Details of Research in Motions Blackberry Storm have been leaked all over the internet, apparently from internal documents and a video presentation that shows how RIM intends to take on the mighty Apple iPhone.
The handset, which was previously referred to as ‘Thunder’, will reportedly be exclusive to Verizon in the USA and features a touch screen with haptic feedback and an interface the offers easy access to more consumer-focused applications.
The information appears in a “Talking Points” document, which was apparently distributed to employees prior to an official launch and an internal video that was supposed to remain a secret but is now readily available online.
Making the device exclusive to Verizon has surprised many, especially as the leaked document talks about being connected in “over 195 destinations world wide” which would indicate that the handset supports both CDMA and GSM technologies, however it looks like 3G is only supported on CDMA networks (EV-DO).
For a short time, the Verizon website was offering to take peoples email addresses and let them know when the Storm becomes available, however the page has been removed.
The video, ‘A Minute with Mike’, is hosted on vztvonline.com, a domain that’s registered to the same address as Verizon’s office. A YouTube version was on for a short while, but it was taken off quickly.
This could all be part of publicity stunt, it hard to tell, but the Blackberry Storm looks like it could be a pretty nifty piece of kit that could challenge for the iPhone’s crown.
