A couple weeks ago I got the urge and went out and got an iPhone thinking maybe all of Zypes could switch over and it would be a great idea to know firsthand how to support them. Here are my impressions and remember this is compared to my Blackberry Storm with Verizon.

When the Blackberry Storm came out I had this plan to be at the store 1 hour before they opened to make sure I got my Blackberry.  Well I ended up missing my alarm clock, sleeping in and frantically speeding to the store with my rader detector on.  I was not going to miss my chance to get my Blackberry Storm.  I got there and to my relief the girl told me they had plenty in stock.  My first impress was this thing is so cool looking but how do I use it.  I tried making a phone call and looking up someone's name in the address book and It was not intuitive.  And then I tried to type on the screen and that was just not working for me.
