Being from Canada I feel like I saw a lot of BlackBerry's no one in the US even got to see. My sister managed to convince her work at the time to get her the BlackBerry Storm (http://www.engadget.com/products/blackberry/storm/9530/), BlackBerry's first no-keyboard phone.

It was supposed to be BlackBerry's answer to the iPhone but it was a resistive touch screen that felt archaic compared to iPhone's compacitive touch screen. Also as you might imagine the app selection just wasn't there.
