No, its not. But people do not know this and that is why millions upon millions of iPhones have been sold. This phone WILL be compared to the iPhone...RIM will probably compare it FOR us at CTIA during a Jobs-like keynote. So to say that RIM made this phone solely because touchscreens are "nice" is totally wrong. They did it because of the iPhone. And dont tell me the Storm was in development before the iPhone was. Thats wrong.
