i don't think this is entirely true, the Storm isn't really a device pointed at apple's iphone. it's a device pointed at blackberry enthusiasts who also want touch screen ability...
regarding chrome, i hate it, but the Storm's is sort of toned-down, so it doesn't bother me too much....chrome is something Apple really digs....
i doubt that the Storm is for those that "...don't NEED a Blackberry...", why would anyone, in their right mind, commit to any kind of contract or spend 530 retail for this device when they don't need it to be a blackberry ?
imo, there are plenty of idiots out there that are itching right this second to go buy the iphone sans contract, dropping upwards of what most ppl are willing to spend for a flat-screen TV !, but for an iphone ? i can see how a Storm is worth 500, but any iphone of any capacity is not worth the money they ask for it. i can use an iphone/ipod touch for a few weeks and then get sick of it (i've done so, i know)....but i can use a blackberry for months and never get sick of it.
