RIM's Storm is a Washout
> I have been using a STORM for about a week and a half, and it is
> clearly the most powerful smartphone on the market
Clearly not.: Where's the WiFi? Where's the multi-touch gestural input? Where are the supporting applications and accessories ecosystems? Where's the svelte profile?

> full qwerty or the vert suretype.
Sure, but what you can't choose on the Storm is a quick, sensitive input system. You MUST press the screen to elicit haptic feedback. Unless you do, your input isn't registered. Clunky.
> It is really disturbing to see many reviewers just "follow the herd".
Just because they all see the same problems doesn't mean they're following the herd...
> Do you even care about the 3.2MP autofocus camera?
No. It's kind of silly on a phone with a tiny, low quality, f11 lens.
> The user replaceable battery?
No. I'd rather have the increased reliability and lower weight and bulk of an internal battery.
> The memory card slot for microSD cards?
No. Who cares when you have a device like the iPhone that can have 16 GB of internal storage?
> The enterprise server flexibility?
Like the iPhone's built-in support for MS Exchange Server?
> The robust email system? (All of which are missing
> or weaknesses of the iPhone).
No, they're not. Where have you been?
