A Review of BlackBerry’s new Storm

Everybody is waiting for what analysts and techie bloggers have to say about the newly-released Blackberry Storm. After all, when the original version was released last year, many regretted rushing the purchase and ended up complaining about slow operating speeds, the inconvenient absence of the QWERTY keyboard and seemingly heavy gadget.

Before the release of Storm 2 at the end of October 2009, much buzz has been heard about the problems of the older version already gone and fixed. For starters, the new version is thinner and much lighter, but the attractive interface is intact. The applications are also going to run smoother and faster with larger memory allocations.

As for the touch-screen QWERTY improvisation, it allows double-touch-at-one-time for speedier typing. Users would fine the “real keyboard” typing experience offered by the Storm 2, even hearing the clicks while they do.

The newer Blackberry also has a wi-fi and features video and music applications as well. The advanced camera features, the phone, emails and SMS services and video and music players integrated into the Storm 2 makes it a leading choice for busy people. Also, heavy and constant users of Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites will find the new version really high on connectivity.

Of course, we could not discount the similar capabilities and features of the Apple iPhone and the Satio from Sony-Ericsson, both having solid shares of the all-touch multimedia smartphones market. Each has an advantage at one aspect, like the 12.1 megapixel of the Sation. On the other hand, HTC’s offering called the Tattoo is also marking high on sales being the latest unit to use the Google touch-screen interface.

It can be said that more individuals with relaxed mobile phone usage opt for these latter, while Blackberry Storm remains the solid preference for business users.
