Price at time of review.
Vodafone's grabbed itself an exclusive on the Blackberry Storm, but is it an exclusive that was worth it? We've unpacked a Blackberry Storm and given it a quick spin, and comparison with the iPhone 3G - here's our initial impressions.

 I have an iPhone 3G. I like the touch interface and features plus the ability to add extra apps of my choice.
I know people use their phones as mini-pc but really on a 3.5" screen? So lack of wifi may not be killer for people who want a phone not a pc
iPhone downsides that competitors should pick up on are
1. Battery life
I find it ok but it well below competition and battery is not swappable/replaceable
2. Camera - I find the 2megapixel camera in iPhone woeful - esp compared to the 5M in the Nokia N95 I have - let alone vs a digital camera

A hugely likeable phone that excels at web browsing and manages to just live up to its ambitious name.

The HTC Magic, available through Vodafone and Three in Australia, may be the second Android phone but it's the first worth considering.

Sumptuous design, a fantastic screen and a high-quality feel. Not as easy to use as an iPhone, but far more powerful
