BlackBerry Storm video proves RIM hates confidentiality, or they just want to leak crap
“You’re invited to a secret presentation on the upcoming BlackBerry Storm. But just remember, we at RIM don’t care about company secrets any more, so you Italians in the audience should feel free to blatantly hold your camera phone above your head and film the entire thing.” Seriously, RIM, is this what you’re going to be like from now on? We all know that you have a touchscreen device in the 9500 and 9530 Storm, but you just have to make life difficult for all of us and make a half-assed attempt at keeping it secret, don’t you? We’re speaking from the BGR team here, but when so much stuff about a phone leaks before there is a public press release, you have to start thinking the words “controlled” and “leak”. Anyway, the latest in a shamefully long parade of leaks is a video presentation given to an Italian audience. It’s pretty nicely done and gives great insight into how OS 4.7 will work on a touchscreen device. Hell, it made us want one.
…boys boys boys… Can’t we all just get along?
I have to say that i am continually amused by the girlish and catty antics that people have when they comment. BG totally has a point, perhaps some of the things he post are inflammatory so all you guys get the stand on your soap boxes and vent… over something that isn’t released yet, who released it, blah blah blah…
I think you all should load up on the paxil and wait for the phone to come out, and i agree with BG… i hope verizon doesn’t fuck this up.
I also imagine as i read this that you all have nerdy nasally voices just to it enhances my amusement!
BG, you are the king baby!
Evilhomer I do agree with you on the defending BG aspect because people do go in a bit too harsh on criticizing him. And I as well would defend you if people were on here being assholes to the point of idiocracy and for that I like your sense of camaraderie. I was just pointing out, though, that RIM and Verizon or Vodafone never had any press conference or outright announcement for this device but we only found out about it through sites like this. Because of that reason you cannot get mad when they finally start releasing official videos and pics three weeks away from its release (What a VZW rep just told me minutes ago) and they are about to make an announcement to the general public soon as well. That is far cry from the Bold incident, I think, which is all over the world and still not on AT&T.
@ tcdizzle: You hope Verizon doesn’t fuck it up, or you hope RIM doesn’t fuck it up? Verizon isn’t the OEM! As long as they don’t lock it down they should be off the hook!
