Vodafone, Ireland’s largest mobile phone provider has announced that the Blackberry Storm was their number one selling handset over the Christmas period. But that’s not all they announced, Vodafone now have an amazing 102,000 mobile broadband users!

But is this news of the great success of the Storm have some bad news instore for Vodafone. Many people have reported bugs with their versions of the hugely popular handset. Many of the previous bugs have been resolved with a software patch in December. Although this is not a unique problem, with Apple having the same issue with early versions of the iPhone.

RIM just about made the shipping deadline, will this create a major problem for Vodafone? Only time will tell, but as it was their number one seller over the Christmas period, it may indeed come back to bite them in the ass!
