...Storm's technical specifications are otherwise solid. Available in blue, sandstone, silver and black, the 5.5-oz. phone features a removable battery and MicroSD slot that can hold up to 16 GB of photos, songs, spreadsheets and more. The phone comes with 1 GB of built-in memory...
What's so exciting about yet another BlackBerry? The brand has built a reputation as a secure and reliable, though somewhat stodgy, e-mail device for corporate types, but the Storm could help recast BlackBerry as a viable, exciting option for consumers as well. Unlike most devices from the smartphone maker based in Waterloo, Canada, the Storm won't have a physical keyboard, allowing for a larger, 3.2-in. touchscreen and a much neater appearance.

With that in mind, a U.S. Embassy building in Beijing, which opened in August, was reportedly built entirely by American workers using American supplies. It's unclear such measures will have to be resorted to in London, where the U.S. still prides itself on maintaining a Special Relationship. But it will take many years before Nine Elms resounds with quite the prestige of Grosvenor Square; indeed, maybe...
