BlackBerry Storm makes the grade

Keith Shaw, Network World's resident gadget guy, makes no bones about being a big iPhone fan, so his newly posted review of the BlackBerry Storm should carry a little added weight for those considering one of the latter:

In the less-than-24-hours that I've had the device and have been able to do a basic set of tests on the BlackBerry Storm (on sale Friday, Nov. 21, for $199.99 after $50 mail-in rebate and two-year agreement), I can say that people who abhor the Apple iPhone will be able to grab a Storm and go, "Nyah Nyah Nyah" to their fellow iPhone owners. But I don't expect that large mobs of iPhone owners will suddenly switch gears to the Storm, either (they can't, they still have their own two-year contracts). But the Apple Haters now have a horse in the race - the Storm does an admirable job of matching several of the iPhone's features and provides some features that the iPhone doesn't have.

Now if it could only replace my wallet ...
