If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video must be worth a million... or something like that. Anyways, I'm pretty sure this is one of the first videos out there that compares the BlackBerry Storm to the BlackBerry Bold to the Apple iPhone 3G. Take a look! And remember where you saw it first!!

You're killing me!
So come on, when is the ACTUAL release date for the Storm!?? I've heard Nov 4, 16, 18 and even later. When the @$!@ will I be able to go into Verizon and buy one!!
Nov 15, I work for verizon
I also work for VZW, I am in Retail Management. We just received communication from our higher ups. (District Man. Regional Pres. and Area Pres.) That all store employees are REQUIRED to work on the 9th for the launch of the Storm. They are expecting a huge turnout, (i guess similar to the waiting in line for the iPhone when it launched) I know it seems odd to be launching it on a Sunday, but i write the schedule at my store, and ALL the Sales Reps will be working that day. So, i guess that the 9th will be the magical day!!!!! Can't Wait!!
I started a 30 day trial on 10/13th with the Curve 8330. Am I thinking I should ship it back before that date and get the Storm. Any thoughts about the differences? And is the 9th really the true date?
I did the exact same thing on the exact same day. In my case I had to have a phone and I knew I wanted either and a touchscreen phone. I decided to try the Blackberry Curve because I had intentions on buying the Storm regardless. I just hope they have it in store before the 13th of November!!
The storm is such a good looking phone.
and that screen?
wow....all I can say.
So where’s the prerelease review
Now I want to hear your opinion of it! Just open the floodgates of your coverage already lol!
can you give us a time that you are planning on posting the entire review? I really don't want to spend most the day in front of my computer.
I'll hold off on any more videos until the full review post is up. Check back early tomorrow morning. :)
Update: More like afternoon.... got hung up with a few things this afternoon/evening. Grr..sorry for the delay folks.
Well now, just because we all want to hear your review on it doesn't mean we would like the videos to stop. :)
How about late tonight???
Come on your killing me...
Your turning me into a degenerate. You said this morning...Where is the review?
???
I like how the home screen on the BB Storm changes when the phone is in landscape mode.
Also, did anyone notice, it looks like the iPhone frooze, the home screen is stuck in the middle of two - :P
Also, there was no lag in the transition like the previous vids.
i'm not sure it froze, it is actually possible to make it stop like that by holding down on an icon to induce the waggle while between two home screens and then pressing the home button. the icons stay as they are until the screen is touched.
Correct. If you look closely, you can see that the iPhone is in the mode to move icons.
is there a way to search the vid on youtube? at work and cant watch it on my desktop but i can watch it on my phone :)

i want the storm way more than the iphone. Any word on a price yet?
Retail price is $599 at store price will be either $219 with a $70 mib or $249 with a $70 mib+
MIB?
i beleve what was ment is MIR .. Mail In Rebate ..
It's like looking through the window of your hot neighbor getting undressed. Not that . .. er. . uh.. I would do anything like that.
I almost get mad that I don't have one. [deep breath] soon...my son...soon.
...mad that you don't have a hot neighbour who undresses in front of open windows? or a blackberry storm...?
I went to my VZW rep and the put me on some list to a private showing of the Storm, and he said they are only allowing going to invite whatever amount of devices they are recieving. Then he took down my name and number and said it will be around the 16th of November. Has this happened to anyone else????
Over the past couple weeks, I have spoken to numerous VZW employees in different stores and none of them have informed me of this...
Today, I was put on a "Verizon Blackberry Storm Waiting List" by a VZW employee. Not sure if this is a store-specific thing, but make sure you are on one if you want the Storm at arrival...
I guess I better get on verizon's waiting list now!!!
Wow, I didn't realize it before but the Storm looks considerably smaller than the iPhone. And it definitely holds it's own on sexiness.
OK - so I just called my local store. They do have a "list" to put your name on. Here's what the guy told me:
1. Release date is Nov 16 (subject to change)
2. He will call me on Nov 11 to confirm the date and other information.
3. Payment info is not yet available
He also told me to tell all my friends who are interested in the phone to call their store and get their name on the list!!!
Called a couple of stores in Downtown San Francisco and they told me "First come, first served".
The new Bold and Storm look great and the screens look good to but the multimedia on the iPhone is still way ahead of either of these phones. I use both iPhone 3G and Curve but for viewing documents and websites, until I see the bold and storm up close, iPhone hands down. Sorry crackheads its imo
the storm looks sweet as hell, but i would much prefer it if the entire thing were darker. the silver lining on the side seems a bit too flashy for my taste. maybe if the silver lining were just toned down a bit. or better yet, if the silver lining were replaced with a dark gray brushed metal piece (kind of like the swappable battery covers they were showing). that would look REALLY nice. oh well, i'm still going to buy it.
Put a case on it and you wont see the silver lining
A few days ago on cnet, the Android (ugly thing that it is) beat the "Holy Then Thou" Iphone 3G as well. Head up crap-ple, nobody is on your heels anymore, they are stepping all over you.
BlackBerry all the way.
The STORM looks soo sexy, and so does the BOLD...forget that plastic back on the iPhone.
The Storm looks a lot better than the iphone.
I can't get over how good the screen looks on the Storm...
and I love how the on-screen buttons are transparent so you can see the background in it's entirety; looks amazing.
Maybe just one more video today Kevin? Pretty Please?
What a waste of a comparison. If your going to brag about a side by side comparison try actually showing performance of the different devices. By now everyone and their dog know the difference in size but what we are all waiting for is the device shoot out to watch the iPhone go down in flames. IMHO
Performance comparisons will happen when the Storm hits the market. Doing a comparison vid while the Storm is still running pre-release code isn't a truly a head to head test yet. And there were precious few minutes to get this vid footage captured - lucky to have it at all.
Tell ya what - you grab a Storm and iPhone 3G today and record a head to head shootout and I'll be happy to embed it up here in the blogs for all to see.
In the meantime, I changed the title of the blog post for you a bit. Happy? :)
Having a rather large corporate account, and waiting for the Bold myself... My account rep says there was news passed to some ATT employees of November 4th for the Bold.
Doesn't look as elegant as the iPhone..
Lets see what kind of a workhorse it can be
Sideways thumb typing - bring it on!
If its too much of a heavy brick - Javelin here I come
Over at blackberrynews.com they state Bestbuy has documents stating that the Strom is gonna go for $699.99 without contract. So Kevin what do you thing about that? With a 2 year contract the phone will be $300 to $400 thats to much compare to the Iphone.
Verizon sheep will gladly pay whatever price they have to.
You need to realize one tiny detail... and that is the fact that Best Buy always sells the phone outright for around $100 dollars more, so it makes 5-6 hundred dollars sound more sound more around the actual price of the device.
by the way they state that a Nov. 16 release date aswell
couldnt help but notice the bold getting pushed out pretty early there.....the runt of the litter :( storm really doesnt look as elegant as the iphone, although it may well be heaps more practical. be ineresting to see a head to head review of all 3 from a site thats not biased either to iphone or blackberry.
