A Storm is coming, but will it hit Cupertino?

What? already Blackberry are making a new phone, but this time its touch screen. The storm is Blackberry's attempt at the, there is even a app store for it.
The Storm features a 3.2 megapixel camera, wireless email, web, browser, gps and of course SMS and MMS.
The Storm has HSDPA (3.5G) which means fast Web access with the full HTML Web browser (although it doesn't support Flash). The Storm also offers dual-mode functionality. 
Other connectivity options 
include Bluetooth 2.0, with support for stereo Bluetooth headsets, and GPS, but no Wi-Fi. Google Maps is included for basic sat-nav functionality, but for advanced navigation features, like speech you will have to pay for an app like vodafones pay and go.

Built in to the storm is 1GB of storage, however if that doesn't meet your needs, you can purchase a 16GB micro sd card.
In all the Storm is a great phone(being the first touch screen phone RIM has made), however RIM still has a long way to go if they want to compete with the  iPhone 3G.

Peace guys 
Max
