BlackBerry Storm is coming to Verizon 11/21/08 and makes us nervous about touch screens
So, according to the email yesterday that I received from Verizon, the new BlackBerry Storm 9530 will be released next week on the 21st. The phone will be 199.99 (mail in rebate of $50) w/ a 2 year contract and a little over $500 without one. It is RIMs first touchscreen phone and has a nice 3.2 MP camera. I won’t go into all the detail about the specs.
Needless to say though, being a BB user myself, I want this thing bad and cannot get one until my contract is up mostly because I am a poor college student. Anyways, a touchscreen may be just too dangerous for someone like myself anyways. I really do prefer having physical buttons. Having both would be ideal, like T Mobile’s G1 except with way more sex appeal.
I think that people are eventually just going to get tired of these touch screens. They are not faster to type on, and anyone who says they are is lying for sure. I could beat them any day on my SureType keyboard or even a full QWERTY (I love typing QWERTY, QWERTY). Anywho, I just really think that these touchscreens are a phase. I can’t imagine that they work “better” or “faster” than a full keyboard.
So, maybe I’m just a touchscreen hater. Or maybe I’m making myself a touch screen hater because I just can’t afford one. I’ll go with hater. Anyone out there hate touchscreens too? Or am I the only one? Better question than that though; is there anyone out there at all?
