We have heard so many Apple iPhone vs. BlackBerry Storm debates; we have read the reviews comparing them and also seen the hands-on videos showing the differences close up. Now let’s just get down to the basics.

While most modern cell phones do a lot more than make phone calls, some things are expected right out of the box and one of them abilities is to send picture messages. If you do not plan on using the iPhone as a phone for texting (put joke here) or sending picture messages then I guess you will have no problem with the iPhone.

The fact is you cannot even send a picture message with an Apple iPhone and that’s a complete joke for a so called phone, this is coming from an iPhone owner. If you have used an iPhone for many days you will both love it and hate the way you view a picture message.

Yes the iPhone is amazing and at the same time the Blackberry Storm has every chance of wiping the floor with the iPhone. Blackberry’s are followed by millions and maybe it’s taken a touch screen (the first from RIM) to get people moving to it from the iPhone.

In the technology age we live in it’s great to capture videos and watch them, it’s almost a necessity today with our high-end phones. The Blackberry Storm captures video just fine but the iPhone does not, this is another major problem that needs fixing with Apple’s phone or the Storm will surly beat it down. Two simple abilities every high-end phone should have and the iPhone does not have.

Since the launch of the Apple iPhone 3G we have not seen such demand for a cell phone until now, the Blackberry Storm from Research In Motion (RIMM) has created a massive demand for the latest BlackBerry Smartphone.

This could be down to the Storm being the first touch screen phone from RIM, the great marketing or even because F1 driver Lewis Hamilton has one already. It’s anyone’s guess, but the demand is there and it looks like it will not be filled.

Vodafone (VOD) may be the largest mobile phone group in the world (revenue), but even this massive service provider cannot meet the demand for the new Blackberry Storm.

Today we hear that Vodafone may have a problem with giving enough Blackberry touchscreen phones to customers who want it; I guess it’s good to be honest. But where does that leave the customer? Hit the read link below for more details.

A new video which was taken at the Adobe MAX conference has showed the T-Mobile G1 with Flash 10 running on it which means good news for all you owners out there.

In the demo shown, it displayed interactivity, full zooming and panning on the G1, so it appears that Google phone users will not have to wait as long as some of the other phones out on the market. At the moment Apple’s iPhone is not able to view Flash, and there has been no word on support for BlackBerry either.

Seems like Blizzard Entertainment have something to celebrate, as their latest game World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King sold more than 2.8 million copies in its first 24 hours of release, as a result making it the fastest selling game for the PC of all time.

It was no surprise that this update was going to do well, as the previous record was held by another Blizzard title, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. Those games managed to sell 2.4 million copies in its first 24 hours.

It seems that whatever Blizzard touch at the moment it turns to gold, and with Diablo 3 still in development, that is another title that should do very well. I’m sure that World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King will keep selling well this side of Christmas.

On Friday the BlackBerry Storm, Verizon and RIM’s answer to the Apple iPhone stormed into the public arena, and as you would expect the blogsphere and newspapers were storming with BlackBerry Storm news. So let’s take a quick look at a few of the top ones…

First up we have Walt Mossberg. The Wall Street Journal. BlackBerry’s Storm Presses Into the Touch-Phone Fray: Mossberg likes the high-resolution camera which does video, the replaceable battery, the ability to cut-and-paste, the push e-mail, the corporate security features and Verizon’s 3G network which is an improvement over AT&T’s. but disliked the so-called SurePress touchscreen.

Next is Yardena Arar. PC World. BlackBerry’s Storm: Awkward and Disappointing: who basically say that Research In Motion’s decision to go with the Storm’s capacitive touch screen is way too confusing than helpful. Ultimately, the Storm’s touch interface feels like a failed experiment.

Then we have BGR The Boy Genius Report. Verizon BlackBerry Storm review: who say that the good thing is that the Storm is a BlackBerry and once past the initial hiccups it will be a great smartphone with excellent email and good media player.

Engadget’s Joshua Topolsky is next with BlackBerry Storm review: who goes on to say, The Storm is gorgeous, designed and backed by RIM it incorporates features that on first glance not only make it seem as good as the iPhone but better. Only hiccup is it’s not as enjoyable or as consistent as the Apple iPhone.

Finally, Daniel Dumas. Wired.com. RIM’s First Touchscreen Device Almost Eclipses the iPhone: who states, WIRED Click screen is a revelation, converts iTunes to BlackBerry media, GSM card means the Storm is a globetrotter. Posh fit and finish. But a tired OS lag, scrolling through menus is jagged pokey and slow, lack of WiFi is lame and even lamer is control by Verizon.

There’s the professional views, what about the Storm’s owner, what do you think?

Blizzard is certainly working hard, they have just recently launched World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King, but they do not have time to stop as they are still working on Diablo 3. For those who have been missing news on Diablo 3, Blizzard has released some new images.

Although these images are not entirely new, they are still great to tease us a little. The two screenshots that you see over at BlizzCast were even shown before BlizzCon 2008 got them, and they look truly amazing.

Like we said the images have all been seen before, but these are now showing in a higher quality, so you should be able to see more detail. When you have just about had enough of World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King that is when you start to get hungry for Diablo 3 information again.

Research In Motion, makers of the BlackBerry phones have posted some useful information on their support forums which will help new users with how-to steps and tips regarding the new BlackBerry Storm.

The story over at Phonesreview said that all this information is stored on a .pdf file and will cover navigation topics such as zooming, scrolling, highlighting and many more.

There are also different sections which will give you information on songs and video help, so if anyone is having any issues with their BlackBerry, you can just view this pdf and it should sort you out.

If you are planning on buying a BB Storm, take a read of this guide first, it is very useful. You can view more details and some pictures over at Phonesreview.
