Storm Leaks



There's been a ton of leaked news about Verizon's newest phone on all the cellphone blogs.

On the train ride home I listened to a British podcast about cellphones call "MoDaCo". The podcaster was surprised he wasn't more thrilled about the HTC Touch Pro, which is the slide-out version of the HTC Diamond. He made the comment that maybe "slide-out" purists will stick to that form factor, but he liked having a smaller device, and found typing on the next generation of touch-screen phones to be acceptable. I wondered how the Storm will be accepted. Will it be a largely consumer group that buys this, or will business power-users forgo a tactile qwerty keyboard for a touch keyboard ala the Apple iPhone?
