“So who's going to buy the Storm? Any of Verizon Wireless' 69 million subscribers who want a touchscreen smartphone and want to stick with Verizon (VZ)...Anyone who wants a touchscreen smartphone and whose company uses BlackBerry for their mobile email”
“So who's going to buy the Storm? Anyone who wants a touchscreen smartphone and cares more about email than Web browsing, games, multimedia, etc. Anyone who hates Apple (AAPL), AT&T (T), Sprint (S), and/or T-Mobile.”
“This will be the most important phone in Verizon's lineup, and from the looks of it, the best. Some people will hate ClickThrough—it's not a perfect solution, but it's genuinely innovative and really damn good.”
“Combining the Storm’s feature set and its carrier customer base, along with AT&T’s forthcoming Nov. 4 launch of Bold, Storm is lining up to be the “stealth” contributor to sustaining BlackBerry in its smartphone market leadership position, with a low-key, performance-based approach to the market”
“Why is the Storm important? RIM can use the Storm to rally telecom carrier support–especially among those left out of the iPhone launch. The Storm will define how RIM is viewed among consumers. The Storm may be able to thwart any enterprise momentum gained by Apple’s iPhone.”
“RIM hasn't done an overhaul to make touchscreen viable, instead banking on its navigation/execution paradigm to make the transition to touch -- which for the most part it does brilliantly...when it comes to browsing, media playback and other forms of consumer-friendliness, RIM still has a ways to go”
“We wouldn’t call the Storm perfect, but it clearly enhances RIM’s position with improved features, functionality and user experience. With strong carrier support this holiday season, we believe the Storm fundamentally changes the game for RIM.”
“It features innovative haptic feedback for typing on the touchscreen keyboard. This device could be the answer to the pressure many CIOs are feeling from executives asking for iPhone support on the corporate network.”
“The Storm is not an iPhone killer, nor is it intended to be. RIM's emphasis is on e-mail and business applications, and its products are designed to be managed by corporate technology departments. Like its predecessors, the new BlackBerry is aimed squarely at mobile executives.”
