I'm not sure what the difference between whatever data service the BB Storm
and BB World Phone (8830) on Verizon and the Motorola Droid are, but I
definitely noticed a huge difference in speed both in the OS and the web
browsing after moving to the Droid.  I've heard that with both BB and
Android you can tether your laptop to your phone for internet.  I never
tried it before mainly because it seemed like the internet was always very
slow with the BB, but now I'm considering trying it with the Droid.
