Well, there’s a lot of fuss in the tech press today over the announcement of Blackberry’s new phone, the Blackberry Storm.
Coincidentally I’ve been looking at getting a Blackberry for my next phone (currently been looking at the Curve), and if this lives up to its initial promise, then I reckon I could well get one. It seems to address one of my main problems with the current touch screen trend (lack of tactile response), and it looks pretty. The camera’s also better than those on the current handsets (3.2 megapixel vs 2.0).
From a quick look at the specs and just the general hype its caused, could we be looking at a potential iPhone-killer? I certainly hope so, as while there are currently other touch screen phones available, none of them have really measured up. Also you assume this phone will be available on multiple networks, so I have to presume that Orange, Vodafone etc will be looking for a handset they can push to upset O2′s advantage.
Certainly, while I’m not interested in the iPhone (keyboard too fiddly for texting, no MMS) this has really caught my eye. I’m due to upgrade at the end of the year, so hopefully this will be out by then, and I’ll be able to check out some of the reviews.
