Don't you just love when people buy brand new gadgets and rip them apart for the entire world to see? Well, some enterprising destructionists at phoneWreck have taken apart the new BlackBerry Storm to reveal that the haptic touchscreen works the way it works because the entire screen is one big button, centered in the middle of the display. This explains some of the complaints of problems getting clicks at the edges of the display to register. Other findings include the revelation that the Storm is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7600 processor, which some are saying lacks the power to support all the features crammed into the Storm.
