Well we got flash! still no wifi its all good im still going to give this a run for its money im excited CANT WAIT
and im first ..i think
I found out that the storm is going to play wii games on it. Also in december 360 games will be playable. i played with the wii games on it. its sooooo cool. my neighbor has 1.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ CASH MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
This answers the ? about a camera flash! I didn't see any info on Flash support, though. Did I miss that? Thanks Kevin for the scoop!
i read it will play video in the web browser but i dont know about flash exactly lets cross our fingers
November can't come fast enough. I want this phone badly.
Thanks, Kevin for the info!! :)
And I'm not afraid to admit it!
It says Standalone and assisted GPS and Blackberry maps. Does anybody think VZW might actually let you use the GPS without paying for vz navigator?? I like to refer to vzw screwing you over like buying a car and them telling you that you cannot use the air conditioning.
Does onstar let you use the gps for free? common people we're in the buisness to make money. not make clothes and give them away for free. seriously! let's think about what were saying here.
I'm curious to know if the touchscreen is glass or plastic? I don't see any indication in the presentation, although on the design page it is called out specifically that the lens of the camera is glass.
that might be because plastic camera lenses are crappy, so the glass lens would give a much better image. as for the touch screen, i dont see why they would use anything other then real glass.
Wonder if verizon will release any more info tomorrow? Can't wait to see when the actual release date will be :)
I'm really impatient to see Kevin's conclusion on the touch-through-screen...
Your opinion will guide my choice between Storm or Javelin!
that tomorrow's update will be this exact info. But that's cool. The weeks will just keep on rollin by!
This is excellent. The only thing I would like to
mention is the use of Flash. (not to be confused with the camera flash..more in a sec). For the Storm to have Flash capabilities would eat up a lot of the CPU as well as eat thru the battery not to mention the download time as well.
Yes, Flash would be great to have on Cell phones. Many people in Japan have Flash-Enabled phones, yet, the states seems to get it last...disappointing but not a deal breaker for me.
Moving on.. by looking at the pics, it SEEMS there is a flash for the camera. However, you cant automatically assume that. Did it ever occur to anyone with the implementation of TiVo and other apps, the little circle we think is a flash could also be the same thing thats used transfer data (something simular to the thing on top of a remote controllers when pointing it at a TV). Im just sayin...Maybe a far fetch, but just a thought..
Needless to say, WiFi isnt a biggie for me. I have good service with VZW basically anywhere. WiFi is nice to have for emergency purposes but at the same time, its nothing but a battery killer. Instead of carrying your wallet, keys, phone and other things, you would have to bring your charger as well...I think Ill pass with the WiFi
it has a flash. Just click on the picture(link)and you can read all about it. I was wondering the same thing.
You seem like you might be a Verizon agent or a Rim agent trying to mildly, to a simple mind, persuade an opinion. Shame on you!
I can not wait for this to come out, I can get it right now if it comes out so make this come out NOW!!!!!! LOL
I want. Now.
Does it appear that they are not disabling the GPS for 3rd party apps?
it does appear this way, but I'm sure that line was given a lot of attention.. AGPS and blackberry maps.. NOT APGS with blackberry maps. I will assume it's a carefully placed trap.
is this going to be available on other carriers?
I have to ask because some douche always asks every time
I wanted to be THAT guy this time
You could be the same guy since you are Anonymous :-)
Flash lite has started to show up on a couple of VZW phones. So maybe in a year or two we will see the flash on phones. Still this phone is sweet, I hoping the price is about the same price or less then then iPhone or that Linux/Google/T-mobile G1 crap.

Yea but those phones use Flash for their User Interface, not the Web, Full HTML browsing.
Okay this phone is definitely a BAMF..
But is it really as thick as it looks in the pictures? It seems like it should have a sticker posted on the side stating "WIDE LOAD"
Curve Size: 106.68 X 60.96 x 15.24 mm
Storm Size: 112.52 x 62.2 x 13.95 mm
iPhone Size: 115 x 61 x 11.6mm
Its not that big. 1.2mm wider and 2.35mm thicker than an iPhone. That's pretty good considering all that's packed in the phone (both CDMA & GSM, flash, removable battery, all of my hopes and dreams).
I agree its bigger than carrying a RAZR but its comparable to other multifunction phones.
iPhone is 4.8oz and Curve is 3.9oz. Anyone know how much the Storm is going to weigh?
iPhone 3G is larger than iPhone so my comparison is off.
Curve Size: 106.68 X 60.96 x 15.24 mm
Storm Size: 112.52 x 62.2 x 13.95 mm
iPhone 3G Size: 115.5 X 62.1 X 12.3mm
0.1mm wider and 1.65mm thicker than an iPhone 3G. That makes the Storm about the same as the iPhone 3G in size.
here are the size differences between the iphone and the storm. not much difference really
Storm: 4.4 x 2.41 x 0.54 (inches)
iPhone 3G: 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.48 (inches)
I was planning on buying this BB the moment it comes out but after reading this I want to get my hands on it right now! This is really gonna give the iPhone a run for its money and I can't wait!!!
BGR posted about two weeks ago that the price was going to be $199. Who knows if that will hold now that Android phone is cheaper?
but did it say that the phone COMES with an 8gb micro SD card already installed!? So im not going to have to pay a lot more $$ for the extra space!? wow that was my ONE hesitation and reluctance to getting this phone.... having to shell out hundreds more for space. Now i THINK thats not an issue :)
8 gb micro sd cards are not hundreds of dollars.
im most definitely picking this up when it drops. Very sleek looking phone.
Who cares about price!! lol At this point I'd pay just about anything for the Storm!!
All I can say is BEAUTIFUL!
Yes it is included. Plus it has 1GB built in. Not bad IMHO.
Someone pass me a towel please, I'm dribbling ;) Oh my it looks awesome :)
Hey dude, I am wondering how big it is? I have Pearl, it fit in my front right pocket good, I am hope it size as the Curve????? Please let me know!! Thanks, I really like that Storm!!!
Jay
Are you seriously asking this question? Three people posted the specs above and compare it to the iPhone and Curve specs. Please read the other comments before posting.

Hey all, not to say I did not believe all the post and everything but I received a flyer in the mail for the Storm now I beleive and I can not wait until I get it.
Anyone else notice page 11 is missing a number??? Quit holding out!!!
And an entire page 2 of the slides is missing! (page number in bottom right corner not engadget's numbering)
I'm glad it's not as thick as it looks!
No wifi????? thats a deal breaker! Using the 8320 now, and I cant see myself getting a phone without wifi!
i dont understand why people make a big issue about missing wifi. if u get a data plan and run the phone on 3g, it doesnt really matter whether u have wifi. maybe at home or office, but u have a computer there.
I think I see a lock button on the top (lateral) edge of the phone just like the Bold. There appears to be another button on the other top corner- any Idea what this might be?
I think that's the Play/Pause & Mute call button
