The BlackBerry Storm has passed 1 million sales in the US alone – or so says Verizon, the US mobile network.

Since the touchscreen BlackBerry Storm went on sale across the pond in November, it’s racked up 7 figure sales, despite heavy media criticism. “That’s not a bumpy start,” a Verizon spokesperson said after the company’s Q4 financial results and Storm success were revealed.

No, it’s not, but it’s quite a surprise considering all the reports of bugs, glitches, repeated patches and RIM’s CEO all but giving up on trying to release smartphones that work out of the box, so maybe customers are happier with the BlackBerry Storm than we all expected.
