Hey Hauties!
With the release of the Blackberry Storm we are aware that some of you will want to jump on the stylish touchscreen bandwagon started by the iPhone. Every fashionista wants the hautest phone out there and this one was a serious contender…in theory.
But just can’t allow any of you to go down this Stormy road. The Blackberry Storm may resemble an iPhone but it’s perpetrating a fraud!
Even Old Gray Lady knows this. Here’s part of the New York Times’ review by tech writer David Pogue:
I’ve got a better name for it: the BlackBerry Dud.
In short, trying to navigate this thing isn’t just an exercise in frustration — it’s a marathon of frustration.
I haven’t found a soul who tried this machine who wasn’t appalled, baffled or both.
But wait, there’s less. Both of my review Storms had more bugs than a summer picnic. Freezes, abrupt reboots, nonresponsive controls, cosmetic glitches.
Ouch. And we recently popped into a Verizon store just to have a little play with the Storm. We’ve used the iPhone and the Blackberry and can type on both. But this hybrid love child just feels wrong. And annoying. Either go touchscreen or have buttons. But not both.
So stick too you’re stylish iPhones or even the haute Blackberry Bold. But steer clear of this Storm for now.
