\"storm2-horizontal\"<\/a>I just got off the phone with jkOnTheRun’s Kevin Tofel<\/a>, and like every other geek, we were talking about Droid and its impact on the market. We were both wondering if Motorola’s release today of its Verizon-focused Droid handset killed the BlackBerry Storm2, the new version of the touchscreen device which also launched today<\/a>. My argument is that Droid and other Android-based devices are much closer to the BlackBerry and, thus, are a bigger threat to the Canadian giant than they are to Apple. One of our commenters thought so as well<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RIM has sent us its latest device for review. I think it’s very brave to do that, because I have not necessarily been shy about my view of Storm<\/a> and its touchscreen. I am going to play around with this and give you my first-hand impressions. What are your thoughts? Do you think Google’s Droid leaves RIM hurting?<\/p>\n

Hat tip to Ronak for the Storm vs Android chart link on Google Trends.<\/a><\/p>\n
