Research In Motion's apparent flawless execution in the release of the Blackberry Storm comes during, what might be called, the golden age of mobile platform with no less than five competing mobile platforms - Android, Apple, Microsoft, Symbian and RIM - vying for our attention.
Although RIM has around 20 million subscribers worldwide, a tiny fraction of mobile phone users, they are amongst the most sought as they are techno-savvy, cash rich and time poor.
The Blackberry Storm, RIM's latest addition to the growing family of Consumer oriented Smartphones, aims at getting RIM to the next level as it seeks to compete more globally with the other four existing platforms, all of which are competing for RIM's small but extremely valuable share.
And as one can guess, the Storm, RIM's first touchscreen smartphone has a few good for its users (ed: I started this article looking for weaknesses but couldn't find anything major).
(a) "Better-than-Haptics" Screen
Blackberry introduced some new nifty technology, literally, underneath the device's screen which reproduces feedback with more fidelity. Clickthrough, as it is known, offers true tactile feedback and feels and sounds like a true keyboard when a user types on the screen. This means that you will be able to write texts quicker and with less errors.
