What happens when the efficient menu-driven user experience of the BlackBerry meets the discoverable new user experience of finger-driven touch? The answer for the BlackBerry Storm has been that the BlackBerry experience wins, and who loses depends on what you were expecting from RIM's first departure from a physical keyboard. While adorned with a few on-screen buttons and simple gesture support, the Storm is much less of an iPhone-like experience than, say, the T-Mobile G1.
The Storm's main advantage over other BlackBerry devices is that it has a larger screen, not necessarily one that is controlled by touch. However, to accommodate the removal of its trademark keyboard, RIM has taken touch-screens into a literal new dimension by requiring users to depress the screen to activate a button on the screen, which lowers and springs back like a giant keyboard key.
The screen's ability to respond to presses as a physical button (like the trackpad in Apple's new MacBooks), helps provide a more natural feel to typing on the Storm; the feedback is certainly more satisfying than the solely visual feedback that the iPhone gives. Just because it feels good, though, doesn't mean you should do it.

I have found one extremely annoying change to the 2.2 upgrade. Previously, on 2.1, if I had told the iPhone that when the screen is locked not to display the SMS Preview, all it would say was New Text Message. Now, however, they've changed it. It shows the person's name, and then underneath it “New Text Message”. This is an awful change. The whole point was so that in the case that my phone is hanging around or someone is holding it, they won't know who the text is from or what it says. This totally defeats the purpose because I don't want people reading the text OR knowing who it's from at all…

Podcast features are weak in the upgrade. While you can get newer episodes, if you sync frequntly, the “get more episodes” link only shows you what you've already read. Plus, weakest part here, you only have that option IF you have at least one podcast synced. E.g., I have 30+ podcasts in my subscription list. Today's sync loaded 4 of them. That means I can only check for updates on those 4, not my whole subscription list.Apple chose not to give us any management of our podcast lists, or ability to check for updates for all subscriptions. To me the podcast update feature is a no-feature.

But I don't want to toggle it, as autocorrection really helps typing on the virtual keyboard. I just want the iPhone to properly remember my curse words. Until then, Apple can go to he'll.

You also forgot to mention that when you delete an application, the iPhone asks if you want to rate it before you delete it. Pretty nice touch when there (unfortunately) are very few ratings in the Danish App Store.

I have noticed that the app store now shows multiple screenshots of the applications. I don't think this was there before.

Downloading and Installing the new Firmware
First, you'll need to get the new version of iTunes that was released last night. Next, launch iTunes, and connect your iPhone or iPod touch. Click on your device and select the "Summary" tab and then click "Update." The update will then take a few minutes to download and install.
Maps
If you've ever used the maps application before, then you know how useful it can be. Apple has added cool new features with this update, including Google's Street View service. Street View provides a full 360º view of some streets in the US (this isn't available for every street). To try it out, enter an address in the search field. When it's found, click the head icon in the bubble that appears above the pinpoint. The Maps application has a very cool transition from the 2D map to street view.
In addition to Street View, Maps also includes public transit and walking directions. When you drop a pin to remember a location, Maps can tell you which address it is near. When you drop new pins, you will also have the option to add the address as a contact (a very nice touch, literally). When you view details for a location, or pin, you can now share this location via email. When you click "Share Location," a new email will be generated with a maps.google.com link.
Read on to learn about Safari, iTunes Store, and additional notes.
