There’s a new BlackBerry Storm commercial running on the major major networks. They show a closeup of a hand on the Black Berry Storm using the keyboard and also rotating it from portrait to landscape while the screen automatically changes.
You never clicked a screen before.
Is that supposed to happen?
Is it supposed to feel so right?
It feels like a keyboard, just no keys.
What kind of mad genius is behind this?
(Shot of Verizon crowd.)
Oh right.
