The BlackBerry Storm is a smartphone developed by
Research In Motion (RIM).
The Blackberry Storm is as a competitor to the iPhone, the
T-Mobile G1 by HTC, and the HTC Touch Pro from Sprint. The shape
and dimensions are very close to that of the iPhone, but slightly
thicker and shorter. The Blackberry Storm is a world phone, with
3G, HDSPA, GSM, and EDGE.
It is RIM's first touchscreen device and first device without a
physical keyboard. It will be available through Vodafone in the UK
and Australia, Verizon Wireless in the United States.

Easy Touch Screen Navigation
With the BlackBerry Storm smartphone, select and type using
touch technology—the screen is the keyboard. Typing is
easy—highlight the letter on the touch screen and press the screen
to make it appear in your message or document. And navigation is a
breeze. Like a mouse, your fingertip moves the cursor across the
screen.
