The Blackberry Storm had been launched just under a year ago and it was welcomed with criticism from the start. Blackberry needed to come out with something that would stand as good competition against the Apple iPhone 3G, and though the Storm had a sl...

So many manufacturers have been blindly aping the iPhone’s way of doing things recently that it seems innovation has gone out of the window. RIM, however, has had other ideas. Its new Storm has a 3.25in, 360 x 480 “clickthrough” screen – where it acts...
