Go to Verizon wireless and look at the reviews for the storm. Most of the reviews say it sucks. I'm no expert because I don't have one, but we are looking for one and everyone I talk to says the storm sucks for first time BB users. But like I said, I don't know first hand.

The storm is actually better for first time blackberry users because its not the typical blackberry. The blackberry is a much more corporate oriented device where the iphone is more of a gadget device. The storm falls inbetween those two.

The major fault for the Storm is the OS. Which can be better if you are capable of installing leaked OSes.

I'm trying to convince the wife to get an iTouch but she doesn't want to haul around 2 devices. As I said before, she's a stay at home mom, what does she NEED a smart phone for? I'm a professional and I don't carry any phone at all.

I got an iTouch off of CL - it's a good toy. No one needs either an iPhone or iTouch

Do she have internet on her phone plan now? If not, get her the touch. No reason to make your phone bill skyrocket.

Thats my take on it too. The storm is my first blackberry and I have had no problems getting used to it. And I think its less professional based than the curve that my friend just got. I upgraded the OS on my storm within about 6 hours of buying it and have had almost no issues with it. It usually runs smooth and I like it a lot. Only problems Ive had are the memory leak (which doing a quick pull every couple days takes care of) and the not so great battery life. The longest Ive managed to go between charges is about 1.5 or 2 days. I usually just charge it every night while I sleep and it does fine.

eh works for me. Im waiting on the 2nd gen version. Unless something with a similar layout to my glyde shows up with wifi and a java (or android) os. No more of this locked down brew shit.
