LOL!!!
I love RIM's strategy for calling the Storm 3, a Torch
Just call it a Torch and provide no explanation or reference to the name swap
Just pretend the Storm never existed
Love it!
Storm to Torch branding transition...... pretend it never happened?

It was odd to call a full touchscreen phone Torch when that brand is associated with the slider form factor. Thy should have come up with a new branding for it. Then again, maybe they want to wait for a QNX full touchscreen to do that. I can see why they wanted to avoid the Storm name though.

I still call it a Storm... Lol it does NOT at all fit the Torch's style... U can't just call a duck a swan...

@ Ashley - LMAO "Can't call a duck a swan"!!
Well let's hope that the duck swims as gracefully as a swan in this case and doesn't sink like a Rock the old Storm was!

I suspect this 'duck' has skills... Lol... It should def make a splash... But the whole 'let's call it a Torch" thing bothers me... Lol. We Have the Bolds - excutive, the 'business phones' made to msg. We have the Torch- the versitile all purpose phone made to msg and also do a lil more w/media and such w/its large screen, we have the Curves- the trendy and cute low end models, the BB for RIM virgins... They should have reinvented it w/a NEW name.. If they didn't want to call it a storm, at least be creative.. But to call it a Torch? Seems kinda like a lazy quick fix to me.. Lol

Honestly... every interview I have seen regarding WHY they chose the Torch name... hilarious.
There basically is no good explanation!
I get their decision.... I do... they want to save the new "brand" for the full touch QNX
its just funny seeing the dance around
