NEW YORK (AP) - The company that makes the BlackBerry is
announcing a new product today, a touch-screen phone that'll be
going head-to-head with Apple's iPhone.
RIM, Research in Motion, is known for its e-mail-oriented phones
with thumb-operated keypads. The new model, called Storm, gives up
the keypad in favor of a iPhone-style screen, but with the
difference that the whole screen is backed by springs that react to
touch. Some iPhone users have complained that the glass screen is
awkward because it doesn't provide any tactile feedback. The Storm
does.
It will be available from Verizon Wireless in the U.S. and from
Vodafone overseas. The price hasn't been disclosed but RIM plans to
have it on sale before the holidays.
