iPhone vs. Storm

Hi again,

Recently i have found myself explaining my opinion on what's a better smart phone for our generation. Both phones are exceptionally well made and innovative but one takes the new telephony industry by storm. My answer is always the iPhone, but the Storm is no less than exceptional.
The reason the iPhone is so great is mainly because Apple's fine job on hold their software from other publishers. Being the first smartphone of our generation, it deserve the award. Its customizability and recent price drop makes the brand new 3G no match for competition. You can do practically anything on this phone. Play innovative games and browse the web for a cost wherever you go or just through simple Wi-Fi. One thing that distinguishes the iPhone from other brands is the smooth scrolling and double-touch capabilities. Being able to maximize photos to however it pleases me is very reasuring. The scrolling on the iPhone is also a great win for Apple. They made the physics of the scrolling so great it has barely any lag issues. You know that when you get bored you just love to swipe your finger as fast as possible across the screen to see what happens. But enough about the iPhone, what about the Storm?
The Blackberry Storm first captivated me with its famous clickable screen. The problem I found with the Storm is attempting to find more options for a setting. I'm not completely qualified to explain the Storm because my use of it is very limited. However in the end, iPhone dominates the industry with its easy-to use interface and simply for being a great phone.

What happens when you're on hold for too long.

Hi guys,

So you know when you have a problem about your service and you really need that customer service. Well whats more annoying than incompetent bad cs representatives? That infamous hold option. You know the time when they are trying to direct you for help. Well after staying for about an hour and a half on hold for a simple, "Why is that amount on my bill?" question you get bored. What did i do? I started singing. Trying to hone those fail music skills everyone thinks are purely amazing. So I'm on hold for about an hour and 15 minutes and i start singing to Hey Jude - Across the Universe Soundtrack/The Beatles. Well in the middle of the song and me singing to it, the representative answers at the worst possible time. Here comes the irony. Her name was Jade. Well that pretty much made my day except for the fact that she was still laughing after I had solved my problem. That concludes my first blog. Hmm.
