New Blackberry storm
BlackBerry seems to have addressed many of the problems it had with touch screen smartphone when the Storm 2 goes on sale in the UK on October 26.
The touch-screen QWERTY keyboard is much improved, too, allowing for simultaneous double-touching, unlike the touchscreen on the iPhone, the BlackBerry keyboard mimics the feel of a real keyboard by clicking both audibly and physically under the fingertips. There’s wi-fi too, now an essential for this class of device. Add to this the push e-mail and unrivalled security features that makes BlackBerry the default choice for industry worldwide, and the result is a very fine phone indeed.
Instant access to content on the move is no longer the exclusive privilege of the businessman on the go. It’s something we all now expect, as previously separate devices — the camera, the phone, the portable music player, the video player — now converge into one device.
Where once BlackBerry led the way in e-mail on the go, there is now a host of other touch-screen products that offer much the same services in a more user-friendly package.
