Reviews
"The RIM BlackBerry Storm may blow in a frenzy for Verizon Wireless subscribers wanting a touch screen similar to the Apple iPhone. However, there are bugs and performance issues that prevent the Storm from delivering its full potential."—CNET Reviewshttp://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/rim-blackberry-storm-verizon/4505-6452_7-33311850.html"Appealing to the consumer in all of us, RIM stabs at the heart of Apple's iPhone, and comes out on top in many respects."—Information Weekhttp://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2008/10/blackberry_stor.html;jsessionid=4WO3QDTEWISHRQE1GHRSKHWATMY32JVN
"The touch screen isn't the only innovation here. There's a lot going on under the hood, too. This is the first phone we've seen with dual-mic noise cancellation, a feature borrowed from Bluetooth headsets that improves voice transmission quality by measuring and then canceling outside noise using a microphone on the back of the handset."—PC Magazinehttp://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2331979,00.asp
