Blackberry Storm - a touch smartphone made its debut in the US on November 21 2008


The Blackberry Storm is suppose to be release a month earlier. Verizon started selling the BlackBerry Storm on November 21, 2008, a smartphone with a touch screen. Verizon sells it for $199.99 with a two-year contact and after a $50 mail-in rebate, Blackberry Phones are the mob-e-mail leaders and the Storm release is the most direct shot at the iPhone. Lines were around the block when it came out and the phones are expected to be sold out. But by December 15 or earlier, the company will be making sure that Storm will be available in shelves of retailers for the holiday shopping season.

Unlike the iPhone, the Storm features a touch screen that depresses slightly when pressed, giving users the feel of a soft click. The letters on the screen will also light up when pressed. It has a back botton which the iphone lacks. I like the Blackberry Storm because it will allow you to check your email inside the New York Subways. BlackBerry handsets also boast robust e-mail capabilities that have famously attracted users such as President-elect Barack Obama.

More features of the Blackberry storm:
CAMERA:The Storm has 3.2 megapixels vs 2 megapixels on iphone. The Storm has image stabilization,white balance, autofocus, variable zoom and flash. It captures videos.
BATTERY: 2 weeks in standby and up to about 5½ hours using Verizon's CDMA network or overseas on Vodafone's GSM network.
