A Storm is coming, but it may not be very good

VZW appears set to announce the BlackBerry Storm tomorrow, but a ninja says the device isn't all that it's cracked up to be...

I don't agree with Phonearena, it's like phonearena jumped on the banwagon of the ninja's review. What did he really reviewm he talked about how he didn't like the fact that you have to hightlight and press the buttton. I like that actually because then I don't have to worry about hitting buttons by mistake. He didn't go threw any applications, programs, nothing. He just talked about the screen. Second, how do we know what version he has and how old it is? We don't!! That model for all we know can be like a month old and not have any updates "remember it is in testing"!!!

I still say it's something that is to look forward too.

Verizon downgraded the camera on the HTC Coke (crack? anybody, aka CDMA Pro) to a 2.0 MP camera. WTF is wrong with them? Atleast Sprint left the 3.2 MP camera on the diamond intact. And what is with pushing the screen too hard on the Thunder? On a blackberry for crying out loud. How many ppl are gonna head over to the chiropractor's for broken fingers?

I'm very disappointed in PhoneArena. I can't believe they would say the Storm may not be good without having tried it. You can say it sucks or its awesome after you've tried it. WOW.

theyre passing on a review, and flat out say they will reserve their own judgment until they use it themselves. theyre a news organization and they are reporting on what little news we have of this device. im sure if there was a video review where someone raved over it they would be reporting that too.

I still can't believe how many people still talk about the iphone lol... seriously though, it sickens me.. The storm has a lifetime exclusivity clause to Verizon Wireless written into the contract that RIM signed with VZW, the clause also states that if in the first quarter of release (first 3 months for you iphone dummies) a certain number of phones are not sold, the exclusivity is lifted. I highly doubt that VZW will have a problem meeting that number though.

I also take that ninja kid video with a grain of salt, 1. if you read his other blogs he is obviously a Blackberry hater, and 2. it wasnt too technically sound... Uh yeah I dont like it, you have to like press the screen and that means Im probably going to break the screen and uh yeah I just dont like it.... Oh really COOL! I guess he saved consumer reports and any other legitimate company who tests these devices from doing so... Phew I bet they are happy! HA HA HA! Im not saying the phone is going to be amazing, Im not saying that everyone and their mother are going to want it, and Im not saying that Verizon Wireless absolutely knows what they are doing, no wonder they are number1 in the US, and Gosh Im definitely not saying that RIM put together a solid touchscreen blackberry to compete with the other touchscreen phones... I wouldnt want to count my chickens before they hatch...

The video was taken down from youtube, but I found it here: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/blackberry-thunder-caught-on-video/

Anyway, people have gripes about not having physical feedback when typing on touchscreens. If this button pressing thing works well, it could be very successful.
