Settling in with the BlackBerry Storm

The holidays are over and everyone’s back to their daily grind. Those of you out there who were lucky enough to get the BlackBerry Storm over the holidays must be settling in nicely with your new RIM device. It takes a while to get used to but once you master it, it might as well replace your best friend right?

Interestingly enough, I must say that the BlackBerry Storm is still generating a lot of buzz. Part of the reason is because this is the first device that RIM has launched with a pure consumer market in mind. Business is business and this device can serve as a workhorse but when it comes to web browsing, multimedia, music and more, the BlackBerry Storm seems to be a winner in everyone’s book.

The other reason it’s still generating a buzz is the way in which Verizon Wireless has tackled the marketing of the hot touch screen phone. They are selling this one for an amazingly low price and for someone who is looking for a new contract or is getting ready to renew, it is a great product with amazing technology for a fraction of what it really costs. 

Regardless of critics, the BlackBerry Storm is here to stay and will be a major device for 2009 to compete with the iPhone and the G1 (and whatever else is expected to launch this year). 

So, like I said, if you’re one of the lucky ones to have gotten a Storm recently, enjoy your device. By now, you must be a pro at it and probably forgotten all about how difficult it was to get used to in the beginning.

And don’t forget to protect your new smartphone with a case or keep its battery life extended….
