Most UK contracts do not even say how much it costs - only advertise free x number of minutes and free x number of texts (nothing about internet browsing via 3g).

The Samsung Omnia 2 seems to do all and, more to the point, much more than this handset can hope to manage. Omnia now has a specific work/ life profile. Omnia also has overtaken Storm on the screen and highly customised Winmo which now makes it useable and without a stylus. So the question is why should disatisfied Storm 1 owners, or prudent buyers given RIM a change. We have been conned once, and despite requests even the camera on Storm 2 remains about as basic as you could get. Rim are riding their reputation which is slipping faster than a draining battery on a Storm.

Wifi is several times quicker than 3G and to not have it is bad business sense. Not to mention most wifi hotspots are free or very low cost or free at home using your own router. Why use up minutes on your contract for slower connection. There's no getting round it - no excuse for no wifi. Only reason BB didn't include it was because they wanted to make the handset cheaper. They've also finally realised that users do demand wifi on a high end smart phone hence they are including it in their next Storm handset due out end of the year (too late in my opinion). Unfortunately they seem a bit behind the times and need to catch up with the likes of HTC / Samsung etc.

Anonymous, 16 Jul 2009can anyone tell me about battery lifetime on this phoneIt will just about squeeze a working day, with 3 calls and 6 sms, then it will go critical and fade. Depends on signal and settings. I would look elsewhere unless you can get a spare battery and keep it charged.

With Omnia 2 about to enter the fray, RIM need to make sure that Storm 2 works properly, (unlike Storm 1), offer decent features, by that I mean the camera, menues and some originality and get the thing to the stores with no delay.

Angliaranger, 30 Jun 2009Hi Lee,
Thanks on the feedback for Storm. Could you please elaborate what are the 'many' th... moreStorm has applications that make it more flexible and user friendly. Blackberry Unite is a brilliant product, allowing up to 5 Blackberry handsets to communicate and transfer data with a remote computer.
Storm has the best security of all handsets available and is certified by the Department of Defense (in Australia anyway and the US.)
Straight out of the box it will let you do MMS, cut copy and paste, e-mail sync with any OS, Blackberry handsets have miniscule data usage compared to the very data hungry iPhone, 10 e-mail account sync that can be controlled via internet or handset and it also does have better battery life than the iPhone.
Sure iPhone has apps and software updates, but half the apps are pointless user created junk, the good apps (facebook etc) are built into the Storm.
Don't waste your time with an iPhone...very well marketed but severely underperforming machine.
