RIM just launched the BlackBerry Storm, the first touchscreen BlackBerry with a SurePress touchscreen.  Although RIM has seen record one-day BlackBerry subscriber additions they reportedly lowered their financial outlook on for the third quarter.

Now we would be lying if we said that we expected anything different after reading reviews. RIM co-CEO says, “product launch timing, general economic conditions and foreign exchange volatility” are why the 3Q expectations are down. RIM expects Q revenue to hit somewhere between $2.75 billion and $2.78 billion. That’s down from the previously projected $2.77 billion to $3.10 billion. RIM is also expecting a drop in new users, the projected 2.9 million new users has been dropped to 2.6 million.
