Nothing like some good old fashioned BlackBerry drama to keep things interesting. A video leaked out last night of the BlackBerry Storm in action. And call it what you want, Storm, Thunder, whatever, but this phone seems to have one major problem, and that’s its screen.

Besides naming controversies, the BlackBerry Storm as it will be called on Verizon, and the BlackBerry Thunder, as it is named for other carriers like Rogers, is a pretty slick looking device. But looks can be deceiving as the video below shows.
Basically, the entire touchscreen is one big button. You navigate through menus by using the physical buttons, then select items on the screen by touching them. However, you have to actually press on the screen to open an application. You will hear a small clicking sound. Yes, the screen is actually button, for crying out loud! Check out the video for yourself below. I don’t know about this one. Would a button screen deter you from the Storm/Thunder?
