I do agree that based on articles all over, it seems the Storm is quite an interesting device. I personally would be interested in the Bold instead since I MUST have a keyboard and have no interest in a touch smartphone. Had the iPhone supported wireless keyboards, I may consider getting it. I think the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 may be quite a device, although it's way too expensive. I'm drooling over that one. If the Storm doesn’t have Wi-Fi, I can’t see it being the iPhone killer.

Heck, maybe the Blackberry Storm WILL be an iPhone and G-1 killer. I just don't think the "killer" title is backed by any evidence short of concluding that because it does email well that enterprise customers will flock to it. Heck, someone could have called the whole Moto Q and Samsung Blackjack line of smartphones "killers" before they were released. After they came out everybody saw the battery life was awful and nearly every business that I come in contact with them cannot wait to throw them out. It's just not wise in my opinion to pronounce anything a "killer" (which truthfully hardly ever comes true) before you get an idea of how it performs in the field. Just my .02 The author had used an iPhone for 3 months.

Has the author even handled an iPhone? I could write a dozen reasons why the Storm is better matched against the iPhone in enterprise, and not one of those would be what that author listed. He clearly has an insanely high opinion of RIM. Yea, that article was insanely biased. Has the author even handled an iPhone?

I also love the term "iPhone Killer". It's the mantra of 2008/2009 and yet Apple sold more iPhones this Quarter than all the devices RIM sold combined and the G1 seems to be doing very well at this point too. So unless RIM does a much bigger push into the consumer space and expands beyond N.A. I'm not aure how this will be an iPhone killer or even a G1 killer.
