Gigaom pronounces unreleased, untested and unproven Blackberry Storm an iPhone and G1 killer
Gear Diary — I read with some interest this article from Gigaom about the Blackberry Storm. As you may know the Blackberry Storm is Research in Motion’s first ever touch screen Blackberry. It has been gathering some attention due to its lack of physical keypad and the use of haptic touch (meaning the screen moves when you push it). This phone however has not been released, has no price and no Wi-Fi. According to the article below, this phone is going to be both an iPhone and G-1 killer due to the willingness of Enterprise customers to embrace the phone (at whatever price Verizon decides to ...

Can the BlackBerry Storm Kill the iPhone?
LIVEdigitally — ... I saw a post entitled “Why BlackBerry Storm Is An iPhone (and G-1) Killer” and thought it needed a rebuttal. The post makes some very salient points on how it’s a good device, on good carriers, app store coming, etc. All good points. Now let me explain why I think those points are utterly irrelevant. ...

Mobile Devices Look Enterprise-ready
Know It All — From a glowing review of the forthcoming BlackBerry Storm: "IT managers already supporting BlackBerry within their IT infrastructure will readily accept the Storm as simply one more BlackBerry device. There is a legion of stories building about IT managers' refusal of employee requests for iPhone support.

At the bottom of this post, a video of the keyboard. The lack of wifi is kind of a bummer, though. ...

What’s a BlackBerry Without a Keyboard? [GigaOM]
GigaOM Network — ... RIM’s recently released Blackberry Storm is a device that tries to outdo Apple’s iPhone by including a beefed-up OS, polishing up the interface and marrying it to a really fast 3G network (instead of AT&T’s pokey 3G network.) The device even has visual voice mail, and a cut-and-paste feature. And oh by the way, RIM got rid of the the keyboard and got itself a touch screen. ...

The Handset of the Future Needs Wi-Fi [GigaOM]
GigaOM Network — ... Davis-Felner says the Alliance has certified 249 mobile handsets since 2003, 106 of them this year alone. She expects Wi-Fi on handsets to be more common in the years to come — a prediction that, after reading our readers’ opinions of the BlackBerry Storm shipping without Wi-Fi, I wholeheartedly agree with. And in the last two minutes of the video, Davis-Felner talks about networking WiFi-enabled devices for sharing photos, playing games or printing without ever having to access the web. ...
