The BlackBerry Storm has been said to go from free to $999.99! If it is coming out soon, how much will it really be?

The word is that Vodafone UK is offering the BlackBerry Storm for free along with a contract. Will Verizon Wireless do the same here in the U.S. when it is released?

According to Wired's Gadget Lab, the problems with the iPhone's 3G performance is all about the network. This is based on a (decidedly) unscientific study of 4,200 iPhone 3G users around the world, which they published on Monday. Besides the fact that this spreads the sample in any particular area pretty thin, worldwide as the survey was, there's one thing I would love to see that wasn't done with this survey. More on that later.

The finger-pointing has begun. Much has been made over the iPhone's 3G connectivity issues on AT&T's network, and some (including me) have pointed to the fact that AT&T's 3G network performance isn't exactly stellar. Of course, that doesn't mean it's still not an Apple issue.
T-Mobile, on the other hand, made no bones about it: the issue lies with the iPhone 3G itself, either in software or hardware.

Last week's spectacular BlackBerry outage has given Vodafone a great idea to lure customers: on Monday it announced a deal with The Neverfail Group to prevent further BlackBerry outages.
