Well, no need to
wait around for the Storm 2 to right all of the BlackBerry Storm's wrongs, the Cool9500 is here to make it all better. Namely, the Cool9500 brings the all-important gold trim, something we always felt was a major shortcoming of RIM's first stab at this form factor. There's also an all-important TV tuner -- another wild misstep in the original. Sure, we'll miss SurePress and the usable software, but we'd say Cool9500 really hit RIM where it hurts with this impressive followup.

This is perfect for the up and rising go getter in the high stakes world of managing lemon-aid stands...

Definitely, a BlackBerry Storm killer. They should have named this thing the HuckleBerry or the DingleBerry. It certainly has more features than the Storm. What good is a handset without, ahem, a TV tuner? Holy crap. Now that's what I call full-featured. I'm sure it must run third-party background apps since that's at the top of every tech-geek must have feature list. Pffft.

It has a TV tuner?
Id take this over the real one
winallsys @ May 16th 2009 4:50PM
Ya, but analog...
The whole "DTV" thing in the U.S. will make this feature pretty useless here, pretty soon (by June, actually, after numerous delays).
Epsilon-Not @ May 16th 2009 4:51PM
Hm, would it even work on US analog (NTSC)? I thought China used PAL or something else...

That's some nice bling.
Eric Foor @ May 16th 2009 5:19PM
Add some spinners, or maybe some LEDS! It will definitely need to be studded. And don't forget the fake diamonds!

Ahh more chinese knockoff crap. I'm so sick of them not being original for once.
bigcow05 @ May 16th 2009 5:55PM
I'm sick of KIRF posts too but that doesn't mean everything made there is a KIRF. It just seems like Engadget likes to report KIRFs for some reason. Perhaps they get more clicks?

Blackberry Storm is POS.
WinMo is the way of future.
digitallysick @ May 16th 2009 5:43PM
Haha yeah right sure it is, they sell knock off winmo if you would like that too
Game_playa @ May 16th 2009 5:47PM

Epsilon-Not @ May 16th 2009 5:54PM
Palm OS is the way of the future! Er, well, actually maybe not.
CleverEndeavor @ May 16th 2009 6:22PM

So this is the new blackberry strom? Neat
Leindurstit @ May 16th 2009 7:06PM
Ahaha, I love how it has those five quick-access buttons on the bottom like the Nokia featured earlier today.

You must be proud showing the world what an ignorant schmuck you are. Congrats
rony @ May 17th 2009 6:07AM
I reported you...people like you are a blot on society.
Tim @ May 17th 2009 8:00AM
is it not clear that these fakes are becoming, by and large better as time moves forward. how long before the fakes are considered to be the real thing? i have a couple of mates who have brought, perhaps not fakes, in so much as name but good, probably Chinese takes on what smart phones should be. there opinions seem to be good so far, which makes me a bit tempted to get in there myself, so long as the price is right.
Waz @ May 17th 2009 7:35PM
