Phone Scoop
If you're a business user who needs a BlackBerry for its tight integration with business software and services, the Storm could be the phone for you

Eric M. Zeman from Phone Scoop ( over 2 years ago )

N/A

From a distance, there is little to set the Storm apart from the increasingly crowded field of touch-based devices. It's black and has gray and silver accents. RIM did not stretch any design boundaries here. It is sophisticated and elegant, but not unique.

Engadget Mobile
RIM tried to strike some middle ground between form and function, and unfortunately came up short on both

Joshua Topolsky from Engadget Mobile ( over 3 years ago )

N/A

It's clear from the device itself and the massive promotional push that both RIM and Verizon are giving the Storm that they view this as a proper threat to the iPhone's dominance in the smartphone market. Over the last few weeks we've been bombarded with commercials, leaks, press releases, and special... More

Designed to satisfy the needs of both consumers and business customers, the BlackBerry Storm smartphone offers a revolutionary touchscreen that dramatically enhances the touch interface and enables easy and precise typing.
