Stephen Fry slams the BlackBerry Storm

 
Can a middle-aged comic actor kill off a high-profile mobile phone? Well, if that person is Stephen Fry, quite possibly. Fry has been giving the BlackBerry Storm a good kicking, verbally of course, via his Twitter blog, describing the potential Apple beater as 'Shockingly bad', 'embarrassingly awful' and finally ' iPhone killer? Ha!'. It doesn't look like he'll be trading in his iPhone any time soon. Fry himself doesn't believe he can kill off a phone with a few pointed phrases, describing himself to the BBC as nothing more than a 'passionate amateur', but couldn't resist a final dig, saying: '...Play with the Storm for two days as I have and you will admire my patience at not throwing it out of the window...', But Fry did add: 'I do like the Bold though.'
