While Apple's humble market entry is mostly targeted at casual phone users, it also includes a number of business-friendly features—namely, push e-mail (a fancy way of saying you get your messages without delay). It was only a matter of time, then, before BlackBerry went on the offensive. In that vein comes the Storm, the brand's first touch-screen phone, which includes iPhone-beating functions like copy and paste, a video camera, and the brand's trademark flawless e-mail support. There are some major drawbacks, however: no Wi-Fi (blame the carrier, Verizon) and no trackball. (Selecting any icon requires two taps—one to highlight and another to confirm.) So while BlackBerry's first iPhone doesn't quite beat Apple at its own game, it might be enough to keep addicts from switching over.
