BlackBerry Battle Royale: Storm vs. Bold

BlackBerry fans in the market for a new smartphone have a tough decision to make. They can go Bold with a deluxe handset that features a traditional keypad, or they can go the touchscreen route with the new Storm. Reviewer Eric Benderoff recommends the former.With the touchscreen Storm, Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM) offers a response to Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) iPhone. Unfortunately, the Storm is more like a flurry, failing to add much more than a trace of innovation.The Storm is sleek and offers nice multimedia functions; videos look great. But navigating the phone can be cumbersome.(Benderoff, 2008)

I was suprised that RIMM launched the Blackberry "Bold" and "Storm" so close that you  actually see the commercials of both products back to back(im serious).The storm has gotten many reviews that show that it didn't live up to the hype,on the other hand the "Bold" has been approved by traditional blackberry users.The "storm" is like other iphone wannabes that want to remove  apple  from the touch-screen throne,but it seems that it would take more brainpower to that,since even the almighty Blacberry couldn't do it.
