The Blackberry Storm

The much-anticipated Blackberry Storm has finally hit the public. This morning, RIM officially revealed what is unquestionably the most lustworthy Blackberry to date. The Blackberry Storm is a touchscreen smart phone that is certain to give tough competition to the iPhone. The Storm’s 3.25″ touchscreen is a bit different than any other– it is also a floating button that can be “clicked”. Pressing down on the touch screen actually clicks to activate any selected app or function. Users of classic Blackberrys will recognize this as the logical replacement for the jog wheel click. The Storm includes an accelerometer, allowing for motion control for functions like screen-flipping and otherwise. Its video playback is smooth and pristine, making the most of the 480×360 display. For more details and hands-on, Engadget has a detailed walkthrough. To tinker for yourself, head on over to Blackberry’s Storm website… [blackberry]
