Stephen Fry has a rep for being both a gadget fan (specifically smartphones) and a big Apple fan boy. Today Fry gave his first thoughts via twitter about the storm, and they weren’t very good
Here are the main bits from Stephenfrys’ twitter:
“Been playing with the BB Storm. Shockingly bad. I mean embarrassingly awful. Such a disappointment. Rushed out unfinished. What a pity.
Yes, I blame n’works more than RIM. Problems are terrible lag: inaccurate t’screen, awful, slow and fiddly text input. I SO wanted to like it.
Plus the GPS maps won’t work – issue with BIS connections. I see from forums postings this is widespread in the UK. iPhone killer? Ha!”
So whilst Fry has apparently “never met a smartphone he hasn’t bought” he also bought the second Mac in Europe so some are suggesting typical Apple fanboy (put down everything else that *isn’t* Apple 
We don’t see any of that, simply Fry saying the Storm is a bag of arse?
