The BlackBerry Storm 2 is Research in Motion's second attempt at devising an iPhone-killer, but in rushing to join the touchscreen phone bandwagon the company has forgotten what made BlackBerry handsets so popular in the first place.
For consumers, the Storm 2, on sale in Australia from this month, will struggle to keep up with the iPhone and the soon-to-be-launched array of more advanced multi-touch devices such as the HTC Desire, Samsung Wave and Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10.
And business users accustomed to the QWERTY keyboards and long battery life of previous BlackBerry models may struggle to adapt to this new touchscreen model.
But before I begin, I must admit that I have been a CrackBerry addict since long before they had built-in cameras, apps, MP3 players and other features to appeal to the consumer market.
