair of 0.7-inch OLED panels, which each display separate images, doing away with the ghost imagery that often comes along with 3D displays.
