RIM’s BlackBerry Storm and Apple’s iPhone are two touchscreen smartphones. Although each have their own advantages and disadvantages, looking at the specifics will help you decide which is better for you.

The iPhone OS is quick, responsive and experiences less hang-time and crashes than the Storm, according to CNet. The iPhone also features an impressive, in-depth app store with plenty of free and for-purchase applications to extend the iPhone’s usefulness. With a slightly larger 3.5-inch screen, the iPhone also has Wi-Fi Internet, something the Storm is sorely lacking.

Apple’s iPhone is a mobile phone with two cameras and a touch-screen display. You can use it to watch videos, look at pictures, read books, listen to music, play games and run applications, often referred to as “apps.” The iPhone connects to the Internet over cellular data networks and Wi-Fi, so you can connect to Apple’s iTunes Store and look for apps to download straight to your device. You can also find iPhone apps by using the iTunes application on your computer when it’s connected to the Internet.

Click the App Store icon on the home screen of your iPhone when connected to the Internet via a cellular data network or Wi-Fi.
