Blackberry of your choice on Verizon is a reasonable combination. However, when minus is the lack of active sync on the Storm. Cannot connect to our company's server (Outlook) except through web access.
In an area where I had excellent Verizon service I switched to AT&T because of the iPhone. The coverage is awful. So, it is a choice between the phone and the carrier. Would love to have a choice other than AT&T.
