Purported Vodafone BlackBerry Storm screen shots emerge

We've seen most everything about the BlackBerry Storm that Verizon wanted us to see, but this is the first real (clear) glimpse at what the UI is apt to look, taste and smell like whenever it decides to ship. Of course, we'd still caution you to take all of this with a grain of salt until Vodafone comes clean, but the screen shots captured in the read link do look fairly believable. Can you stand any more teasin'? If so, you know where to head.

I realize the screen is pretty big, but does ANYONE work with spreadsheets on their phone? I know it can be done with WM phones, but it's got to be pretty miserable

Editing is balls but viewing them is fine and quite useful. I mean, at most you're just updating/editing a few entries but you've done most of the work on a computer.

Oh nice! not the best way to show off the keyboard with excel, i'm sure it'd be more practical for texting / e-mail / IM. I'm really excited for this to launch!

[wako @ Sep 26th 2008 12:08AM]

EWW! I been waiting for this?! Send it back to the R&D department please =/

[Tony @ Sep 26th 2008 12:13AM]

whats so bad about it? They keys are large and laid out pretty clearly, I don't see what the disappointment is about. lol

[Tony @ Sep 26th 2008 12:12AM]

Finally! this looks promising, Im really excited for this :)

[HalfJoey @ Sep 26th 2008 12:27AM]

If it had a keyboard, maybe.

Is your browser not showing images today?

[Tone @ Sep 26th 2008 12:29AM]

this looks good. i wish it was all black thought. i think two tone electronics look cheap and like toys.

[Irwin @ Sep 26th 2008 12:57AM]

Wow of all the companies to make a touch phone, this one doesnt have a keyboard. Thats one of the biggest reasons I loved my past two blackberries. sigh.

[somebody7 @ Sep 26th 2008 1:00AM]

Then this phone is not for you...plain and simple. Go look at the bold, if ATT ever releases it.

[Darkest Daze @ Sep 26th 2008 1:41AM]

That's what the bold is for. They made this for the touchscreen market and that one for the physical keyboard market.

[Darkest Daze @ Sep 26th 2008 1:43AM]

You've got to be kidding me, Engadget. I just replied to this guy with the same thing that someone else did 41 minutes ago. Except, his reply wasn't there until I submitted mine....way to make me look stupid.

[Tommy @ Sep 26th 2008 12:59AM]

but does it have a 3.5mm???

[Jake @ Sep 26th 2008 12:01PM]

3.5mm = Yes. Check previous Storm tags for the leaked spec sheets.

[Jake @ Sep 26th 2008 12:04PM]

Nevermind, I found it for you.

Now I see a storm coming Apple !

[MARTIN @ Sep 26th 2008 9:59AM]

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS.........."NOW I CAN I SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL"......LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING I HAD MY BB FOR 2 YRS AND CHANGED IT FOR THE IPHONE NOT 2 WEEKS AGO THINKING THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE BETTER BUT "IT SUCKS"......SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I'M GOING BACK TO BB....DOES ANYONE KNOWS WHEN CAN WE BUY THIS PHONE???

[AndrewC @ Sep 27th 2008 1:34PM]

Surely this is a joke. How are you going to enter numerical items to the spreadsheet without any numbers on the keyboard UI?
