The first BlackBerry Storm was at first held up as the savior for carriers without the iPhone, but over time it became clear RIM's entry was short of this goal: an aging OS, no Wi-Fi and a misconceived click-down touchscreen meant it often didn't pleas...
Better pushdown screen, 16GB card included; more RAM, Improved scrolling, typing, web browsing, Builtin WiFi; GSM/HSPA world mode, Good call quality and battery life... 
Pushdown screen still damages the experience, No real hardware changes apart from WiFi, Competitors have moved faster, BlackBerry OS 5.0 a minor update to an old OS, Camera photos are noisy versus rivals, App World has a small catalog, isn't preloaded.

The Storm uses the intuitive BlackBerry OS, email features and document viewers. But it all goes downhill from there. The entire touchscreen is like a large button which you actually have to click in. So, to select something, you place a finger o...
