Damn comment editor cut me off
The Storm is worth its weight in gold. Also, I will be converting mine into a PIPboy soon(tm).
I have also used a company-issued iphone for the past 18 months. The Apple thinking of having to hold the unit up-right for the main view is absolutely absurd. Also, the phone is too sensitive, often mis-dialing numbers while simply scrolling through my 'recents' list. Makes for a wonderful conversation the next morning with the boss as to why I called him at 1AM.
You can also only delete ALL of the phone-log and not single entries. Mis-dial 1 number, and it's stuck there til you wipe 'em all. Then have to explain to the GF why your phone list is blank, and what you're trying to hide.
I've used an Android, but I'm not impressed. I have no need for applications I'll never use.
I have played with the Storm II, but I don't like how they moved the 'phone/blackberry/back/hangup' buttons to be on-screen and not independent.
I'm awaiting the Windows phone to haxx0r it.
Apple is all hype. I can name 20 people whom have bought the iPhone because they are Apple fanbois / gurls (sympathizers); I have found nearer to 50 whom have bought an iPhone because they want to be hip and cool like everyone else, and consequently will never use any of the 'applications' they claim was the reason they purchased it for - even if they could ever figure out in the first place.
Apple = hype, unreliable, fast downloads when possible.
Blackberry Storm = very useful, reliable, dependable.
Droid / Android = versatile, extra stuff I know I'll never use.
Windows Phone = I'm a fanboy. If it can be haxx0red to run Windows Programs (IE, Basic, C++ Compiler) - I'll be happy.
HTC = ? never used one.
