Storm Cell Phone

The BlackBerry Storm was expected by professionals, but also by the general public that users are becoming more numerous. Indeed, the BlackBerry from RIM the company that was once used primarily by professionals. Today, more than 19 million people have trusted this brand, which 40% of this number are users of the public. RIM had to present a device that can compete with those of other companies like Apple, Palm, Samsung and others.

Compared the revolutionary Apple iPhone in which the touch screen is certainly not new. But one of the iPhone is distinguished by its unique graphics and navigation. The BlackBerry Storm announced by RIM seems entirely appropriate to compete. For the first images and the features presented by RIM, you would think that its new toy is nothing but a copy of the Apple. However, this is not. Let’s compare and try to remain objective (I already know the opinion of some people who have Apple’s apple tattooed on their heart!). Let us speak first of the touch screen.

It is a dimension of 3.25 inches, while that of the iPhone is 3.5 inches. During his presentation, RIM has made a speech that reminded one of Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Indeed, the company has touted the merits of his similarly touchscreen calling it revolutionary “first screen” clickable “in the world, its touch screen reacts like a physical keyboard and also allows for intuitive and efficient navigation Touch controls, or multitouch gestures. Thus, the keyboard features the BlackBerry for years is now part of the screen as the iPhone and other competing products. Unlike the latter, however, that the BlackBerry Storm sinks to finger pressure and emits a sound (click) when released. This function gives the sensation of truly supporting a key to a real keyboard. This is a characteristic that is sure to stand out from other devices of its kind.

The BlackBerry Storm offers the most features found in the competition, and especially the iPhone. We also find it as an accelerometer that switches the display in portrait or landscape when the user rotates the device. It is also equipped with a digital camera of 3.2 megapixels, which is significantly more than the 2 megapixel iPhone.  The product offers a RIM wireless 3G/3G and Bluetooth. A GPS is also integrated. One can regret the lack of Wi-Fi, which I think is an important function for a device of this type who wants a real handheld. It is almost needless to mention that the BlackBerry Storm has a new media player common to smartphones, and a Web browser and support for Office documents, which makes it be considered pretty interesting among Storm cell phones.

The capacity, when compared to the iPhone, is not really an asset. The camera comes with an internal memory of 1GB is much less than the iPhone, the first model comes with 8 GB. For cons, the BlackBerry Storm offers an expansion slot for microSD memory card and SDHD found in our cameras and music players. This feature absent from all Apple products is interesting given the significant decline in prices of memory cards.
