Watch out iPhone, there’s a Storm on the horizon. Soon to be released by Verizon, the Blackberry Storm just may give the popular iPhone a run for their money.
Originally rumored to be called the “Thunder,” the name became the more powerful “Storm.” And the name just may fit. The device features a 3.2 megapixel camera that takes both stills and video (the iPhone’s 2.0 megapixel camera can’t do video unless you jailbreak it). The Storm also has turn-by-turn navigation (nope, iPhone doesn’t). Want to swap out batteries? The device formerly known as the Storm has a removable battery (sorry, iPhone. We know your users have to go to Apple).
The touchscreen is supposedly a little thicker than the iPhone, but it also has the bare bones control panel. Just four buttons on the bottom. According to an internal Verizon briefing sheet, the Storm will have an “innovative ‘click’ touch screen for smooth, precise text input”. Nice.
Verizon has an exclusive deal to sell the Storm, although no real details are released yet, for price or date. They just say “Soon”.
