Verizon was getting a few TV teasers rolling just before the official announcement of the BlackBerry Storm a few days back, and now Vodafone is following up with what sounds like a UK ad. Germany is also slated to provide RIM’s first touchscreen BlackBerry with signature ClickThrough technique. It’s probably safe to assume Vodafone will be pushing this out to its many international branches in due course, so if you haven’t heard anything in your respective neck of the woods, just sit tight.
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
