We’re getting close. The most innovative BlackBerry to date, the BlackBerry Storm, is coming out within the next month. I am sure that the Storm will do all the BlackBerry stuff that we are used to on a BlackBerry, however, the form factor, the touchscreen, the accelerometer, etc., will allow it to do some things that no BlackBerry before it has ever been able to do.
An excellent way to truly the power and performance of many computing devices is to put a good game on them that will really tax the system. I don’t hide the fact that I am not a big fan of the iPhone as a business device, however, you’ve got to give the iPhone props when it comes to playing games.
Will the BlackBerry Storm be able to play some of the types of games that you see coming out on the iPhone? Does it have enough horsepower to move beyond the card and puzzle type games that you see so many of and on to so some of the more graphically and processor games?

The Storm will have a 524 MHz processor along with 1 GB of RAM and 128 Mb of flash memory. The flash is a litttle bit on the light side but should be more than enough to run some pretty good games on.
The bigger question, I think , is if RIM will make games easy to develop for the BlackBerry Storm.
Horse power it has. It has an embedded graphics chip that would potentially allow for better graphics then iphone games. I doubt however that openGL support will be there. So expect games that are similar to the current ones but with touch + accelerometer.
Personally could care less about gaming on a phone. I have a psp for that. I am however impressed with the specs. I do alot with my 8830 and sometimes it lags depending on the app I use. Im sure with this puppy i wont lag anymore.
Nothing beats ol’ NES and SNES emulation on a Windows Mobile device, but what does RIM have in store at the BB App Store? Only time will tell, however for those hard core phone gamers, you might want to wait for Alienware to release a cell phone.
COD4 anyone? Another dropped call… and another dropped body!
Using my BB, I don’t have time for games. Like NXT9 said, I have a Wii for games if the time allows. If the Storm can fly faster than my current Pearl, I’ll be more than happy. Now, watching a movie on it while on a plane is another story…
I tend to like the very simple games, so it doesn’t matter to me.
I rather suspect it will do a good job…but maybe not quite as good as the iPhone with more sophisticated games.
Plus, I rather suspect that the serious game developers will focus more on the iPhone than the BB.
It has more processing power than the iPhone and a brighter screen display. It can handle the games just fine but the question is if they’ll be made. I hope so because this would be a great way to pass time in transit.
When you live in a city like NYC and spend a good amount of time in the subway, the ability to play cool games on your phone comes pretty handy. I hope developers keep this in mind and create cool games for the storm.
I have had my storm for over a month now and I want some games.I have had three
Other phone computers and all of them supported very workable games.
Please keep me abreast when games come available.
Thank you for your support.

The BlackBerry Storm is an awesome phone. I’ve had mine 3 weeks now and prefer it over the iPhone (our company switched to Verizon) When games do become available, I hope people will review them as I need something to do while I’m in the subway every weekday.
when will we be able to play king 3 texas hodem on my storm ?
yea u guys who say i have a psp and wii for that obviously dont travel much or have jobs that require alot of time sitting around im not gonna pack around an extra psp when the phone is totally capable of playing games. nes and snes for win mobile is gr8! bb would do well to at least have a file manager on the phone
blackberry storm its one the best gaming phone better graphics and in power is light but java programing is powerfull update it the i phone never like i phone the are more for baby
The above post makes no sense . As for gaming i think the Iphone touch screen is better for snes type games but the BB does have more buttons maybe they will have to use the Vol. or the 4 buttons at the lower end of the phone.
