I have a Storm - it ABSOLUTELY BLOWS. Not even _close_ to an iPhone. Have no choice though since Verizon is the only carrier here. The Storm uses a hodge-podge of different interfaces depending on the app... the touchscreen sucks (like - you can't even type on it... pretty sad for a BLACKBERRY) and the operation is spotty, at best. How anyone could call it "the best business handset" - baloney. All that said - I decided to keep it, as Verizon doesn't have anything better - their phones suck generally. RE: The Storm….
