Its a Viral ad for Vodaphone as they have the Blackberry Storm for there European networks. The car is not remote control as wheels don't move when steering wheel does in garage, it looks good though. There is also no throttle control just a pic of steering wheel and definitely not an Iphone. matt

I think the giveaway is the fact that the vodaphone logo pops up in the bottom right of the screen at the end of the video...........not very sly vodaphone, I believed this for a while which is pretty shameful! But how did they do it if it wasn't the storm controlling it, did the just stick a midget in there and let him get on with it?
