One thought to be RIM’s answer to the Apple iPhone, the Blackberry Storm hasn’t quite been able to topple the iPhone’s cult-like following or its sleek touchscreen interface. So now you can get a Blackberry Storm smartphone from Verizon for just 50 bucks with a two-year contract.
While Blackberry phones are still largely relegated to the workplace, I wouldn’t count them out of the touch revolution for long. Recently RIM has been working on a new strategy for catching up with the iPhone’s Web browsing experience.
Rather than starting from scratch, RIM just bought out mobile browser developer Torch Mobile. This new browser could be the lynchpin that allows Blackberry users the same level of usability when browsing the Web as on the iPhone.
Maybe the next generation Storm device will upgrade the browsing experience. However if you’re just looking to talk and text, the Storm might be just for you.
