The Bold on the other hand is a great phone in the standard tradition of a Blackberry. it has a beautiful screen, of course the QWERTY keyboard, and the OS just makes more sense for a device with a trackball. I know that BB was trying to go a different direction with the Storm, but it just wasnt pulled off as tightly as i would have liked.]]>Nov 21st 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/Nov 21st 2008 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/]]>Nov 21st 2008 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/Nov 21st 2008 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/Nov 21st 2008 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/
I dig the click type interface and the screen is just fantastic.

If you want a copy let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

I have the same image edited into an iPhone wallpaper, but I have the original image if you want to edit it yourself to whatever size you want.

There is a single key that must be pressed when typed, therefore you can't type fast on the device. It's exhausting to use.]]>Nov 21st 2008 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/

I thought this would happen with the G1... I have only really known about the storm for the better part of a month.

Then again, I guess I am overlooking the amount of people who NEED a Blackberry for work. ]]>Nov 21st 2008 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/blackberry-storm-sells-out-hard-and-fast/

I'm not a touch screen newbie as I own an iPod Touch. Maybe software updates will iron these issues out? In the end I cancelled the order.

After waiting for 10 mins and giving onna the guys, who had the phone in his hand for well over 15 mins and at times not even messing with it just holding it, a piece of my mind...I left the place. I didn't get a chance to even play with it, plus they were none in the inventory.

The good thing Verizon are doing though is if you sign-up with them today (and they're out of stock), the phones will ship in on Monday...and they'll just credit the rebate to you immediately.
