Had a go of the Storm yesterday. Its really neat, the micro switch touch screen is the best. Much better than the iPhone IMO.

As with all cool stuff, battery life is abysmal.

As with all cool stuff, battery life is abysmal.

People want a large colour screen, 3.5G, push data, camera, media playback, etc.

They don't want to carry about a brick.

So you either have a short battery life or you get a less feature rich device.

I'm scratching the almost and going all out with admiration That's a ballsy advert. You have to wonder what puny percentage of Microsoft's advertising budget BB paid for this.

Fantatsic ad. and only 18 seconds long.

I died laughing.

Great ad, it's just a shame that the Storm doesn't quite live up to it's promise. Ended up with an Xperia in the end due to the Storm being a bit hit and miss (battery issues, signal problems, buggy software, no WiFi). If they make good on the promise of the Storm next time around (May i believe) then they're gonna have one hell of a device on their hands!
