Blackberry is back......with the Storm

Hi
I recently came across Blackberry's new offering, Blackberry Storm, which comes as another offering in the 'i-Phone killer' range, after HTC G1. Blackberry Storm doesnt have any keys on its body, it just has a software keypad just like HTC Touch. Running on Windows Mobile, it offers a pleothra of features . Although the keypad storm offers is one of the best of their kind, but i still find it to be damn slow when compared for real keypad. The processing speed that we found was satisfactory, but we would have liked the phone to be more quick in responses. The phone comes with a new feature called ' Accelerometer' . With this feature, users can rotate the screen automatically with the handling orientation of the phone. With this, users can also play interactive games like bowling just like they might have used to play with Nintendo Wii. The 112.5 x 62.2 x 14 mm , 155 g weighing phone sports a 360 x 480 pixels, 3.25 inches 65K colors TFT touchscreen. It also sports a 3.15 MP, 2048x1536 pixels, autofocus, camera with video, and flash . It also carries built-in GPS. Here's what i found some Storm users speaking on some sites

"i feel ur pain~~this is not good~~i bought it to work with me( as the 8310 i had), but this "thing" keep disappointing me, im gonna return it too~~"

"I hate Blackberrys :) And this one has no WIFI, in 2008, almost 2009 a phone without WIFI sucks!! I prefer SE."

The phone doesnt bundle Wi-Fi services. A phone in this segment is just aint worth it without Wi-Fi in it, which is nowadays available in many lower business phones.


To sum up the storm, here are its main features
