BIG OOPS: Vodafone Storm Webpage Shows iPhone Love?!
Update: Looks like Vodafone pulled the messed up page for now. Good Thinking. *
WTF?! This sucks. Rene Ritchie, editor of our sibling site TheiPhoneBlog.com, is NEVER gonna let me live this down. Never Ever. Turns out some soon-to-be fired bloke (likely an iPhone fanboy) working for Vodafone or one of the marketing agencies they contract with totally fraked up on the graphics used on the Vodafone BlackBerry Storm 9500 specs webpage.
Look at the images above. How in the world the iPhone homescreen and iPhone web browser would get past Quality Assurance and go live on the web I have no idea. Heck, check out the GPS map used on one of the images... it's messed up too. It features the watermark from another BlackBerry blog, BlackBerryNews on it. Hilarious. I'm guessing the images will get fixed up in short order, but in the meantime you can check them out here.

where were these images supposed to be because i went all through the vodafone site when it first went live and didnt see these. so any chance this is bs?

not BS. Was up on their site. Now they've redirected the specs page back to main storm page for now.
