Well, while we are still waiting for the Blackberry Storm in the U.S. from Verizon, (and bunch of people are actually pre-ordering online from various different stores) Phones 4U has announced that they will be partnering up with Vodafone UK to provide the Storm in the UK:
I have previously noted how much I like Blackberries and I’d rather get the Blackberry Bold but since I haven’t tried the touchscreen version myself, I guess it will simply be a matter of time before the verdict hits the streets.

The stylish smartphone boasts excellent performance with rich features including 3G network support, built-in GPS, a 3.2 megapixel camera with variable zoom, auto focus and a powerful flash that also provides continuous lighting when recording video.

You don’t need to be tied to the computer to update your Facebook page, chat on popular instant messaging services or add pictures online. The BlackBerry Storm comes with an incredible selection of downloadable applications so you have the freedom to stay in touch with friends and family while on the move.
The BlackBerry Storm is a multimedia powerhouse, with a built in media player that can handle a number of music and video formats. It can even be synchronised with your iTunes® collection* so you can enjoy your music on the move or you can sent it wirelessly through the BlackBerry® Remote Stereo Gateway to enjoy songs through your home stereo.
