Abstract: The BlackBerry Storm, RIMs first touchscreen handset, brings the business and lifestyle worlds together. It lacks Wi-Fi, but delivers an uncommonly rich out-of-box experience for $199. Highlights include Verizons quick 3G network, the ability to mount ...
Clickable touchscreen, good media functions, fun to use
Unstable firmware, big and heavy
So with that said, we really have to recommend that people hold off before buying a Storm. If you overlook the bugs, which I expect to be fixed soon, then the Storm is by far my favorite BlackBerry device. Its not as good for pure messaging as the Bo...
Abstract: The wait is finally over! Verizon customer's have been enjoying the new Blackberry Storm now for a few days and so far the reviews are mixed. Some either hate it or they love it and some call it the "iPhone killer" and some don't. To start, it has ...

Abstract: This year has seen potentially game-changing devices from HTC, Apple, Samsung and Sony Ericsson, and now it’s the turn of RIM to show us they can do more than just email. The BlackBerry Storm marks a significant first for the company: it’s the only Bl...

Abstract: The ‘iPhone killer’ label (which I hate using – BTW) has been thrown around since the first touch-screen device hit the market after the original iPhone was launched last year. Unfortunately, nothing has been able to live up to the hype. Both consumers...
Abstract: With a whirlwind marketing campaign behind it, the RIM BlackBerry Storm 9530 for Verizon has been a highly anticipated smartphone. Why? This is the first touch screen BlackBerry. Gone is the hardware QWERTY keyboard synonymous with the Berry. Instead...
Abstract: Research In Motion has finally been caught in the whirlwind mobile phone fad of the day and conjured up a Storm of its own to combat the headwinds. The Storm is the first BlackBerry to use a touch screen for input. RIM has done some really innovative...
Big touch screen actually clicks. Fast Internet in the U.S. and abroad. Solid GPS and media players.
Buggy. Interface may be frustrating at first. QWERTY keyboard is difficult to use. Touchy accelerometer. Roxio desktop software is very slow.
The BlackBerry Storm is as big a deal as the iPhone, but our own experience with the device, coupled with widespread media reports of bugs, causes us to wonder whether its ready for prime time....
