Well i have an iPhone and i have used the Storm and for me they are aimed at different markets.

As for size they are are very similar with nothing to choose between them.

My mate that works for Vodafone Business did a weeks training on it. He has an iphone, which he loves, and said it's a very good handset but prefers his iphone still. As has been said though it will all depend on what your main usage of the phone is. I'm out of contract now and am very tempted by an iphone but would have seriously considered the Storm if it wasn't for the omission of WiFi.

Lol I would be still saying it even if it was O2 exclusive. It looks wide as the M600I.

Hi all,

Maybe it is missing WiFi as it's a Network exclusive and that's how the Network wants it. As nice as this is like JC I'm also happy sticking with my Bold.

Does anyone think Vodafone did this deliberately? I read that WiFi on the C905 and X1 are not working...

The Storm has now been delayed until the 14th, Bloody weathermen never get it correct!

Hi !

It seems that the weather forecast was wrong and there will be no Storm today

I was told in the store that there are Storms in Ireland and Scotland only!

Anyone managed to get hold of one? I did play with one instore but only for 5 minutes. Interestingly the whole screen rocks as if it is positioned on a cushion !

Three mega-reviews of the Storm were published a couple of hours ago:

1. Engadget
2. BGR
3. JKReview

Its not all rosy as the Storm seems to fall a little short in the two major areas of T/S interaction and core BB functionality, being bested by the iPhone and Bold.
