What is it: Touchscreen smart phone with GPS and HSDPA
What we think: You'll either love or hate the Storm's clickable screen, so try before you buy
What you need to know

We like:
Crisp and sharp display; GPS and HSDPA; extensive media support
We don't like:
No Wi-Fi; a few interface bugs still need to be ironed out; camera doesn't always take good shots
You might also need:
SD card up to 16GB, Vodafone contract with data included
CNET UK judgement:
We commend RIM for entering the highly competitive touchscreen market with an innovative product, but there's still lots of room for improvement. Our experience with the Strom has driven us to the conclusion that it's not RIM's best device and while it has some redeeming features we think RIM can do much better in the future
