The Black Berry Storm has made an apperance to the public. The guys over at T3 got their hands on what it looks to be a prototype of the BlackBerry Storm. The Storm is RIM’s forthcoming handset that is supposed to contend with Apple’s iPhone popularity.

As seen on the picture below, the Storm is thicker than the iPhone but unlike Apple’s device, the Storm features a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with flash and video recording . On the left side of the phone a camera shutter is placed below the volume controls and the standard 3.5mm headphone plug. The software interface on the BlackBerry Storm is keeping the same design cues from the BlackBerry Bold.

The BlackBerry Storm features two on-screen keyboards. A full QWERTY keyboard can be used in landscape mode while in portrait mode a BlackBerry Pearl-like keyboard is displayed. So far, iPhone users will have something to crave for when the Storm is out, as Apple’s smartphone does not feature by default a wide-format keyboard when sending emails.
