A Blackberry With a Touch Screen
The Blackberry Storm !!!
This is Blackberry's very first phone with a touch screen, and it happens to be a full screen phone as well.
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 Storm is one of the first smart phones to take advantage of SurePress. This technology changes the way users interact with the touch screen; SurePress makes the screen clickable. While it takes a bit to get used to, if you are used to other touch screens, it is a nice bonus to the phone.
The Storms 3.25-inch TFT LCD touch screen has a resolution of 480 x 360 pixels. Additionally, there is support for over 65,000 colors. The combination of these features provides consumers with sharp imagery every time they look at their display.
Unlike many other phones, consumers have the ability to adjust backlighting, and change the font size and type on their display. Additionally, there is an accelerometer tightly integrated into this unit. This device changes the display from portrait to landscape, and landscape to portrait, depending on the position in which the phone is being held.
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% dependent on whether you are in portrait or landscape mode. (SureType - Landscape; QWERTY - Portrait)
As with any touch screen keyboard, these keyboards are a bit minuscule and difficult to use. For those of you with smaller hands, this may not be a problem. However, for those with larger hands, typing accurately will become an annoyance.
The overall design, of the Blackberry Storm, is durable and fits nicely in the palm of your hand. There is nothing significant about its 4.43 x 2.45 x 0.55 inch casing. The Storms weight, 5.5 ounces, is nothing to write home about. The measurements, along with the weight, are comparable to other smart phones on the market.
One of the advantages, to the Blackberry Storm, is the battery life - with 15 days of standby time and 6 hours of talk time - this smart phone lasts longer than many others do. On the other hand, overall performance, from this unit, has been disappointing. Firmware upgrades have not even been able to fix all of the performance issues.
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.
