I spotted a BB Storm today!!
- Hello everyone!!
I know I seem like a noob since I am new here, but I just wanted to let you guys know that I spotted a BlackBerry Storm tonight at Tim Hortons in Mississauga. I was able to play with it, by asking the guy who had it if I can play with it.
I asked him if I can take a photograph but he was not sure about it so I did not bother to push him to let me take a picture (Just wanted it to show it to my co-workers), but anyways I have to say the device looks very slick and it is just as big as the Bold in dimensions, and it feels right in the hands.
Although, I don't know what version of software this one had it, the touchscreen was not so good, at least not as good as the iPhone's touch screen.
Oh, and it was running on Rogers (EDGE) but it was a Vodafone branded device.
The person I spotted with the Storm apparently works in the development department at RIM or something of that nature.10-26-08 02:01 AMLike 0 - Thanks for the info I wish I could play with a storm

I agree.
I don't mean to sound like an ***, but the whole story sounds fake. Although not impossible, I don't know why someone working in development at RIM would be so happy to just hand over the phone to any old person that asks. And the response to whether the OP could take a picture sounds fake. It's either yes or no. I highly doubt he would be "unsure," and wishy-washy.
Well, who knows. That's just my take. I could be completely wrong.
The lack of detail and the indirect dig at RIM and props to iPhone makes me wonder.10-26-08 11:39 AMLike 0 - I hope you took all his fracking money and then kicked him in the balls later in the parking lot. What an ***. You can tell him I said so. lol10-26-08 01:03 PMLike 0

AND RIM does have an office in Mississauga and their HQs are just 1hr drive from there.
Most of all, why would the OP lie about this?!!?10-26-08 03:10 PMLike 0 -
- I don't really care whether you believe me or not...I just thought I'd let you guys know that I saw a GSM Storm. I have a Bold and I'd still take it over the Storm after coming across it last night.
He was not sure because he was afraid the pictures might end up on the net and it would eventually be traced back to him.
The guy even told me, he said you actually have to apply pressure for it to work (the touchscreen). I was shocked because from what I have seen on the net the screen is supposedly better on the Storm or equivalent to the iPhone.
He also hinted at the 8900 when I mentioned it and said he prefers the Bold over the Curve 8900, Pearl 8220 and the Storm 9500/9530.
One thing I found that was odd is that it was a Vodafone physically branded Storm but it had the Rogers Mall and all that stuff, how is that possible?10-26-08 05:39 PMLike 0 -

- Um... Yes... That's been one of the most talked about features of the phone for the past several months. The screen "clicks" ... it's actually been one of the features that's been praised by almost everyone that has reviewed it...10-26-08 06:13 PMLike 0
- To the touch screen; Kevin in his review of the storm this week stated it felt more like glass but had that 'click' to it. I was at an Apple store today playing with the new Mac book and it has a new click mouse touch pad. It 'clicks'. ... Wonder if it's similar?10-26-08 06:58 PMLike 0
