Blackberry Storm Not A Resounding Success
From preliminary reviews, it appears that the Blackberry Storm is not exactly set to take the market, well, by storm. It has definite good points, but also resounding bad ones.
On the up side, it features a high-resolution camera and the ability to capture continuous video as well as provide continuous lighting for pictures.
It comes preloaded with a suite of products to edit Microsoft Word documents, something the iPhone doesn’t have. It also is connected to Blackberry’s enterprise server for products such as Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and Novell GroupWise.
On the down side, tech experts find the touchscreen interface exceedingly clunky, navigation difficult, and the GPS troublesome.
David Pogue of the New York Times nicknames it the Blackberry Dud, and comic and actor Stephen Fry finds the concept of it killing the iPhone a laughable one.
In the end, the market will decide which side wins.
