AT&T must be feeling a little heat from Verizon’s announcement of the first touch screen BlackBerry “Storm”. AT&T has released an internal document that outlines what the iPhone does that the Storm doesn’t. Here’s why they say the iPhone is so much better than the Storm:

- The iPhone uses multi-touch technology / Storm uses haptic feedback technology
- iPhone was Wi-Fi / Storm doesn’t
- iPhone has an app store / Storm doesn’t (maybe coming soon?)
- iPhone syncs with iTunes / Storm will be able too but not as well?
- iPhone users Safari for browsing / Storm uses RIM’s browser
- iPhone is GSM/3G / Storm is CDMA/GSM/Dual band HSDPA

Boy Genius decided it would be fun to compare take both the BlackBerry Bold and Apple iPhone browsers head to head. In case you don't know the Bold does feature a full HTML web browser similar to the iPhone, even though it doesn't have a touch screen.

Rogers must have felt the pain when 50,000+ Canadian's signed a petition against their iPhone data pricing. Well Rogers today announced special launch promotions for the iPhone. Select Rogers Plus stores will be opening at 8AM to offer the iPhone, but the best part out of all of this news…. Rogers will be offering a special data plan for the iPhone up until August 31, 2008. 

The special data plan will be $30 a month and will offer 6GB of data! yes that's right 6GB. That's a whole lot of browsing. Now the best part is apparently this offer will be offered to 3G smartphones inlcuding the upcoming BlackBerry Bold. Also apparently Fido will be offering this amazing plan as well.

OH SNAP! Rumor has it that Apple is mad at Rogers for screwing Canadian's with high data prices. You may have heard of RuniediPhone.com, which is gathering signatures for a petition againest Rogers and the iPhone 3G pricing in Canada. Currently the petition is nearing 50,000 signatures! If you haven't signed it please head over to the site and SIGN IT. The other rumor in this story is that Apple has diverted a large amount of the iPhone stock heading for Canada to the UK because of this negative backlash. 

Seems we missed a posting a story provided by our friends over at OtterBox. OtterBox is supporting the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade by donating 10% of every pink iPhone or iPod nano case purchased. Unfortunantly they don't have any pink Otterbox cases for the BlackBerry at this time but if you own a iPhone or iPod nano its a great cause. You can find the details out here. 

While usually we only cover BlackBerry news on the site this post is special. Apple has announced their upgraded iPhone featuring 3G and GPS. Apple also announced the new price tag of their 3G iPhone's. The 8GB version will ring in at only $199 everywhere (meaning $199USD or $199CAD) of course with a contract. AT&T will continue to be the exclusive carrier in the United States and looks like both Rogers and Fido will have it in Canada.

Now with all this iPhone talk how long before carriers release the BlackBerry Bold and RIM introduces the BlackBerry Thunder?  

To continue with all the BlackBerry Bold previews. The iPhone Blog has got their hands on CrackBerry's BlackBerry Bold and compared it to the Apple iPhone. The video is just under 10 minutes long and shows lots of comparisons.

Apparently RIM has an internal posting for a developer with knowledge of Apple's iPhone. We aren't too sure what this means yet. Either RIM is looking to hire a developer to develop a touchscreen BlackBerry to take on the iPhone or they might bring BlackBerry Connect to the iPhone…

We aren't too sure yet but hopefully we will get more details soon.
