Since the release of the iPhone many handsets were dubbed as the “iPhone killer” and so far the only phone who managed to do that was the iPhone 3G (yeah, I know, this was not a good joke). Well, the HTC Touch Diamond and all other smartphones didn’t kill the iPhone, and it seems like the upcoming T-Mobile G1, the cellphone powered by Google’s Android will fail in the attempt to outsell Apple’s iPhone.

Well, as Nokia didn’t prepare anything to compete against Apple’s “jewel”, we should turn our attention to BlackBerry where we can see a lot of smartphones, but once again, nothing spectacular until RIM announced the Storm 9500.

Could this really be the iPhone killer? Let’s take a look to the spec list - 3.25-inch full touchscreen with high-res 480 x 360, 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus, 3G, wireless email, built-in GPS, landscape QWERTY keyboard, 3.5mm headphone jack, 625MHz processor, 128MB of flash memory with 1GB on-board memory and expandable MicroSD card, and finally BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry Maps among many others.

So, what’s your first impression? I think that this could really compete against the iPhone 3G, but first let’s wait for the BlackBerry Storm to be released as we don’t even when how much it will cost.
