Thank you, Gizmodo. I will be sticking with my iPhone after all.

I can't not have wifi.

And what of the implementation of cut/paste? I think the site touched on it once before but I can't remember.

This phone needs to be a win for RIM. Given the 2 trillion investment bankers that have been laid off, I image there are a lot of Blackberrys at the bottom of the Hudson and Thames.

I thought typing on the iPhone was an abortion for a long time, but now I've just learned to trust the software and I can tie or beat my buddies in a random typing speed and accuracy test. Yes, we do that.

I think RIM needs to stick with what they know best, making their nea-terrific fixed keyboard even better. Conisdering how much R&D scratch went into this, it needed to be a winner.

Top marks for the screen click thing. At least they didn't try and imitate the iPhone but actually attempted to evolve it. Thanks for the review... for now, I'm glad I sold my RIM stock.

@sharmanova: I don't think the Storm is really aimed at the enterprise user. It's more of a consumer level BB, aimed at those who don't want an iPhone or don't like AT&T.

I think Verizon will sell lots of them. Too bad for no WiFi. It's going to be a tremendous drain on Verizon's 3G network. I can't imagine using my iPhone at home without the WiFi connection.

@livinzlife: What's disappointing is the author using the phrase "end-all, be-all." It's "end-all, BEAT-all." [/end anal retentive rant]
