My brother is reviewing the Storm for his website
Says overall it's a good step for RIM, but that I probably wouldn't like it. His e-mail to me:
"Buy if you want a nice build, good email integration, and good media playback. Don't buy if you hate slow interfaces, and clumsy typing. Perhaps a firmware could fix those issues but for now it's annoying. Gotta touch the key, press, and LET GO before you even touch the next
key."
Which for me would probably drive me insane.
It would take a really solid product offering from RIM with a metal case and a glass screen to get me to switch from the iPhone.

"The Votes Are In: BlackBerry Storm Sucks"
"Having tried the Storm on two different days to make sure it was really as bad as it seemed the first time, I too find it unbelievable that these are for sale," a reader wrote to Pogue. "Verizon should just box all these Storms up and send them to Toys R Us, who can sell them in the Brainteaser section, right next to the Rubik's Cubes."<ul><li><a href="http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/12/the-votes-are-i.html">Ouch!</a></li></ul>

I love how companies send me flyers on Earth day about how green they are
Meanwhile they continue to send me return envelopes with their bills when I have not paid a bill by mail in 10 yrs.

Heres another reason to hate BELL, they just installed a new tower in Downtown Calgary...
and some programmer gave it a code indicating it was in Edmonton so anyone who made a call or checked their voicemail within range of that tower were charged long distance rates.
Bell fixed the problem with the code but never told any of their subscribers. This had gone on for 2 months. If you didn't look closely at your statement then you were out of luck.
A local TV news program broke the story yesterday.<ul><li><a href="http://calgary.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20081210/CGY_Bell_Mobility_081210/20081210/?hub=CalgaryHome">http://calgary.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20081210/CGY_Bell_Mobility_081210/20081210/?hub=CalgaryHome</a</li></ul>
