The storm is a hit?

Either someone has dropped an s, or Europe has different standards. I must admit I haven't seen one yet, but the Storm has been crucified over here. Folks are pretty much saying it doesn't work.

The BB Storm launch is perhaps the worst product launch in recent memory! Where was RIM's forecast for initial sales? To wait for the phone next month is absurd and will certainly make consumers reconsider the iphone.

Storm is not a hit and RIM did miss

i have just read the link from the annonmou person in boston, which says the storm has got the thumbs down from the UK, however i work in a store at vodafone, and i can tell you right here that the handset has so many sales that our store alone (all be it a small one) has many more orders to fulfil as and when stock becomes available, it has sold far better than any other phone at launch, and yes there are some teething problems, yet with the batteries, it is all about common sense, because you can have so many apps running at the same time, this will reduce power the more that are open, such as the media player, even if it is only open and not playing, it still uses the same power as if it was playing, but we have a storm demo phone in store, and we charge it every night, and use it all thru the working day, i have never had to recharge it mid day, so ours is over 8 hours moderate use, which is the same for all our store demo phones.

> reviews that were “generally positive, but by no means spectacular.”

Hmm, I must have been looking in the wrong places, because all the reviews I saw were universally negative about the device.
