The BlackBerry Storm offers many of the same features found on the Apple iPhone and will be available exclusively on the Vodafone network. It will become available in Ireland next week.

Tariffs in Britain will start at £35 (€41) a month — the same as the iPhone’s — which includes unlimited internet browsing.
