RIM's Storm plans reveled!

[starmburst1]

I must be a lucky SOB, because I have had no real issues with my S1, other than being slow, but its not that much slower then the first iphone, so is it really that bad? Would I love a new storm 3(or even a S2 with the wifi's) heck yeah, but I can wait until July when my NE2 is up, and hope there is a really awesome phone out...

I am pretty sure it got a bad rep at launch with all the problems and memory leaks it had. You are right and the later OS 5.0 to be leaked or official were great. But the phone doesn't get compared to the phones that were released around the same time. As of now, it probably runs just as great or better than the first 2 iphones. But too bad it wasn't really at its potential until its eol with Verizon in the us. And now it just doesn't stand up to the speed and capabilities of newer model phones.

Apple will face stiff competition from samsung and others with android and windows 7 mobiles. I tried out the droid and windows 7 samsungs. Very fast and fantastic screens.

I honestly wonder if the Storm line of phones is even relevant any more now that the 9800 is out.

It seems to me that if you want a touch screen only device then all you have to do is to make a 9800 without the slider keyboard.

The Storm got such a bad reputation in its early days that I do not belive it is a credible device anymore even though the Storm II was a better phone.

I agree that samsung has a few really great higher end devices. I've owned samsung devices in the past, but they always seemed mediocre to me, however the galaxy S series has a lot to offer. I am actually going to get one this december as I am interested in what android and samsung have to offer.

The storm 2 was a huge leap over the storm 1 but it was a bit behind other phone of the time. The users who buy into the storm series are probably not business users, so they want a media powerhouse imo. If RIM caters to those who like blackberry and want the best they should change the storm series to include top of the line mechanics, a better screen, and fast processor. Iphone and the high end Android devices have terrible battery life and nobody is returning them because of. If the future storms are on par but no worse than the competition I think it will be succsesful again

There are not going to be anymore Storm's the name is dead at RIM. I don't know what the name of the new touch screen device will be, but I know it won't be Storm 3.
It will be a great new device, but no QNX, it will be OS6.1. We'll be seeing it out in the spring, not too much longer to wait. I believe most will be very happy with it, specially with the TAT influenced UI.

im super stoked for this phone...sure it wont have dual cores and 3D display but thats why im buying the Nintendo 3DS on launch day! And ill probs buy this phone a month after release just too see what bugs will ship with the phone cause RIM sucks at makng a perfect OS and I know it will take many OS leaks to fix whatever problems this phone will surely have. I hope they call it the Storm3 and not the BOLD like every blackberry is called these days. This is what ive been waiting for for 3 years now from RIM. Im guessing that it wont actually release until mid fall cause I dont think they are even close to production on this device if weve only seen one live pic of this phone and all other pics are renderd...

Things that Apple and Android still won't think is important, like highly customizable notification settings, effective push email and true enterprise integration are going to take the world BY STORM (and yes they will keep the storm name.) People are going to eat it up; they all just need a chance to try out Anrdoid or an iPhone and experience how consumer-friendly and productivity-unfriendly they are in order to realize how good they had it with BB (even though they might not be able to multitask 50 fart apps or load a web page in under 30 seconds.)

I know I will.

I cant wait
