Blackberry Storm 9500 - features and reviews
Editor's Note
The Blackberry Storm is available exclusively with Vodafone.
You can buy now at Vodafone's website.
The Blackberry Storm is the latest iPhone challenger and the first Blackberry to feature a full size touchscreen. As with every Blackberry, the Storm features excellent email-software, letting you send and receive emails from several accounts wherever you are. You can even access your web-based email accounts such as Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo. The 3.25 inch 'soft-touch' screen lets you type messages in three different ways.
There's a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus and a flash, both essential tools for capturing pictures of your colleagues embarrassing themselves on a night out. This is much better than the 2 megapixel camera on the G1 and the iPhone.
There's a full web browser and even dedicated applications for Facebook and Flickr for those moments when you need to chill out and forget about your looming deadlines.
The Blackberry Storm is a highly anticipated phone that could prove to be the first real iPhone challenger.
It's available for free on a £40 per month contract with 600 mins of calls and unlimited text, email and internet browsing.
