I just got the BB Storm and I love it. There is a real learning curve to using a touch screen. I will admit that RIM released it before all the bugs were worked out, but OS updates are beginning to come out. It all depends on what you want to use it for and how much you want to pay. For me, I need the email access that the BB affords. It also plays video and MP3s. It costs less than the I phone and the monthly service plan costs less as well. I suggest waiting a month or two to get the Storm. Here is a great article that compares the two side by side.
