I think it's the Blackberry users (or Crackberry addicts) shooting it down, they are the worst possible group to go after for a phone that tries to go toe to toe with the iPhone. All but the most hardcore fans will admit that the iPhone is a crappy phone, but it does so many other things that some people are willing to look past their business requirements. But for others there are checkboxes on the list that are not negotiable regardless of the GeeWhiz factor - WiFi for you, the ability to tether to my laptop without having to hack for me, or a keypad for crackberry addicts. I wonder if the storm would have done better if it was brought out by any other company besides RIM? From the guys I talked to it’s the key click slowing them down.

It looks very interesting, but I'm just not comfortable keeping my iPhone with me on a ride. In a pocket, it gets sweaty and fogged up (I've had problem with moisture getting in the display of some phones) and there's no where to mount it on the bike where it has a view of satellites. I think it makes more sense for a runner that can strap it to his/her arm. I have heard negative things about the Storm as well. While I'd rather have a Verizon phone, the Storm's lack of WiFi was a non-starter for me. I'm curious though about the "keyboard" which seems to be the biggest problem. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the haptic feedback, but more with the fact that you have to press the screen to register a key click. Do you think that that the people dissing the phone are Blackberry users who want a real keyboard or are they non-Blackberry users who just don't like the funky setup? John,
