So the BlackBerry Storm hasn't even
made it onto Verizon yet, and in flies word that RIM is actually doing something other than resting on its laurels (and contemplating
buyout offers from Microsoft). The Boy Genius has it from two independent sources that RIM is currently hard at work on a "super-phone" of sorts, complete with a 5-megapixel auto-focus camera, 1GB of memory and a "near-HD quality screen." In all seriousness, it's not too shocking to hear that the outfit is working up a formidable opponent to go against HTC's
Touch HD /
T8290, but it's not stopping there. We're also told that a second and third-generation Storm are already being whipped up in the design room, but it's pretty safe to say you won't be seeing those in the flesh for a good while. Regrettably, that's it for the details, but you can rest assured that we'll be keeping an ear to the ground for more.

I am a Windows Mobile user but I have been impressed with RIM pushing out devices and getting cool stuff to the market. They seem to know that you can't rest as the mobile smartphone OS/Device race is getting hotter than ever before. Blackberry is making big changes to compete and you see why they are dominant in the market right now big props to them.
You see Google Andriod, Nokia Symbian OS, Blackberry OS, and iPhone OS all making moves to position themselves to compete and windows mobile just feels like its slacking. Now with their delay on their OS I feel it has to be more than just a simple "visual upgrade" if they plan on competing in this market still. (Although the weird this is Windows Mobile is a more open mobile OS that iPhone is right now and that's really really sad.)
Im excited to be a Blackberry user with RIM pushing hard to maximize the experience of users for personal and business on the same device.
Now if only LTE would come out soon so I can make calls and use data at the same time with Verizon.
looks as though apple is gonna have to work pretty hard to stay in this game. I didn't think that they would have to put out a new iphone next year but now it looks as though they might have to
I don't know what is all the hype regarding these new touch screen phones, I have already had the Pearl, and went to the Curve from there, they are great phones with the keyboard on the Curve making it the phone of choice for those who are not strictly stuck to business, but want to keep in touch with friends as well.
These touch screen phones are all hype, even if you never plan to use it for business reasons, they're not all too functional. I know the big screen is great for watching movies or something but I rather use a full scale laptop or tv for movies, and there has never been much of a real internet feel with phones anyway, so a small screen isn't too bad for surfing the news websites.
Maybe I'm just being less needy that I let the hype brush off me, but physical keyboard rules all.
