The Storm sucks big fat donkey balls, so it's good he can admit the truth. Note I was debating your assertion of "vastly superior", not that the "iphone sucks compared to the competition"... but thanks for polarizing the debate. My point is that there really isn't anything that makes the iphone "vastly superior" and I don't think you can say that until you've tried another smart phone (that isn't the Storm). I'm not just hating on it because it's an Apple product, I think it does things well but has equals with varying pluses and minuses in the market.... just like the laptops.
Here's a review, from someone well known in the industry, that says they would be happy with either an iphone or a bold.

My iphone anecdote:
I was in a meeting with an iphone user and I wanted to send him that porn movie flow chart. I sent it as an MMS but he couldn't get his authentication right to view the picture after clicking the link (since they don't have real MMS). In response I sent him the image URL as a text but he couldn't get to that either since it wasn't a hot link and he couldn't copy and paste. So I had to send it as an email so he could view it. That's some superiority. :roll:

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
