BlackBerry Storm 9530
The BlackBerry Storm is the first entry by smartphone leader BlackBerry into the world of touchscreens. BlackBerry’s claim to fame has always been its exceptional mobile email functionality and manufacturer Research In Motion (RIM) has steadfastly insisted that a physical keyboard is best suited for typing. That said, even stalwart RIM couldn’t ignore the market pressures, led by Apple’s phenomenally successful iPhone 3G, which have placed priority on a touchscreen.
The BlackBerry Storm 9530 is the CDMA version of the GSM BlackBerry Storm 9500 which was recently released by Vodaphone in Europe. The Storm 9530 is marketed exclusively by Verizon Wireless in the U.S. It will also be available in Canada from Telus and Bell.
There’s no question that RIM’s intention for the Storm is for it to be the best smartphone available so the omission of Wi-Fi from its feature set is big surprise. Now, with that complaint out of the way, here are the remarkable features of the Storm 9530.
Standout Features
Unique SureTouch touchscreen
Microsoft Exchange support
Ev-DO Rev A data network
The BlackBerry Storm 9530 easily ranks among the best smartphones on the market. It hangs onto its business phone roots but offers an excellent suite of multimedia and consumer features. Its SureTouch screen makes it excellent for typing compared to other touchscreens but still isn’t as usable as a physical keyboard for that purpose. We’ll have to wait and see how reliable the suspended screen proves to be. Its media player is terrific except when compared to iPhone’s integrated iPod. Overall, there aren’t many devices that pack as much of a punch as this one.
