Well since I might not be getting my free 8900 Ive decided to purchase a new phone tmrw (my G1 was stolen last month). T-Mo is one of my jobs and I kind of like having something diff. I switch phones every couple of months and had an Apple once and Ive also had plenty of BB's soooooooo if anyone has any suggestions or experience Id appreciate it. I am looking at probably getting this tmrw or by this wknd for sure.

I like that the BB has stereo bluetooth but the no Wifi thing is kind of irritating. And vice versa for Apple.

I guess it just depends on what you think you would use the most.....stereo bluetooth or wifi.

Though if you like to have something "different", well, I would say that there are probably more people out there with iphone 3g's than there are people with storms.  Though I've seen plenty of each around here.

It really depends on what you want in the phone. I would pick the iPhone 3G even though you can't use 3G its a really nice device. For the Bluetooth problem there is already an app in Cydia called iBluetooth that lets you use Bluetooth file tranfer and A2DP. The iPhone has a really nice design. I'm not saying the Storm ugly I just prefer the iPhone design.

I'd take the iPhone. The Storm is a bag of hurt.

with the storm, youll lack 3g...AND wifi...so youll always be using a snail regardless of where you are...awith the iphone, youll lack 3g, but you can get on wifi...and in dallas, im sure you can find quite a bit of wifi.

Yea I was surprised they didn't include WiFi. If they really wanted to compete with the iPhone I would think they would at least have WiFi connectivity.

Yea but there are rumors going around that this June or July there will be 2 new iPhones released and a new iPod Touch.
I'm guessing 1 of the two new iPhones will be for the people looking for an affordable iPhone and the other one improving on the features of the 3G.

Well Ive been using the Storm and there are some things I really like about it. Im not locked into a contract with it so Im gonna roll with it for a while and if I get tired of it I can always just sell it off and get something else.

The GSM Storm (9500) does not have Wi-Fi.
