Vodafone has become the first operator for formally confirm the ranging of the touchscreen Blackberry Storm.
It says the Storm is the result of a long term strategic alliance between Vodafone and RIM, and that it will be available exclusively on Vodafone's 3G network in Europe, India, Australia and New Zealand from next month.
The collaboration will lead many to assume this is a riposte to the hype around iPhone, which Voda allegedly wanted but failed to secure.
The BlackBerry Storm offers tactile 3.25" screen, the choice of using QWERTY, SureType or multi-tap keyboard, 480 x 360 pixel resolution, portrait to landscape switching (when the handset is rotated) and 3.2 megapixel camera. Apparently, it can even do cut and paste.
