This makes text input a slow and frustrating process as we constantly found ourselves not releasing the button (or screen if you will) before typing in a new letter.

If you recall, we mentioned on the previous page that the entire touch-screen acts as one physical button and in which case, you had to constantly press and release the screen with its associated virtual alphabet 'key'. In fact, we've shared this device with a number of colleagues and all felt that the input method was awkward.

While this may be possible to overcome with more time spent with the phone, the main problem with the Storm is that it requires you to press, hold and release a key before moving to select a new one. It took ages trying to hammer out a long SMS as we repeatedly selected the wrong letters, and moving our thumbs across the keyboard felt uncomfortable and awkward. While BlackBerry pats itself on the back for developing a unique on-screen keyboard technology called SurePress touch-screen technology that supposedly lets you type away on the screen as comfortably as you would on a physical QWERTY keyboard, this cutting-edge technology was far from what we expected.
