BlackBerry Storm Picture Gallery

After dodging dirty looks from Verizon reps at the BlackBerry Developer Conference, I finally managed to get some time with the upcoming BlackBerry Storm. This here is actually the Vodafone version, which, although had less of a presence here at the show in California, will have a much more widespread launch through European channels and abroad.

I did a lot of size comparing with my BlackBerry Bold, and the Storm seems a notch smaller on all sides, but not by much. Check the SizeEasy to get a more precise idea. The Storm of course has the microUSB slot first introduced to the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, which I also got to fool around for with a bit for the first time (not bad, little different, not a lot of horsepower). That new USB slot saves a lot of space on the thickness front. As mentioned, the OS is still fairly beta, but I managed to see a few more recent versions, and it’s clear that RIM is working hard on the bumps and will have something good and stable in time for the rumored November release.
