Well, the storm is not the traditional Blackberry. They were definitely trying to make it more mainstream.....less business and more of a toy. She plays games, views videos, listens to her music, checks her e-mail, googles the jonas brothers or whatever she would do on a computer.

She also NEEDS(according to her) to be able to update her livejournal and youtube account on the go.

She gets good grades, is involved in activities(piano lessons)and behaves well...so why not?.

I quite like the Storm. In my opinion, it’s a better touch screen device than 90% of Windows Mobile devices, also the Nokia 5800 is absolutely pathetic! The Storm isn’t anywhere near the level of the iPhone, but compared to other competitors it’s pretty good. The iPhones keyboard is one of it’s biggest selling points!

I bought my niece a storm for her 12th b-day and she loves it. I played around with it before making the purchase and I think it’s a decent device, I don’t however think that it’s on the same level as the iphone which is kind of a shame because I like RIM and was rooting for them to make a comeback with the storm.

I LOVE the glass pad, one of the best things about the iphone and much more pleasant to type on than the storm……seriously, having to press down to enter text was a silly idea and kind of unnecessary IMHO.

@Albert and softie, software is only half the battle and RIM lost the other half with the Storms hardware as well. Very poor and feels rushed as well.

And MobileMe works perfectly fine. Within the time I owned a BB Bold RIM had numerous email outages while MobileMe has not failed that entire time. But it did have a few issues the first few weeks. But again, that's not the iPhone.

I agree that its ridiculous to say nobody gets it right the first time out, but clearly the way that updates just a few months down the line made the Storm a much better phone and device indicates that it was a half-baked device which could have been a much better launch later than earlier. Its not like they added functionlity with the leaked os updates, just made things run better

Did people forget the atrocious call quality and dropping calls of the original iphone…oh and remember when safari habitually crashed the iphone when it came out? So much for getting it right the first (lol@mms+stuff their FINALLY ADDING)
