notice its the 3g not 3gs

This chart merely says that the S2 is as good as everyone else. I mean besides the 3.2 MP camera (which we all know is nowhere near the quality of the 2.0 MP on the iPhone even with the flash) the differences are minimal at best and hardly worth getting all house proud about over the S2. What a silly chart...Look! All these phones are essentially the same.

That's not a very fair comparison chart. At least add the 3Gs and Bold 2 to it. Not saying the Storm 2 isn't up to snuff, but that's a weak "win".

bold has camera with flash too..

Hey guys, it's Verizon's fact sheet. It's not about comparing apples to apples it's about the perception that their product is better.

They should have added a "multitasking" section and a section mentioning something about "security" if they wanted to make it look a little better.

Double Post

It seems like Verizon does this often. They didn't include the iPhone 3GS and they are comparing a device that hasn't come out yet to devices that have been released 4-12 months ago. And not only that, but they are competing with another BlackBerry! What are they doing?

What's assisted & standalone mean for the GPS?

The only feature anyone cares about is WiFi, an it is not on the list. I have a feeling that Verizon will try to cripple another phone.

Notice how they have tweaked the numbers in their favor. I thought he Bold had a 2.6 inch screen? I believe the iPhone has a 3.6 inch screen. But look how the Storm 2 has an extra digit in it's screen size. They aren't really being honest now are they?

Yeah, there's a difference between "HTML Browser" and "HTML Browser that actually works well, is fast, and slick, like a desktop" (iPhone). If RIM was smart enough to enhance their browser, it might have the edge over all...

The iPhone has a 3.5 inch screen, google it.

Technically the Bold does have OTA music downloads. It uses Napster. Just another false statement. Dies this qualify as false advertising?

As much as I like the storm2, this comparison is total BS. Why does verizon insist on treating us like we are stupid? Not only that, but this comparison basically says "Look guys, all of these phones can do the same things...".

Aditionally, some of the info is wrong or omitted. The pre does not have removable memory. Also as others have mentioned, the storm2 is listed as having a flash, while the bold and pre are not, despite the fact that they have a flash.

Poor show, Verizon, poor show.

Why no "What phone works on the bestest network that starts with a V and ends with a 'erizon"? Then it would be a crushing defeat! Can you hear me now? lol

Yeah. FTW! Not!

There's a Nap for that. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

This comparison chart is geared more towards the general audience who are new to or dont know much about smart phones. Believe it or not, there are people out there who go to a Verizon store not knowing which phone they want but would like certain features. This is obviously not for us the CrackBery Lovers. Just by reading the first few comments above, you can clearly see that we can come up with a way better comparison chart. So verizon, quit the stalling and bring on the Storm 2 (or howver they plan to name it on release date).

...I haven't seen any ads for the Storm 2 anywhere...how do we know that this isn't a hoax to get everyone excited about the Storm 2...I mean, when the Tour came out, it was already on the BlackBerry.com website talking about release dates and what not...why isn't the Storm 2 on Verizon.com, the 21st is practically tomorrow...can anyone, I mean, ANYONE, shine some light for me, because I believe what you say on these blog posts, but I haven't seen any general info...Thanks...

I love how they totally left T-Mobile's myTouch or G1, the Motorola CLIQ out, among many other devices. It's easy to compare when you compare things out of your league.

It's not apples to apples, its more like apples to cherries. There are features the S2 is missing, one that I don't like is the fact that it doesn't have a full keyboard. And, anyone can get OTA music from anywhere these days, that's not even a feature of a phone anymore.

Wifi?

Of course devices were left off. It's a marketing poster. In marketing you pick what yours does better and pick devices that are lower. People read too much into these things.

And, 3G, 3Gs.. it's all the same. With Verizon you'll get REAL 3G coverage just about everywhere, with the iPhone everyone has just gotten used to the poor coverage and stopped complaining about it.

i mean, really really weak, of course its spun to make the S2 look superior to every other high profile device.

Sadly its missing A) 9700 B) 3GS

Oh, and if we just decided to be mean and nasty, it has the 3rd slowest processor on there (3G is 624mhz underclocked to 400) and if it had the latest phones on there, it would be dead last.

Epic f*cking fail VZW

Funny how everyone on Verizon says AT&T's coverage is poor, when I cant even go into the local Wegmans with Verizon and make a call... The area I live in is abundant in population also... Verizon just lacks in certain areas.

Question.. Why is Verizon practically giving away the Storm1 so close to what is being perceived as a near release date for the Storm2? Wouldn't those people just return their old Storms for the new one if inside 30 days?

This sheet is for employees, not for customers, nor will it be in commercials. Who cares if its accurate, just get the phone you want and continue your life

So, we have seen GPS omitted from advertising, but here its back on as Standalone?
We have seen WiFi all over other advertising, here it is omitted?

Is Verizon gonna do us like normal and disable the WiFi and GPS and make us pay for VZNav?

Do not do it Verizon, I want this phone so bad and that would end a long time customers commitment. I have had enough of Verizons propriatary disabling of features...
