I have a storm and I would advise not getting it unless you are capable of reprogramming the OS yourself. It's not that complicated, but it's the only way to get an OS that is even remotely good. The battery and memory leak are both huge issues on it too.

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.
