You can put away the knives and the screwdrivers, thanks to Brian at CES911. He performed what he calls the "torture test" on the BlackBerry Storm. It appears the screen on the Storm is resistant to scratches. I wouldn't rush to put your Storm in your pocket with a set of keys, but this is encouraging news for the longevity of your BlackBerry. Anyone want to put the Bold to the test?

The BlackBerry Storm released just over a week ago here in the US on Verizon Wireless and represents a major departure from what we’ve come to expect from a BlackBerry. Gone is the QWERTY keyboard, replaced with a super large 480x360 pixel display  and a new clickable screen or what BlackBerry likes to call SurePress. Is it enough to leave your current BlackBerry or perhaps prevent those who were considering a jump to the iPhone? Read on for our comprehensive review of the BlackBerry Storm.

There is speculation over at BGR that RIM pushed flashed a non-final version of the Storm OS (4.7.0.65) after they found a potential security issue with the final release (4.7.0.82). This would certainly make sense as early speed tests show significant lag time and major issues with the accelerometer. Rotating from landscape to portrait mode takes entirely too long. Not to worry, as Mobility Today is reported that an OTA update is set to hit Monday. So much for the quiet after the Storm. Okay, I'm done with the puns.

According to a Verizon CSR, the BlackBerry Storm is sold out. Verizon is reportedly telling customers that Storm stock will not be replenished until December 5th. Best Buy is filling their pre-order sales today, so their official on-sale date is tomorrow. If you are storm chasing, your best bet might just be Best Buy.
