The BlackBerry Storm is the most recent introduction - to the smart phone market - by BlackBerry. This is their first ever phone with a touch screen! As a matter-of-fact, it is a full screen smart phone, meaning the keyboard is accessible only on the LCD display. The BlackBerry Storm offers a multitude of application and functions for consumers around the world!
Your new phone is ready to use, out-of-the-box, as it comes with a travel charger with an assortment of adapters, a USB cable, an 8GB microSD card, a SIM card, a wired headset, a software CD, and user manual. The features, available on this phone, are amazing. You have a 3.2 megapixel camera, built-in GPS, media player, video recording, email, organizer, phone, browser, corporate data access, and SMS / MMS.
The Storm comes with BlackBerry's standard operating system - BlackBerry OS 4.7. DataViz Documents - standard edition - also comes with the phone. This application allows you to modify documents, such as word and excel, right from your phone. If you are looking to create new documents, as well, you will need to upgrade to the Premium Edition of DataViz.
The BlackBerry Storm is one of the first touch screen phones to utilized SurePress technology. This technology forces users to click on the screen, making for a more realistic experience. For example, when you are typing on the keyboard, you actually have to click in order for the letter to type; this is a much more realistic experience than just tapping your fingertip on the key.
The LCD screen, on the Storm, is a 3.25-inch TFT display with a 480 x 360 pixel resolution. Additionally, the screen supports up to 65,000 colors. The combination of these features gives consumers one of the grandest LCD screens on a smart phone!
BlackBerry decided to allow their customers to customize their experiences with the Storm. Backlight brightness, font size, and font type, are all adjustable by you - set them to whatever you are most comfortable with. Additionally, the display rotates from portrait to landscape based on how you are holding the phone. This is all possible through a little mechanism called accelerometer.
There is, obviously, no keyboard on this phone. The keyboard is accessible via the display. There are two types of keyboards available on this phone, QWERTY and SureType. The type of keyboard available is 100% dependant on whether you are in portrait or landscape mode. (SureType - Landscape; QWERTY - Portrait)
They keyboards have to fit within the diameter of the screen. Even though the LCD display is a good size, it is not necessarily adequate for a keyboard. Having said this, the keyboards are a bit difficult to use, especially if you have bigger hands.
The phone itself is about the same size as other smart phones on the market, measuring around 4.43 x 2.45 x 0.55 inches, and weighing 5.5 ounces. The overall design provides a sturdy frame and easy to grip edges.
Performance, on the Storm, is a bit disappointing. There is some severe lag time with application use, internet browsing, instant message, and just overall functionality. Firmware updates have boosted performance just a bit, but not quite enough. On the other hand, battery performance is above par. On average, you will have about six hours of talk time and 15 days on standby time.
On the whole, this is a BlackBerry phone. It is backed by a good name and warranty. If you are looking for a standard smart phone, at a decent price, the Storm is a good pick for you. - 20785
