Comments on: BlackBerry Storm Review Wrapup http://www.geardiary.com/2008/11/20/blackberry-storm-review-wrapup/ Everyone can understand technology; sometimes it just takes a little translating.

My guess is that someone from RIM walked him through a few demos. To give one sentence about the multi-media capabilities of the phone? Huh? This is a consumer device. One sentence? The entire review read like a mini-feature shoot out between iPhone and Storm with very little independent analysis of the key reasons to buy one over the other. For some crazy reason I think the best reviews are going to be the reports actual users make in howardforums and blackberryforums after they buy the phone on Friday. I saw that review and wrote about it here:

He is not telling anyone to run out and get one.
