RIM recommended the Bold as the best to compare to an iPhone? Why? RIM needs to go full speed with more advance technologies.

The touch screen was to bring in a new audience and create a fresh look. This is obviously a future RIM will continue to develop.

However, this is why we are so grateful that qwerty keyboards are so mastered by RIM for us texters and e-mailers.

The touch screen is cool and I have the touch for my pc but when it comes down to sending a quick e-mail out or mass text of where to get drinks…..i’m sorry i am forever a keyboard guy.

But I am very very surprised about the rating of 69 out of 100. That really isn’t too far behind the iPhone, which as any apple lover will say is faaaaaaaar superior because of its platform. So superior that people use it to play games and have ants screen saver.

It just goes to show that function and PURPOSE does go pretty far.

The Storm will be an interesting model to keep an eye out over the years to see what RIM will do with the technology and how they can bring something new to the world.

Proof is in the pudding.

I owned one for a very painful 29 days.

The OS is buggy.

The interface is clunky and gets in the way of productive use.

The device was rushed to market for the sake of something other than the benefit of RIM’s customers.

The device is an abject failure on all fronts except aesthetic design. Anything else is just apologist rhetoric.

I hope RIM learns from this.

We were personally blown away that the Storm operates on both CDMA and GSM wireless radios, which would give RIM the flexibility to push the device with any carrier in the US (and most carriers worldwide).

It’s too bad that RIM screwed up so badly with the initial Storm launch. In fact, here’s some hard data: less than 2% of BlackBerry users who have asked about our beta are Storm users (versus roughly 50% Curve).

Now all RIM needs to do is nail the Storm2 and then go to market fast.

Picked up a Storm a couple of months ago and it’s been good to me. Most of the bad press and reviews are from the first batch of last year. People really need to get a grip and try this phone out.

It may not be for everyone but neither is the iPhone.

Give the Storm OS and hardware control back to RIM, add back WiFi, give the option of direct sales from RIM, unbranded and unlocked, of course for a higher unsubsidized price and magically the Storm has something on the iPhone. Still have questions that the Storm was delivered as much less than what we expect from RIM just because it was “rushed” still think much of the Storm’s problems are due to carrier demands and carrier firmware “fixes” in the never ending game of keeping it’s customers locked in it’s walled garden. Even today carrier support of the Storm has been a complete waste, one need not even think past why timely updates were not passed on to see carrier control of hardware and software is not in RIM’s nor anyone else’s best interest.
