PC Mag's own Sascha Segan has devoted the last few days of his life to RIM's latest handset. The new Blackberry Storm features a large touchscreen that, unlike most of its competitors, actually clicks--no haptic feedback here, the thing actually reacts when you touch it (my own limited time with the device reminded me a bit of the feedback from iRiver's Clix device).

Segan liked the aforementioned screen, the fast Internet connection, and the high quality GPS and media player that ship with the device.

So, why'd the handset only get three stars? The handset was surprisingly buggy for starters. Also, Segan has little love for the device's accelerometer and QWERTY keyboard.

Check out the full review at PC Mag. Segan doesn't mention the iPhone--too much.
