Research In Motion's new touch screen BlackBerry Storm is no exception to the rule that top-of-the-line electronics rarely come cheap: at US$250 with a new two-year Verizon Wireless service contract]--and as much as $520 off contract--the BlackBerry Storm's a rather pricey new toy.

Fortunately for new Storm owners, protecting your investment and optimizing your smartphone experience doesn't have to break the bank. In fact, each and every one of the following 10 BlackBerry Storm accessories--skins, cases, batteries, chargers, media cards and more--can be had for less than $100...some even go for less than $10.

Individually, each Storm accessory on my list is guaranteed to help protect and/or enhance your BlackBerry user experience. But beware: Using all of the suggested products at once could lead to the Perfect Storm, and I'm not talking about the George Clooney flick.

BlackBerry Storm Screen Protectors

First things first, you'll want to ensure your Storm's beautiful 480 X 360 display remains in pristine condition, even after bouncing around in a pocket or catching a ride in your holster. The best way to do so is to purchase some sort of screen protector, like the $8.95 Anti-Glare Screen Protectors for BlackBerry Storm 9530 from Fommy.com. Composed of micro-thin polymer, these screen protectors aim to reduce glare while keeping your Storm's screen scratch-free. They're also easy to remove and come in packs of six.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
