Technologizer —
... t (Joshua Topolsky): Going into this review, we really wanted to love this phone. On paper it sounds like the perfect antidote to our gripes about the iPhone, and in some ways it lives up to those promises — but more often than not while using the Storm, we felt let down or frustrated. Ultimately, this could be a great platform with a little more time in the oven, but right now, it feels undercooked — and that’s not enough for us.

Matt Buchanan said "I kind of came to hate typing on it" and called it "tiring". ...

Storm debuts to partly cloudy reviews
GMSV —
... iPhone, and the one place where everyone is sure they have an upper hand — that wow-inducing clickable screen — just isn’t all that great. For casual users, the learning curve and complexity of this phone will feel like an instant turn off, and for power users, the lack of a decent typing option and considerable lagginess in software will give them pause.

Though it launched marred by software glitches and to a chorus of middling to scathing reviews, Research in Motion’s (RIMM) BlackBerry Storm has actually sold fairly well. Certainly, it hasn’t stumbled as badly as some reports have suggested. Verizon (VZ) said this week that it’s sold 1 million Storm handsets since it first began peddling them in the states on Nov. 21. Now that’s a far cry from the One-million-sold-in-a-weekend -2.4 million-in- a-quarter sales of Apple’s iPhone 3G, but it’s a ...
