A Stormy Mobility Today Podcast #133

The iPhone may not be a quality business class device, but by supporting Exchange Dave, Apple is definitely going after that market and touting the iPhone a business class capable. A comparison against the iPhone would be prudent.

The bottom line is that the Storm is everything the iPhone and WM platform should be, but aren't. Storm is innovative squared but captures all the functionality and features currently available with current competitors. WiFi radio not withstanding.

Ok I understand. I tried out the Storm today. I was not too impressed with the way you have to type. You really have to press the screen in to get it to type. I would be really worried about that if I had one.

If I write 1000 to 1500 text messages a months, and 400 to 500 emails a month, I'm going to estimate that I will be pressing that screen in over 200,000 times a month. Which means that in a 5 month period, I would have pressed that screen in about 1,000,000 times. Give or take a couple of 100,000 clicks.

I don't know how durable that little click button behind the screen will be.

I also had a hard time with pressing the wrong letters sometimes. This was in landscape mode. I kept trying to press the R key and always wound up entering a T. Very frustrating. I swore my thumb was right over the R.

I was tempted to switch over to Verizon for this device, until I played around with it today.

Deemota the iPhone isnt in the same class as the Blackberry to me. I still do not classify it being a business class device. Windows Mobile is a pure business class device.

I'm curious to know why you put it up against another Blackberry and 3 WinMo phones, but not the iPhone????
