Blackberry Storm struggles to compete against Apple iPhone 3G
Research in Motion has claimed that the launch of their new smartphone Blackberry Storm has been normal and as per expectations.
But the mobile phone suffered from problematic software which is being fixed by the company.
Market sources tells us that the company only managed to sell just half a million of this touchscreen Blackberry model in the final weeks of last year.
This is pretty small number compared to the iPhone units Apple sold in the same period.
RIM co-CEO Jim Ballsillie said in a statement that the company is manufacturing about 250,000 Storms per week. He also admitted that the phone shipped with buggy software but that is to be expected from the new generation phones which are much more complicated compared to previous generation phones.

What a shock. Another rushed-to-market iPhone killer bites the dust. The Storm almost makes Microsoft’s Zune look good. And that certainly takes some doing.
Apple’s Steve Jobs set the standard, and continues to stay on the same course: Forget about competing; just do what you do best. And you know what? If Apple wanted to do it, they could become one of the nation’s biggest banks right now. They have zero debt and more cash than any of us could possible spend in a lifetime.
What irks me most about the Storm is that so many people were so willing to bash reviewers who forewarned them that the Storm was a broken toy out of the box — perhaps the most notable reviewer is David Pogue — yet they not only bashed him and others who provided similar reviews, but then went out and bought one anyway.
Worse than this, is the so-called “reviewers” and self-reported Storm owners who, seemingly paid by the word, told us how much they loved their Storm; how much better it is than the iPhone; how much better it is than anything else available in the Universe. These people are not only reprehensible for their moral failings; they’re disgusting examples of what the most mean-spirited, most greedy and most despicable among us can be.
Stupidity sometimes kills people. Other times, it just helps people part with their money in a speedy fashion. But those who suffer from it ultimately get both.
