StormWatch: Unboxing the BlackBerry Storm

Our Storm arrived today to thunderous applause (sorry, bad bad pun)

We thought we’d bring you the delights and treats of the unboxing ceremony, in an effort to share with you our pleasure or not as the case may be.

Think of it as Christmas come early; the tree is lit, the cracking of the fireplace, The Queen’s message playing in the background ..

Now the mood is set, we’ll begin.

The BlackBerry Storm about to be unboxed, drum roll please …..

The BlackBerry Storm unboxed, tadarrrr!

The BlackBerry Storm, powered up and all works well

The BlackBerry Storm, sending an email …

The BlackBerry Storm, music anyone?

The BlackBerry Storm, they’ve even thrown in the Remote Stereo Gateway …

That’s it for now folks.

After we’ve spend some time with it, well share our findings and thoughts
