This is bad. Oooh! A virtual keyboard! Portrait-to-Landscape Pics! A camera, you say? GPS? More than a minute in and they've shown us nothing new or compelling. When I think Blackberry, I think business. This emphasizes video streaming and soccer moms.
I'm confused. Why are they showing really young people and athletic equipment? Who is the audience for this ad? This is trying too hard to be cool and fails to make an argument for Blackberry over Iphone. The expandable memory is the only thing I see that's different. Downloadable music? Great. But without ITunes and Ipod, what's the user experience like? The Iphone keyboard is frustrating... and Blackberry's new product has a virtual keyboard as well? So disappointing to see such a failure to improve on existing technologies.
The government will be bailing them out in no time...

"Storm" is a silly name. Wasn't there a Geo Storm, too? Not so much with the power and the drive. It's very clear that BB is scrambling.

Why are there so many profile shots? Blackberry knows part of the iPhone draw is its slender physique. Why call so much attention to this clunky thing's girth?

Wow guys. Features! Look. So terrible. Being derivative is a sign of intellectual and creative failure. And, uh, that really matters since Apple is, uh, like, all intellectual and creative. Grade: F The Lady will NEVER hump this.
What Storm? Maybe a familiar breeze on a Sunday morning..... written by JdB,

If you listen to their radio commercial they don't even believe it is a BlackBerry. Not surprising since they describe the iPod Touch.
Whatever.
