Now that the Storm is officially released, someone should do the honor of taking the time to capture a quality image of the device and releasing it for use on Wikipedia. As it stands now, the RIM produced and copyrighted image is breaking fair use because it is more easily reproducible than it was at the time I originally posted it. If you do submit an image, please do Wikipedia a favor and clean your screen beforehand! Cbragg ( talk) 04:20, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Each review is both negative and poorly written, with typos, repetition and poor use of commas and pronouns (such as using the reviewer's name in every sentence instead of he/she/they). Some parts are almost unreadable and were too much for me to correct all at once. MASLEGOMan ( talk) 08:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I read through the all individual reviews referenced in the section in their corresponding websites and they all seem to say the same thing about the BlackBerry Storm. The crucial information were highlighted in the summaries. 206.53.144.94 ( talk) 20:56, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm all for neutrality and reviews, but the criticism section of this article is way out of proportion. A single review does not get a full paragraph in an article; at most a few sentences to summarize the review. See for example "critical reception" sections in films. nneonneo talk 19:43, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
The reviews section reads as if the person writing it wanted to aggregate all negative reviews into one place. I know there is some positive reception to this device too, but it's not there.- 69.122.86.88 ( talk) 04:21, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
THE CRITICAL SECTION IS OUT OF PROPORTION!!!!! 217.154.131.202 ( talk) 13:25, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm a huge fan of Blackberry brand and explicitly hate the iPhone, but I get the idea that the Storm's not that big of a hit. Nonetheless, dispute the neutrality, but don't vandalise.

I suggest eveyone to just dispute the section's neutrality. But don't vandalise. I can see some useful information in the section that might help some people.

Now it just feels all positive. I'm going to merge yours with the pre-removed.
142.1.181.222 ( talk) 16:55, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Now it feels much more balanced, I think. You get both pros and cons.

I'd like to point out that long Critical Reception sections are not appropriate for this article, especially given the length of the rest of the article. No single reviewer should get more than two or so sentences (this isn't policy, but it is based on what I've seen of several other such sections, and on "common sense" -- undue weight to the reviewer, or to the section as a whole results otherwise). Please see Wikipedia:Criticism, an essay on this. Anyway, I've edited it to conform more closely to the consensus of the reviewers. I believe it represents a fair view of the various reviews on this product. Feel free to reply below. nneonneo talk 02:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Let's face it, the first Blackberry Storm was a big flunk! 128MB for application memory, geez! Despite what you say about not being a review site, I believe people do look to Wiki to get information about a product; the physical specifications for example. They hope to find information that the marketing people don't tell us! It's perfectly reasonable that there is a Critical reception section, and it seems that most of the time there was a lot of negative issues with the Storm that outweighed the positive ones. 96.49.224.214 ( talk) 21:31, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Is it just me or is the term "haptic feedback" really overused in the article? The screen is a button. You press on the screen. It clicks in just like a button. Because it *is* a button. You don't see our article on Keyboard_(computing) use the term Haptic *once*, yet it's the same darn concept. Just wondering if anyone else thinks that in this particular case, "haptic" is 99.9% marketing jargon. -- Jmeden2000 ( talk) 14:51, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Any error in this table is my own; this content is ripped directly, with little value added, from the RIM web page [1] referenced in the article. I became frustrated marking up the hierarchical layout of this reference in Wikitable; ultimately I turned to the work of Borislav Manolov [2] to convert directly from HTML. I also used Magnus Manske's "slightly altered mirror" [3] of Manolov's script at some point in the building of this table. If this is the proper forum, I'd like to publicly and wholeheartedly endorse these tools. Their utility is unimpeachable and any error in the application of these scripts is my own.

Similar to the iPhone, this is not an entirely different phone, and it isn't even officially called the Storm 2, just referred to as Storm officially. A few features added and design polished a bit shouldn't have its own article. There are autombiles that have one article that have been changed a lot more than this phone over decades and they have only 1 article for the make/model. Ejfetters ( talk) 03:51, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Re: Merghe with Blackberry Storm 2 Agreed, this really is not a different phone(false). While there are a few important updates to the phone hardware, the phone still is the storm and should be on the Blackberry storm page(false - this is the Storm2, with VERY different hardware and features, and a different look! Do not merge!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.205.100.162 ( talk) 17:50, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
There are fundamental differences b/w the STorm and the Storm 2 just as there are b/w the Core Duo and the Pentium Dual Core iPhone and iPhone 3GS ad infinitum..
However it could be argued that because of their similarities, they could be in one article. I take the alt view that two articles would suffice as the fundamental difference is that the operation is significanly different, The Storm 2 is to the Storm as what Windows 7 is to Vista 90.192.59.155 ( talk) 06:45, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
I think the EVDO issue needs to be cleared up. Which models have EVDO, which don't, and what effect that has on those models. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.241.202.243 ( talk) 20:01, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
