Should I buy a G1 phone or a Blackberry Storm?

Question

To me the storm is exactly alike to the IPHONE, while the G1 has a keyboard .

But which one is better

Answer 1

Storm is a cheap imitation of legendary iPhone. And G1 is ugly and bulky.

Storm can display only 56,000 color while iPhone displays over 200,000 colors that makes iPhone graphics vibrant and alive.



iPhone has immaculate VoIP capability and Storm has none.

Storm doesn't have Wi-Fi so you wont have access to your computer , printer and Wi-Fi based speakers.



I control my printer and 9 speakers in my home from my iPhone you cant do this from Storm.

The touch screen of Storm is jagged,slow and poky.

G1 is total no no if you wanna stick with Blackberry then go for Bold otherwise iPhone is best choice and it's still the most advance phone on the planet.



Storm brags about MMS. iPhone a better thing than rotten feature MMS. You can do live photo streaming on iPhone.



Apple app store has over 6,000 wonderful apps Black berry and G1 have hardly any app worth mentioning.



And yes, you can access internet in an Airplane from iPhone but you cant use storm in the plane.



No wonder why iPhone is highest selling phone in US and it became 1st choice for business user. I am SAP consultant and iPhone is the only phone that has SAP application though that app costs over $400 but its worth it.



People say iPhone doesnt have Copy and paste I pity on them. iPhone has one app called Magic Pad it does have cut,copy and paste and its better than Storm.



One very important practical problem in storm is typing: when you type in Storm the letter goes blue but you can't see what are you typing. In iphone the letter gets bigger above your finger so you can clearly see what are you typing.



Hats off to the designer and developer of iPhone they took care of every little things.

Answer 2

Since everyone here either misinformed you or was just plain wrong about the G1, let me prop it up a little.



Yes, it's a little big and it's not sleek and sexy like the others. I just dumped a Blackberry Pearl for the G1, and that was a pretty sleek phone, if you want to force yourself to use Outlook or some other Windows crap software to sync you phone.



Here's what the G1 has: total integration with Google. You need a Google account to set the phone up (you can set one up on the phone when you start it for the first time, but you aren't FORCED to use the Google apps). But if you have an account, your mail, contacts and calendar are all synced with your on-line account...no need to buy expensive software or be married to Windows.



The Internet access includes browsing with the Chrome browser (and the Opera mini browser was just released for the G1). The browser is fast and the resolution is fantastic.



The G1 uses the T-Mobile 3G network (rolling out acroos the nation, now in most major cities), along with Edge and GSM. The phone also has Wi-Fi capability and the T-Mobile data plan includes free use of T-Mobile Hot Spots all over the world (there's an app to find them, too).



The phone is fully touch, the screen image flips to wide mode when you open the keyboard, the keyboard is full QWERTY (much easier than my old multi-keypress Blackberry Pearl), has a 3mp camera with autofocus, media player (plays ogg files, too), Bluetooth, MicroSDHC media card slot (works with up to 16GB cards).



I've used the phone in both 3G and Edge networks, and it's very speedy on both.



One responder mentioned all the apps the iPhone has. Admittedly, this is true, but the iPhone has been on the street for 17 months. The G1 was released in October. The development world is spinning up rapidly, and I'm betting that the Android Market will be chock full of great apps in no time.



That's the other thing that attracted me to the G1. Google developed the Android system for open source development. Anyone can create an app and make it available through the Android Market, unlike Apple, which restricts applications and requires approval before making something available on the store. The Android system uses a Linux kernel at its core, which means the system can be embedded in a variety of devices. If you like to hack with your tech, this is a perfect phone for doing that.



I've had mine for a week or so, and I'm loving it more each day. Give it some consideration.

Answer 3

The blackberry storm is touchscreen however, much easier to text than with an Iphone because of the querty keybad... G1 is kind of bulky and not as stylish....Storm has a 3.2 MP camera and very high screen resoloution. It is also expandable to 16 GB for you to store all of your media... The G1, not so impressive....

Answer 4

My friend has the G1 and it seems quite uncomfortable when she uses it. So I would recommend the blackberry storm. It is much nicer anyhow. Also looks much more Professional which is a bonus.

Answer 5

you're finding at thoroughly distinctive cellular centers right here. t-cellular vs. at&t vs. verizon. look into the charges. The blackberry is and could stay a telephone geared in the direction of the workplace. The I-telephone keeps to be the sleekest touch telephone obtainable. i for my area think of the G1 seems extensive, and unsightly... I genuinely have a blackberry, and do think of they are astonishing, and am great excited relating to the hurricane, although upset that it's not for t-mo. i think of for best schoolers the iphone continues to be a thank you to flow. yet nevertheless rather high priced.
