Hi Rose,

I bought a Storm for my side business....I absolutely love it. I will also confirm what others have said, no one has better coverage in NH than Verizon.

And yes, the Storm is a must for a weather weenie....

Thanks, Skip. I'll have to go see the appropriate people at work quick as lightning. Hopefully, they won't rain on my parade. If they do, I'll ask "What the hail?"

Sorry...I couldn't resist...Groan.

Does the Storm (or other Blackberries) have wi-fi access? Or are you using your cell carrier for Internet access, even when you are in a wi-fi hotspot?

The Storm does not have wifi. Rumor is in September there will be a new Storm with Wifi.

The Blackberry storm doesn't have Wi-fi. But I'm an IT manager, and I've found it to be a pretty decent iPhone alternative in this area. I have a little netbook that I use for Wi-fi.

A comment on AT&T - while it works in Alton, it's really spotty inside buildings and such right downtown. Still very weak here compared to Verizon.
