No one expected the BlackBerry Storm to sell for the same price as a budget-minded Pearl, but I don't think anyone expected RIM's first touchscreen phone to sell for this much either.

Although Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM) refuses to say so explicitly, the company has delivered to enterprises a viable alternative to the iPhone with the new BlackBerry Storm.

Ho-hum. Another BlackBerry. Bold by name, not so much by nature. Not that the new BlackBerry Bold isn't a fine addition to Research in Motion's (RIM's) best-selling line-up of smartphones.
