It's official. BlackBerry is officially releasing the direct iPhone competitor - the touch screen-driven BalckBerry Storm (9500/9530 series). Looks cool and it's not made by Apple. What else would you want?..

Hot on the heels of the Google G1 unveiling, Blackberry continues to rule the way that they do. The New Storm pictures and if you are on Verizon, and your new every 2 is coming up, save it for the Blackberry Storm. (via check it)

I'm not going to lie to you all. I hated this damn thing when I first got it. It used to freeze on me all of the time. However after the latest OS upgrade (and I suspect when the new 5.0 OS is released it will really be awesome) 4.7 making my freezing issue disappear I love, love, love my Storm. I love having my email handy (this is my first BB), being able to take pix and video of my lil dude and being able to upload right away to Flickr. I love being able to sync with iTunes and having my music with me all the time. Even better I love using my Motorockr bluetooth car speaker to modulate my music over my car stereo! What I love the most is the ability to upgrade memory, something you cannot do with an iPhone. With the Storm all I need to do is get my hand memory card. With the current BB OS it will support up to 32 gigs. Those cards are due to be out at the end of summer. How easy. No new device needed. Also if I get a new BB all I need to do is transfer the memory card. That alone is why I'm sticking with a BB!

It's great now...wasn't so....great at first...

Took me awhile to get accustomed to touch-screen, but now is extension of my hand again

nice features and good price.

pretty neat huh

Cool phone!
