First time I saw BlackBerry Storm I already feel in love with its stylish design and it looks very cool. The BlackBerry Storm is known as a glossy looking phone which draw out attention of those looking at it. From the specification given, the weight is quite similar to the iPhone 3G but Blacberry Storm perhaps is a bit wider. Unlike the iPhone, the battery for BlacBerry Storm can be removed after you opened the black aluminum battery cover. It also come along with a removable 8Gb MicroSDHC which is quite big for your digital storage! It also included a Verizon SIM card and it could be easily unlocked if you wish to use another cellular service provider.
The screen is what make this phone very cool. It has 3.25″, 480×360 pixel screen which make it very easy for us to read text along with the bright backlight. Just like iPhone, this BlackBerry Storm come together with the accelerometer. However, the transition between landscape and portrait quite lagging which is approximately 4 seconds. Unlike the older version of BlackBerry, BlackBerry Storm used different keyboard layout because they are now part of the touch screen and are activated by “clicking” in the entire screen while your finger is over the corresponding button. The screen acts as one giant button that you press in with every letter press, icon click, or menu selection.
There are some useful application that come together with BlackBerry Storm such as VZ Navigator. It is a turn-by-turn GPS application that has a lot of good Points of Interest and other neat features. Unfortunately Verizon charges $10/mo for this feature, so you really need to consider whether is it worth for you to use this feature or not. One of the biggest changes in BlackBerry Storm is the web browser. The web browser definitely benefits from the much higher screen resolution on this phone, and actually renders real pages in a very readable way.
Not to forget, this phone also equipped with 3.2 Megapixels camera with an auto-focus features, so you would be able to focus on close items and still have the texts readable. Yeah, the battery life for this phone seemed to be pretty decent but just like any other smartphone, the more you utilized the phone the more you would draw the power.
