Storm in a teacup?...

Spend a bit of time hands on with the Blackberry Strom, err Stroll, ahh, Storm...

The keypad is not as easy to get to grips with as the Apple iPhone. In 'potrait mode' the keys are double lettered ones as opposed to a full QWERTY layout and trying to type with any speed in the landscape mode was frustrating. The 'keys' glow blue when you press them as opposed to actually presenting a pop up letter like the iPhone. Not as easy to see IMO.

Obviously it beats the iPhone hands down with it's 3.2 MP camera with a flash, ability to capture video. Having to buy extra memory is a bit of a bitch - wonder how long before Vodafone throws in a 16GB MicroSD card to the deal?

Physically pressing the screen is a bit weird - wonder how long before issues arise with this?

Think I'll stick with the iPhone for now - nice young woman served me though ;)
