[Gizmodo Comments] BlackBerry Storm Review (Verdict: Not Quite a Perfect Storm): No Wi-Fi is a bummer, even with Verizon's fantastic 3G network, 'cause not even it penetrates everywhere. That said, one of the Storm's greatest strengths is Verizon's network, with its basically unbeatable coverage, and you'll get a signal most everywhere that's not a subway, airplane or supervillian secret lair.

[Computerworld Blogs - Mobile & Wireless] BlackBerry Storm vs. iPhone: FIGHT! - Computerworld Blogs: We've seen a good run on hot smartphones being released since the iPhone 3G. The T-Mobile G1 was introduced recently as the first Android-based smartphone and RIM has been releasing Blackberry models every few days, at least that's what it seems like. One of the most anxiously awaited smartphones is the Blackberry Storm as it takes a path RIM has never taken before, and that's to shed the physical keyboard.
[The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)] After the storm: iPhone & the U.K.: I priced the N95 not by comparing the handset prices first, but by contract pricing first - if people are more concerned about monthly costs (as I generally am) then they will price by that way, and never see the price difference between contracts. £110 is a sizeable difference, but it's not the cost of 1 iPhone in savings.

Any GSM coverage around the world not mentioned here is spotty at best according the the GSM world coverage map.

I went home and what I thought would be as easy as sticking in my sim and plugging it in was another story…It took DAYS to set up, and still I was having problems with Mobile Me..which is the driver between your laptop, and the iphone, it would not sync information two ways, which was a nightmare, for example if I put an appointment in my laptop calendar, it pushed it to my iphone…great, but if I put an appointment in my iphone, it didnt push it to my laptop…I could go on for days on how I had to ‘troubleshoot’

My current phone has a terrible, counter-intuitive UI, and so do the actual touch-screen Verizon phones I've tried in the store (not to mention they feel like plastic toys).

He emphasized that any such discussion would be "off the record" and "not for attribution," but he also said that he would not change his public statements in any way because of our meeting -- that is, he would not use anything I told him in a public statement, but he continues to believe I am not allocating my resources appropriately and that I should be prosecuting as many coyotes as I can.
