Yet another Storm rave

I was going to stop commenting on BlackBerry Storm, but I can't, this is just too much fun. David Pogue of the New York Times gave a review of it where he absolutely despised the phone. I don't feel like quoting anything, but it's fun to read, so read it here.

My dad loves making fun of the iPhone and supporting companies like RIM who copy Apple's ideas and try to make a quick buck off of them. I hope I never have to deal with a BlackBerry Storm. It's really bad... And every technology expert who's tried it knows it. I don't even know what else to say. Other than don't get it.

Raves are pouring in for BlackBerry Storm

"Novelty screen feels cheap", "steer clear of this storm" -TIME

"Can't compete with Apple's iPhone" -Chicago Tribune

"Heavy, laggy, sluggish, unstable, clunky, and tiring" -Gizmodo

"Frustrating, inelegant, uncomfortable" "A disappointment" -Engadget

"Awkward, disappointing", "A failed experiment" -PC World

"Unresponsive or inaccurate touch screen" -Wall Street Journal

"If you're locked into a Verizon Wireless contract and you're willing to put up with an OS with the speed of a tranquilized yak, then you may like the BlackBerry Storm" -Wired.com

...I don't even know what to say. So I'm not going to say anything. There's nothing else to add. Just look at the words. They just sum it all up. And the iPhone is getting all kinds of raves, plus it's now the #1 best-selling handset in the world.

Blackberry Storm starts selling tomorrow. RIM's future looks great.
