The Storm is quite eye-catching in its own right. I like the slim profile, the glossy finish, and the solid feeling in the hand. I'll even call this round a tie.
3

The Storm is unlike any other BlackBerry we've seen, and there's no doubt the smartphone's display grabs your attention with its sharpness and vibrancy. However, it's on the bulky and heavy side, which is a bit of a turnoff.
4

The Storm is BlackBerry's sexiest phone to date, with its bright, vibrant screen and sleek design.

The iPhone will always win points for its clean lines, trim design, and uncluttered controls.
4

I have a tendency to shun anything that becomes too trendy or popular, but even so, I can't deny the allure of the iPhone. It's slim and simple in design, and that's sexy to me. As they say, less is more.
5

The iPhone is still the top dawg. Show me something hotter.
