1. Comment - Open mouth, insert BlackBerry

   (Jan 26, 2009 - 11:52 PM)

   Blackberry... "cool devices"???? In what language isn't that an oxymoron? People, pardon me, IT departments buy Blackbberries, pardon me again, bought the pre-Storm blackberries because they do messaging not because of their iTunes integration. David Pogue among others pointed out in his review that messaging without a real keyboard has some problems. The Storm isn't buggy; the storm combines the worst traits of two contrasting design philosophies and has no clear market. Is it for business or consumer? Neither, it frustrates everyone equally! Well, if that doesn't make you "krav" one, I guess you're not schizoid.
   
   In all seriousness, there are two really good cell phone platforms providers, Apple and RIM. RIM has a great set of development tools but the Storm is just completely at odds with their market. As much as I'd like to see RIM invest in this, they need to treat the Storm as an entirely different market. The Storm isn't cool, it's frustrating.
   
   As for Verizon, well, what more is there to say about a call phone company who's marketing slogan is "Can you hear me now"?
