The Great Blackberry's Storm Mobile Phone

Blackberry mobile phones have been well known for their easy to use Qwerty keyboard. Around the corporate world, Blackberry has been hailed as the winner in being the perfect side-kick for doctors, attorneys and professionals in the variety of areas. Even iPhone fanatics and customers of the Google mobile phones, who have encountered Blackberry cellular phones admit that as for features including sending text messages, Blackberries are the most amazing. In the sphere of smart phones, they are definitely not lagging behind either. For those of us human, such the intelligent species with opposable thumbs that we are, the anthentic Qwerty keyboard of Blackberry cell phones satisfied those of us with high-end standards for real-time tactile sensation, Blackberry mobile phones were inevitably the standard of all cell phones.

Then Blackberry decided to release the Blackberry Storm and hit on everybody. Gone was the loveable tactile Qwerty keyboard which all people found useful and easy-to-use. The only way in which this mobile phone looks the same as other Blackberry cell phones is the BlackBerry OS as well as RIM's revolutionary email and messaging services. Distinctive from other BlackBerry mobile phones, the QWERTY or SureType keyboard and light-up trackball for navigation are gone. How does the brand name touch QWERTY compare to the real standard QWERTY keypad? One comment released that the virtual keypad was not easy to use for people who use it have to release the key before typing another. The outcome is slow or lagging typing.

BlackBerry Storm is a wide 3.25'', touch screen device that also provides a great deal of the similar functions as the iPhone, but as well offers a clickable display. Unlike the iPhone and Instinct , the BlackBerry Storm uses a completely extraordinary "click" technology called SurePress which in fact enables you to scroll the screen down, and makes you feel you're using a computer mouse.

Whereas the seconding generation iPhone has a 2 Megapixel camera same as the first generation iPhones, the BlackBerry Storm updates their cell phone camera to 3.2MP, in addition to autofocus and a 2x digital zoom function. In addition the BlackBerry Storm purportedly, like the first generation, has speedy 7.2Mbps HSDPA internet capabilities—putting it ahead of the iPhone. The BlackBerry Storm also features a useful bedside mode which is helpful in screening those drunken 2:00am phone calls from friends at pub. At the same time, the Storm can still be adopted as an alarm clock.

One more good thing is that the BlackBerry Storm provides better screen resolution than both the iPhone and T-Mobile's GI Android phone. At 480 x 360 pixels, the Storm outshines both the iPhone and T-Mobile's GI Android cellular phone. Around back, the cover of the battery is made from solid piece of brushed aluminium, behind which is a changeable cellular phone battery. The screen is very crisp and clear and selections radiate a cool blue light when pressed. The screen of the Storm is very bright, though it does not outdo the squint-worthy brightness of the iPhone totally.

While the Storm offers enough bang for your buck in some senses there are a number of deficits to the mobile phone. The 3rd-party software for the BlackBerry Storm is left far behind the iPhone. In general there is not an abundance of 3rd-party software for BlackBerry mobile phones, not to mention Storm-based applications. And, as the Storm is completely distinctive from all the previous keyboard and trackball BlackBerries, 3rd-party applications for the Storm in practice non-existent. Though, the RIM software that ships with the Storm is fine.

Mac users are not that lucky when it comes to synchronizing their Storms with their laptops. Where RIM offers a free software named PocketMac that was able to sync the past BlackBerries, there is no program that makes it possible for Mac users to do so with the BlackBerry Storm. Maybe, if Mac users wait for a short time, RIM will come out with a PocketMac that accommodates the Storm cell phone.

In the end, which there is some wonderful hardware and software that the BlackBerry Storm provides, a lot seems to be a PR ploy which will convince potentional users that the Storm is a powerful rival to the iPhone. Unluckily, besides functions such as a better cam and better resolution, the overall user experience of the BlackBerry Storm is thrown into the shade in comparison to
