Considering buying a smartphone for trading when I'm not
home. I've been told that the blackberry storm has a more
secure platform but has a tendency to lock up. However the
iphone is supposedly a nicer phone to use. Does anyone have
any recommendations or comments. Please send me a PM.
The only problem is you have to use ATT to get the iPhone.
They have terrible coverage. Verizon is supposed to be doing
a deal to get it....was supposed to be early 2010. However,
it looks like it will now be delayed (Verizon and Apple unable to
come to a deal) and TMobile might actually get the iPhone
first. Don't know about their coverage.....but I don't think
anyone beats Verizon.

I have had a storm for the past year I have had minor issues
with a lockup on occasion but with the latest release of the
firmware it has been pretty stable. You may concider getting the
Storm 2 because the processor is faster and it has more
memory. The downfall to me for the Iphone is AT&T I think
their coverage is bad
If you are with Ameritrade they provide an application from a
third party called Istockmanager which works on both the Storm and
Iphone I trade on it all the time when I'm on the road.
