RIM’s BlackBerry Storm and NY Times’ Pogue don’t mix
RIM’s first touchscreen BlackBerry is proving to be one heck of a media-darling, the likes of which the iPhone would be proud. Some shower the BlackBerry Storm with praise, while others belittle the BlackBerry’s SurePress click-able touchscreen. Needless to say, it’s been a stormy ride (excuse the pun) for the Storm.

Mr. Blurrycam has reared his ugly head yet again, but this time he’s bringing us good news (actually, he usually does).

RIM Countersues Kodak Over Camera Tech
Earlier this week Kodak initiated legal action against LG and Samsung over camera patent violations, and RIM was also on the chopping block, but they aren’t going to wait for Kodak to throw the first punch.

BlackBerry Storm Eviscerated for Public Display
The juicy, juicy innards of the recently-launched BlackBerry Storm have been pried open and scoped out by some tech-savvy reviewers. The one thing everyone wants to know is how the SurePress touchscreen works under the hood, but it’s nothing especially fancy – just a plate with a central pivot point. In terms of its execution,…
AT&T BlackBerry Bold available for $149.99
