Conclusions

Overall, the Storm is a capable smart phone. It will appeal to BlackBerry users who want to try a larger screen with touch capabilities. The unique SureType screen may appeal to some, but is sure to be a turn-off to others. Business applications and enterprises email integration make it a viable option for business users. Although the Storm is a useful smart phone, the input problems will stymie many users. Our guess is that it will take BlackBerry a little longer if they want to catch up to and/or surpass the iPhone and the G1.

Pros:

  • Excellent call quality
  • Good navigation
  • Enterprise email access
  • Good pictures and camera features
  • Included 8 GB memory card
  • Replaceable battery
  • Good battery life
  • Voice dialing
  • Set up wizards and online tutorials

Cons:

  • Text input somewhat difficult
  • Poor auto correction
  • Commands often too close together to press
  • No Wi-Fi
  • Slow camera focus
  • Browser not as good as some others
