Good points also.

You guys are making this tough (I need to blame someone).

Carlos I would go with either the iPhone or Dare for now I think depending on what you are looking for. With the iPhone you have the internet, email, googlemaps, etc.. at your fingertips at all times. The Storm I believe will do the same, but I don't think it will do it as well. There has also been complaints about the force feedback screen as well as some bugs with the first run of the storm. I think most can get fixed with updates (to my knowledge they have not been fixed so far)

If you don't want to switch to ATT then the Dare looks like it would be a nice phone, but will leave you wanting more if you want it as capable as the iphone or storm. I was excited about the Storm when it came out because I could stay with Verizon and still have something that was close to an iPhone. However, the Storm's lack of wifi is a really big turn off for me, even my ipod touch has wifi on it. I think maybe the 2nd Gen. Storm will be good, if they fix the bugs and get some damn wifi capabilities in it.

Joe,
When is that?
I am still pissed at Apple coming out with the new MacBooks shortly after I bought mine.
I would like to see if I can be on the other end of the stick if I were to go with the iPhone.

I think it starts January 5th. Soon!

Though the 99 dollar iphone deal is tough to pass up right now:

I would go for the 16GB.
A $100 savings for refurbished.
I am anal about scratches although I will probably drop it day one.
Anyone ever buy refurbished?

Iphone 3G is the BOMB. Love it. Would not be without it. 3G, touchscreen provides GREAT internet. Photos are very good. And the applications go on and on and continue to bring on new ones. So many a lot free in sooooo many areas. This one puts it over the top. Just ask any 3G iphone user what he/she thinks about it. Game over lol.

Be careful though...if it goes down even for a short period of time, you will go through withdrawal symptoms.
