I got myself a BlackBerry Storm last week and I love the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) features. I have to commit RM120 to Maxis now though.
Touch + Click screen concept is really good but I have to admit that the implementation sucked big time. I can’t see where I type since my finger is always covering the character I’m typing, I can’t touch type on the Storm like I do on the iPhone as you’ll need to click on it to register your strokes and the multi touch implementation really disappointed.
Maybe I’m too used to the iPhone but those were valid reasons. I am doing less with the BlackBerry than on the iPhone. I find myself typing more errors than ever!
However, I have to say this, the BlackBerry gave iPhone a run for its money. It’s one of the better phones I’ve used and I once thought of giving up the iPhone for this. Luckily I didn’t.
I’m thinking of trading in the Storm for a Bold, since it has the buttons I need on a “regular-non-iPhone” device. Any takers?
