They are locked down much more than the iPhone although they have a good following of 3rd party apps.

it looks pretty nice (physically) and feature wise it sounds tempting, but the OS and lack of an app store are what push me away.

I signed up to go to a BB Storm launch party tomorrow night, and it makes me feel kind of dirty lol. But the only reason I signed up was because the Foo fighters are going to be performing there

the storm does look pretty good and I love to try it out but they are saying no wi-fi and that kienda sucks and for the txt pupping out on the screen I love that form the iPhone

I might make the switch and cancel my service with at&t. I can care less about Apps, I want copy and paste, MMS, better service, and cheaper plans with a phone that is as cool looking as the iPhone 3G

I think you mean "much less" than the iphone. The iphone is the most locked down device in the history of devices.

I have never really played around with blackberry phones, but the bit that I did try really didn't like it. The deodorant ball is to small for me and also I'm not good at typing on a phone size keyboard. The storm might be good but I highly doubt that any other phone could match the Touch screen capabilites of the iPhone. The touch screen on the iPhone just works well, Other "Touch Screen" phones need a keyboard or just suck **Cough** Instinct **Cough** I would probably give the G1 a try but I'll buy it when it's unlocked cause I want to be able to switch back and forth with my iPhone.

Im either going to get the Storm or the LG Dare, Right now im paying $104.69 a month with my iPhone 3G if I get Verizon with the same features and a cool phone ill be paying $76.93. Its not a tough choice to make right now.

Don't blame you for that one It's a pretty big difference on the bill and over the two year contracts life, It could make a real difference.
