Apologies in advance to everyone who is sick and bloody tired of all of the Storm coverage as of late, but something as highly anticipated as the Storm has to be covered, right? Leaked out today was the Vodafone Storm launch video and it’s easily one the hippest videos we’ve ever seen to launch a mobile phone. It covers all of the main features of the phone like it’s accurate typing, horizontal/vertical screen layout, 3.2 megapixel camera, preloaded IM and social network apps, HTML browwer, media player, and all of the other goodness that the BlackBerry brand bring to mind. The only bad thing about the video is the ending tag line of “Incredible Power In Your Hands.” We’re not even going to go there…

- BG: This video is fire. RIM, please don’t let Verizon muck up the U.S. version of it. Kthanks. Also anyone notice the BlackBerry Storm ads Verizon is running on BGR? No official announcement yet they have a whole ad campaign… funny.

    a little bit old, but nice to see the actual video instead of the bootleg.

    verizon prob will screw up the ad for it, so hopefully it’ll be RIM playing a US version later this week during the playoffs. I would hope Verizon is doing the internet ads, and leaked word of mouth crap. At least the weekly info sessions should be over as we know pretty much everything about the damn phone.

    BG… You better not be right about this phone cause i’m excited as hell right now. You need to make some more critical remarks though cause the comment sections are getting boring. JK

    no joke about this video being good. i had all but blown off this phone in favor of the G1, but now i just might have to test out this “clicking screen” device and a touchscreen BB OS in person before i make a real decision.

    p.s. who ever is producing these over at RIM has excellent musical taste. the italian leak had sam sparro, and this one rocks the simian mobile disco. excellent.

    Nice to see we still have some idiots posting on these boards. Way to make an informed opinion.

    Great marketing. You have to give it to RIM. Wonder if AT&T gives a damn with their constant delays with the Bold/network problems. If Verizon ran a GSM network I would be there in a heart beat.

    Any news on the web browser? Is it just an updated blackberry browser? It looks as such in the videos and pics I’ve seen. I do not think an Opera alternative will be available for the “touchscreen,” so are we stuck with the bb browser? I hope it is a good upgrade!

    Thanks Bob Sinclair and Kane317 you’ll get your chance soon when Verizon switches to LTE for their 4G network, which is GSM.

    The video is great and hopefully Verizon can follow suite and give us all something to dream about. Can’t wait for this phone.

    BG you’re right about Verizon not touching the phone because I would be highly upset. “We’re not even going to go there”….please go there…i’d love to see what you have to say lol.
