Blackberry Storm Needs Bailout And A Stimulus Package

Mitchell Ashley writes why RIM’s BlackBerry Storm smartphone is such a disappointment.

“(The BlackBerry Storm is) really a device that’s not ready for prime time. Why is the Blackberry Storm such a huge disappointment? The Storm does not do what it says it will do, at least not a reliable basis, and sometimes not at all. The Storm’s UI is very slow and sluggish to respond. Do the economy a favour and buy a device that actually increases productivity, not stifles it like the Storm does.”
