We've been getting lots of traffic for Richard Wray's Hands on with the BlackBerry Storm, published on October 8, but there's a flood of new hands-on reviews with the Storm going on sale in the US tomorrow.
The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg has a review+video (BlackBerry's Storm Presses Into the Touch-Phone Fray) that refers to the iPhone and Google/HTC G1. Wired News gives the Storm 6 out of 10 in RIM's First Touchscreen Device Almost Eclipses the iPhone. ZD Net offers Hands On: The BlackBerry Storm, and is undecided. PC World isn't all that impressed, and goes for BlackBerry's Storm: Awkward and Disappointing. PC Magazine has a handy list of Your Top 20 Questions, Answered.
It might also be handy to have summaries written from the two main points of view: (1) People who actually use a BlackBerry for business and might be tempted to upgrade/downgrade from a keyboard/keypad to a touch screen; (2) ordinary consumers who have a choice between the Storm, iPhone, G1, HTC Touch and various other devices.
Well, there's also a (3) for people who think you should be able to use a phone with one hand, think it should actually be optimised for voice calls, and wonder why anybody would pay three times the price of a Nokia for a fashionable bit of tat. But they're probably not interested in reading Storm reviews anyway.
