You know you need a new PC when a phone has as much memory as your computer does. I still know a few people who run a Pentium 4 or an Athlon 64 with 512MB of memory.

Until a year ago, I had no idea my cousin + uncle were still playing Everquest on the P3's I built for them in 2001/2...

But on-topic - What do we know about the Storm3? I have a Storm1 that's still working great, but will very soon under-go the knife and transform into something else 😉 I plan to skip the Storm2 because I don't like the on-screen integrated buttons. And for the keypad of the torch: it's not for me...
 
More important that the Torch hardware will be the addition of the Torch-Webkit-based browser in the new OS. [:mousemonkey:3]

It's the browser and OS that was lacking in previous generations, not the hardware.

The Storm could've been a great device but it was saddled with glitchy firmware and a browser worthy of a WinMob5 phone. [:thegreatgrapeape:5]
 


Actually it was Crackberry that did it. And contrary to Jane's statement, they didn't have to sacrifice a Torch for it, which is stated right in the CB article;

"..don't normally happen until the new device is available for commercial purchase and somebody is crazy enough to sacrifice it to the tech gods. In the case of the BlackBerry Torch 9800, however, we've already got the goods and nobody had to risk their phone."



They also mention: "With all the attention given to attenuation these days you may be curious to see what the Torch's design looks like (hint: it's like a bumper that attaches to the board).." [:jaydeejohn:5]
