So, we’ve field tested both the Storm and Bold in our IT department. As a matter fact, I’m posting this very topic from outside a grocery store on my Bold while the wife picks up a few odds and ends. We’ve had at least 4 Storms issued out and a few Bolds for a several weeks for test drives. The Winner? Bold – hands down. Storm is slower both on the local system itself and Verizon’s data network is notably slower than AT&T’s 3G network (at least in Tulsa and Houston anyway). The only noted downside to Bold from my perspective is the battery life gives you no mercy for forgetting to charge overnight, but I’m holding out for a Gen 2 battery sometime soon. Other than that, it’s local operations are way fast, 3G rocks and the display is pretty sweet too. The storm just didn’t cut it for what Corporate America expects from a business PDA. In the end, it seems Bold weathered the Storm.
