    I think I would go iphone over blackberry, the iphone would be easier as you wouldnt require a special blackberry data add-on so you can find the best deals for data, also the blackberry touch interface of the storm has also been said to be lacking, I would say if you want a touch screen blackberry go for the torch, otherwise go iphone.
  • Go for the Blackberry Torch not the Storm 2.
  • try www.techradar.com for reviews of the two. You can also Google comparisons

    I have a BB myself and am not a great fan of Iphones, mostly because the design doesn't appeal, but given one to play with I would probably be converted. However, I hear that lack of signal may be an issue with Iphones (mind you, it may be more to do with the carrier and the geography than the handset, I guess !)

    The Storm has apparently a history of having an unreliable touch screen (like Jayme said). You might like to check the Touch in the BB range, which comes with a Qwerty keyboard and a touch screen, but a bit pricey still at the moment.

    The range of apps is greater with the Iphones.
    Keep calm and carry on

    Never had an Iphone but got a touch and I love it, I have a BB storm and I hate it, come next April when the contract ends it's going. I think it's the touch screen that really iratates me, and every now and again it doesn't work properly.
