Storm4 Development & Launch Details Leaked
By Hugh Jorgan - Buckeye News Service
An errantly addressed email has divulged the upcoming details of the release of the Blackberry Storm4 through an undislosed source.
It appears that the basis for the accelerated development cycle, is RIM's almost negotiated and finalized corporate takeover of "Body Glove". The Rodondo Beach, California company has a business unit specializing in mobile phone snap on cases. This appears to be the coup de grâce in the Storm4's development.
"We have, in conjunction with our partners at Body Glove, developed the finest product ever offered by RIM/Blackberry" details the correspondence. "We now possess the ability to apply a snap on Blackberry case to ANY model of Android, Window, Google or Apple iPhone model giving our customers the user experience that up to now, they have only dreamed about"
The apparent operating system for the Storm4 (identified in the email only as "Chameleon 2.3") is based on the recently disclosed "BB App Translator" The email continues, "The difficulty in getting the iPhone to look and behave like a true BB took an epic programming effort on behalf of our launch team and was by far the toughest hurdle we had to overcome, but we did it!"
"We have programmed as part of the "App Translator" from other platforms into the Storm4 the ability for the keypad to randomly freeze, "Uncaught Exception" errors to appear at least twice a day, the touch screen to frequently ignore being tactily stimulated and as part of the snap-on case, it is now even more difficult to do a hard restart, accomplished by obstructing the battery cover."
"The business model we have developed and implemented has been christened as ' Lag, Implode, Abscond & Retreat' (or LIAR for short)", chronicles the rouge email. "It will carry the BB Storm product line far into the coming years." As far as carriers for the launch of the Storm4, Sprint, Verizon, AT&T nor T- Mobile have any plans announced to carry the new bastion of the RIM/Blackberry line-up. "We expect people to clamor for the product and create a groundswell that the carriers cannot ignore" states the top RIM management at the close of the informative email.
