Eric Zeman, my favorite Phonescoop editor after Rich, wrote a fairly cogent article debunking the flame bait put out by CIO magazine comparing the Storm to the iPhone.

Let’s let these two colossi live in relative peace so RIM and iPhone can be the mullet of the phone world: business up front, party in the back.
