RIM’s new touchscreen phone (technically the 9000), now called the Storm, is lined up to kill the iPhone the same way you can kill Dracula in Castlevania — you know he’s just going to come back in the next game.
RIM registered BlackberryStorm.com in 2007 and then grabbed the rest of the domains in 2008. RIM has been taking all sorts of interviews lately, stopping short of actually announcing the new phone, but Crackberry is so sure it will be the Storm that they’re running a naming contest. Head over to check it out.

Why must you taunt me like this, Biggs?
To this day, I still can’t beat Dracula in the original Castlevania, and it’s not from a lack of trying. That game has been haunting me for the better part of the last twenty years.

Orange Julius will reign down on RIM with hell and frozen drink deliciousness and take back the “Blackberry Storm” for pride and calorie counters world wide…
Nope, that didn’t make any sense. Funny RIM named it after a drink though. How many calories are in your Blackberry Storm? :)

Little Confusion here…
There’s 3 devices at play here:
9000 - Not Touchscreen, and that’s what contest is for (as think it will get a name like the Curve or Pearl).
9100 - That’s likely the newly named KickStart as broke by BG
TOUCHSCREEN phone - not sure on 9xxx, but that’s the one we’re saying is called the STORM (also running a contest - if were wrong, you get my old Curve).

Jordan is correct, and it’s the 9500, not the 9000 (that would be the BB Bold)

For all you At&t Iphone heads, you will appreciate a phone that can at least send sms pics. Or that a phone that is an actual 3g phone. We are not going to talk about the 3g iphone that only work 3g in 40% of the county. That is niether here nor there. This is going to be the next generation of touch. I probalby shouldn’t post this only because I’ve had the opportunity to play with it. Overall the device lives up to expecations. All you need to do is wait and see. All I have to say is 3g in reality is beautiful thing. Can’t wait until LTE! Yeah baby!

The worst thing aoub the i-phone is that you get stuck with crappy at&t as the provider. That is why i will never buy an I-phone!!!
