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.
