iPhone, G1 or Blackberry Storm?

[spearace]

It's about time I upgraded my phone, but three phone catch my eye at the moment. The iPhone, G1 or Blackberry Storm all seem quite similar, and have web browsing apps (which is what I need)... but I can't decide which one to go for.

I've had a go on the Apple iPhone already and was impressed, but I've not seen or tried the other two options. Once the G1 arrives in T-Mobile stores I'll give it a go, but I'd be interested in opinions of users from the US that might have already tried them

Add the Sony Xperia X1 to that list too

It's out any time now, and looks like it could be good. It's based on Windows Mobile which might be a good or bad thing depending on what you are using it for. The built in IE browser is rubbish from what I remember, but the Opera Mobile browser is almost as good as the iPhone Safari one

I've spend all day on youtube watching video reviews of all the phones listed above, and it has to be the iPhone. The Sony X1 comes in a close second, but Windows Mobile 6.1 looks too slow and clunky

Plus, the iPhone can run some decent 3D games

I went into an o2 shop yesterday (a UK mobile phone store), and upgraded to the iPhone 3g. Did you go for one in the end too, spearace?

I tried out a Blackberry in the shop, but I don't know if it was the Storm version - and I still liked the iPhone better. I couldn't see any X1 there though which was a shame!

I'll have to start an iPhone/iPod Touch apps thread

Not yet, but I might get one this weekend now that I've been paid. It looks like if I go for the £45/month contract I get a free iPhone, but I can then downgrade to the £35/month plan after 9 months. Oddly, this saves money because there's no initial purchase price!

Ah crap, I went for the £35 package straight away and had to pay up front for the phone. :banghead:

Not much in it I suppose - oh well, lesson learned!
