BlackBerry Storm Review

The Blackberry storm reviews are in and they are mixed, mainly depending on how much reviewers love the iPhone (yup, there are real fanboys out there). But here’s how the Storm turns out:

• + display It has an awesome display with great resolution and contrast.
• + Solid messaging
• -No physical keyboard
• -No graphics acceleration
• -No WIFI

Some call it the “best Blackberry ever”, and some just call it “awkward and disappointing”. I think that one should just not expect miracles from the virtual keyboard. I’ve tested plenty of phones with a tactile feedback and they will not replace or even get close to a physical keyboard if you like typing fast. Let’s be clear: people don’t love the virtual keyboards – they love the big display and the virtual keyboard is the price to pay to get it.

The software is not as polished as the iPhone – that’s a fact. However, if you want a BlackBerry with a huge display, you won’t have much choice. The Storm is not a terrible choice, but you would have been warned about the virtual keyboard!
