    With AT&T you go with your phone any where around the world,verizon don't give you that.
    I only worry about the U.S. and as a former at&t customer I agree that Verizon is better.

    Good points...once you get used to a device, you do get a better handle on it...Verizion is limited to the US

    ...but with the iphone, you get a killer user interface...java enabled web pages...zoom in and out is as easy as pinching your fingers together...to zoom out spread them apart...you get the app store...lots of cool little goodies...free games, utilities...I'm waiting for a scan gage type app...not to mention i-tunes...just downloaded Skype...I can't wait for the new interface this summer...instead of having to get new hardware, you get a free OS revision...It's a well thought out device that is simple to use.

    Htc?

    No one has mentioned HTC....wonder why?
    I'm using an O2 Xda Orbit 2 and love it. Sure, this is UK's O2 wireless rebrand of the HTC Touch Cruise, but it's a "smartphone", GSM quadband, works in the U.S. on AT&T's 3g network, has GPS capability, runs on Windows Mobile OS and does not have a full keyboard but keeps a larger (touch) screen with a simple keypad and navigation wheel thingy.

    HTC has some very cool phones, most are marketed overseas and some don't have the 3g capability in the U.S. unless they are picked up by our U.S. carriers and given a different name. Only ones I found (for AT&T) was the Touch Diamond, Touch Pro and Touch Cruise. Anyways, I'd say keep on eye on HTC and maybe see what they have or will have....depending on needs.

    They arent bad phones I am sure since G1 is made by htc.



    I had a treo that used windows mobile and I hate that OS. maybe was my dumb luck. I love palms OS and would like to try others.. Why i can I not be one of those people that test out gadgets for a living

    Both my parents have the Storm, and (my Opinion) I hated it. I didn't like the fact that you had to "press" the screen to click instead of a simple touch.

    I was a huge follower of the Treo (600, 650 and 2x 680 both copper), But I pre-ordered the HTC G1 Android phone and will prolly never go back to treo until they finally release there new OpenSource OS, not the "webOS" on the new pre. If I'm not mistaken Palm is in a legal battle with Apple because of the Multitouch functions, as well. But I also know that Palm has some against the Iphone too.

    Anyways, back to the Storm. I didn't like the web browser at all and there were way to many bugs on the phone that killed it even more. And again, the "push" to click kinda messes with you when you try clicking a link in the browser as well. But in my case, I'm just used to the simple tap and such on the Treos and G1. Also there was a recent update that fixed most of the bugs and there have been a decent amount of good reviews after the update was added, but it is an unofficial update. I believe 1.1.3 and a leak for 1.1.4 if you search the net...


    uum, I think I got carried away...
