I love blackberry's and have used them as well as other devices and still prefer the blackberry. I've followed reviews on the storm closely as I would consider upgrading. But i think the anger at pogue is mis-directed. I'm sorry but Pogue is hardly alone in mainstream or alternative media. while the Storm gets a few positive reviews the shortcomings of the device are widely panned and the Pogue review is not nearly the worst. I will hold final judgement until i've tried the phone myself but don't pretend this phone is the victim of an unfair review from a pro-apple guy. I'm afraid any honest asessment would find that is wishful thinking by those who don't want to hear any negatives.

The Storm has allot of appealing features and like the previous comment I think he (Pogue) needs to proof read his reviews before publishing them. If he has a view on its short comings of the device then so be it but just to bag if for the sake of bagging it. Looking for a headline to me! What an unprofessional review.
