Vodafone debuts BlackBerry Storm 9500

We're still waiting on Verizon to stop teasing us about this thing, but Vodafone (who's been hinting at the phone since last month) just announced the BlackBerry Storm, RIM's touchscreen flagship. As if you didn't know already, Vodafone is confirming a 3.25-inch 480 x 360 touchscreen, 3.2 megapixel camera, automatic orientation flipping, 1GB of built-in storage and a host of multimedia capabilities, including iTunes sync.

Wasn't there an article recently saying that RIM is sticking with the "Storm" for all versions of the phone?

I have the phone, and i swear to God it sucks big moose balls.. The Browser is super slow, and is nothing compared to the Iphones Safari. Its also slow with rendering anything. I dont know whats the big deal about this phone.. Just the touch factor. Other blackberrys blow this shit out of the water. Tomorrow i am returning it.. Its so freaking stupid. The hype was exactly that just hype.
