Blackberry Storm: Top 5 YouTube Reviews

PC World bring us the five most popular, insightful and interesting BlackBerry Storm YouTube video reviews:

5. Kyle: This Is the Best Verizon Phone. Period.

Kyle (jameskm03) loves the Storm's new touch screen and its camera ("The 3.2-megapixel camera is MONEY!"), but he hates that the phone doesn't support Wi-Fi. This guy knows his stuff on the Blackberry and its operating system, and his review of the new smart phone is pleasantly (and impressively) insightful and balanced. As he says (twice), "I'm not gonna lie to you..."





4. College Boy: This Is Not an iPhone Killer

Here's the counterpoint to #5. Once this guy (mdscinto) finally gets rolling into his rant (just FF to about 1:15 in the video, where he starts hitting his stride), he touches on many of the major criticisms of the Storm that are now making the rounds among tech critics and Apple fanboys/girls: uncomfortable typing motion, slow OS, no Wi-Fi, etc., etc. So here he is on the dorm-room cam, making art not war...





3. "Gorgeous, Sexy, Amazing"

I've watched this video from "gotenkslovesme" about five times now--never mind that the video's oriented sideways for undisclosed reasons. Though this wee slip of a lass is no Walt Mossberg, I just can't get enough of her heavy Scottish brogue, especially when she says: "It's the first ever clickable touch screen..." Wow.




2. BlackBerry Storm vs. iPhone

This is the most-watched BlackBerry Storm review on YouTube right now, with 271,301 views (at this writing). The reviewer, Jon Rettinger (jon4lakers), pits the Storm side-by-side on a table top against the 3G iPhone to make his comparison more vivid. The matchup includes a download speed test (cool) that Verizon's EvDO network wins handily.




1. From a Bunker in the Suburbs

This young guy, "themacfan45", caught a lot of flak in comments on YouTube responding to his review of the BlackBerry Storm. But PC World has his back. Good review, my bespectacled friend, and keep 'em coming. Someday you may grow up to be a highly paid hot-shot tech journalist like me and David Pogue. Just lay off the cough syrup, okay? It might help with your delivery.
