BlackBerry is a very well known name when it comes to cell phones. BlackBerry has always been a dependable name, one who had phones that consumers could rely on - the BlackBerry Storm is no different. This is Blackberry's very first phone with a touch screen, and it happens to be a full screen phone as well.
The accessories, shipped with this unit, are phenomenal: 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. Consumers have everything they need upon delivery of their unit. Additionally, the phone itself has many amazing features, such as a 3.2 megapixel camera, built-in GPS, media player, video recording, email, organizer, phone, browser, corporate data access, and SMS / MMS.
The latest version of BlackBerrys OS - version 4.7 - is standard on the storm. This version offers a new user interface, one that is more exciting and easy to navigate! Users will also be able to edit documents, like word and excel, due to DataViz Documents. The Standard Version comes with the phone; however, you can upgrade to Premium if you choose. (If you're planning on creating new documents, from your Storm, you will need to upgrade to Premium.)
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 Storms 3.25-inch TFT LCD 480 x 360 resolution 65,000 color display is one of the most beautifully crisp displays available on a smart phone.
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 no physical keyboard, on this phone, as it is a full touch screen phone. The keyboards are accessed through the display. If you are in portrait mode, you will have access to the SureType board, and if you are in landscape mode, you will use the QWERTY board.
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.
Looking at the big picture, the BlackBerry Storm is a functional phone. Its features and what it offers are a little above standard. If you can put aside slight performance glitches, this just might be the right smart phone for you.
