Storm’s Visual display is way behind to iphone.
BlackBerry Storm is only capable of displaying up to 65,536 colors, much short of the iPhone’s 262,144 colors. You’ll notice the stark difference in contrast of colors and their gradient when browsing the web like ESPN sports photos, CNN, BBC and the high quality photos imported from your PC.

The navigation of Storm lags too much.When you flick through touch screen you clearly feel its a cheap imitation of elegant iPhone. iPhone’s pinch Zoom is amazing.
Storm just brags about MMS. Who needs this obsolete feature when you can do live photo streaming on an iPhone? And email photo with one click.

You can access to internet on iPhone even in Air Plane coz planes are now offering Wi-Fi and iPhone is perfect for that it catches wi-fi even being on Airplane mode.
Storm doesn’t have Wi-Fi so it lacks all the VOIP feature which has become a must have today.
Apart from all these features, there is one more reason why iPhone is way better than any other phone, because its an iPhone.

I think Wi-Fi is a big deal for US but for other countries with a good 3G network maybe not so much. As for features it seems to trounce the iPhone but still isn’t getting as many good reviews, I guess its all about looks and not substance. For a First Gen phone it totally kils the first gen iPhone. I am sure the second Gen will even up the anti. Good first effort!

I don’t know what the big deal with wifi not being on this phone is. With VZ you have to pay for the data plan anyway, which means you have internet access. Where are you going to be that has a wifi signal, but no signal for internet????

Not a killer, come on now the Storm is better in every sence of the word. How can you even compare it to the iphone except that they both have touch screens. This phone is going to crush the iphone.
