RIM BlackBerry Storm (Verizon Wireless)
Editors' rating: 3.5
The good: The RIM BlackBerry Storm features an innovative touch screen that provides tactile feedback to confirm your selection. The Storm offers dual-mode functionality for world-roaming capabilities as well as EV-DO Rev. A and UMTS/HSDPA support. Other highlights include GPS and a 3.2-megapixel camera.
The bad: The Storm's SurePress touch screen takes some acclimation, and the onscreen keyboard is a bit cramped. The smartphone can be sluggish, particularly the accelerometer and multimedia applications. Speakerphone quality was a bit choppy.
The bottom line: The RIM BlackBerry Storm may blow in a frenzy for Verizon Wireless subscribers wanting a touch screen similar to the Apple iPhone. However, die-hard texters, e-mailers, and corporate users may be better served with the BlackBerry Bold or other QWERTY device.
