Just how bad is the Blackberry Storm?

Reader Hugh spotted this Storm review on the MoMo Forums and sent it to me:

“I have recently upgraded from Curve to Storm and the experience has been devastating so far, partly because of the immature firmware. As far as the clickable screen is concerned, I was expecting more (also in terms of quality of the components), but it is possible to get used to it. The clickable screen is surprisingly useful for navigating through lists and menus as every choice has to be confirmed by a click – no wrong menu selection by accident. But this is also the biggest drawback – it is effectively a 2 step process, touch and click, which makes fast typing absolutely impossible.

I was quite used to taking meeting notes with a Blackberry – that’s simply not an option with the Storm… It really needs an additional keyboard. Hope this helps.”

I’ve been trying to find a link but failing that, here’s the link to Mobile Monday London.

Now, I’ve not seen the Storm up-close-and-personal yet, other than admiring the Pocketlint chap’s one whilst we took a tour around the Nokia Test Lab recently. What’s your view on the Storm?
