The NEW BLACKBERRY STORM- iPhone killer.


We all heard about it. Most of us have probably seen the teaser commercial about it. Now Blackberry is FINALLY giving the public a first hand look at their hottest, sleekest, most unbelievable phone yet, the Blackberry Storm 9500. The Storm is just like a regular Blackberry...but with a 3.2 inch TOUCHSCREEN.


Ohhh yes, if you thought the old Blackberrys were good JUST WAIT until this sucker comes out. Its scheduled to debut in late November, early December right before the holidays on 2 networks, 1. Verizon Wireless, 2. Vodaphone Group PLC which is an overseas company. Verizon's price for the Storm has rumored to be around $199, not bad.


The Blackberry Storm is expected to BLOWOUT sales upon debut, leaving the iPhone in the dust (AT&T service is a joke anyway). Also there have been complaints about the iPhone being "awkward to the touch" because the glass screen's virtual buttons don't give specific tangible feedback to your finger, making the Storm's designer, RIM (Research in Motion) create an ingenius screen that gives upon your touch.


However, you won't have the same ability to play music and movies like you can on the iPhone, but those features will be available through Verizon Wireless' VCast service. But, just for the sake of browsing it destroysss the iPhone, making your finger the actual mouse with the screen distinguishing between light touches and firm presses. A light touch will move your cursor around while a firm press will activate a link.


Other features include a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, automatic screen rotation, 128MB of RAM and 1GB integrated storage, which can be further expanded up to 16GB. The phone will use HSPA for fast, reliable data access but with no sign of Wi-Fi. The Storm will also have CUT, COPY AND PASTE abilities! A feature the iPhone doesnt have.
