RIM BlackBerry Storm Review – Just the Bad Points

• No WiFi
• Touchscreen display slides around under finger, not just depresses
• Dust gets under the screen
• Virtual Qwerty keyboard is a love it/hate it affair (I side with the latter)
• 155g weight is heavier than iPhone 3G, Samsung Pixon and LG Renoir
• Impossible to recommend to anyone without them trying it.
• The ultimate Marmite smartphone.
