Blackberry cellular phones have become well liked for their user-friendly Qwerty keyboard. In the corporate world, BlackBerry cellular phones have been reagarded as number one in being the best side-kick for doctors, lawyers and professionals in diversed industries. Even iPhone devotees and users of the Google mobiles, who have ever obtained Blackberry mobiles confess that as for functions like SMSing, Blackberries are the most amazing. In the world of smart phones, they are of course not lagging behind either. For those of us human, such the big-brained species with opposable thumbs that we are, the anthentic Qwerty keyboard of Blackberry cell phones delight those of us with elevated standards for real-time tactile experience, Blackberry cellular phones were inevitably the standard of smart phones.

Then Blackberry made up its mind to come along with the Blackberry Storm and hit on everyone. Gone was the loveable tactile Qwerty keyboard which every person found useful and handy. The only feature in which this cell phone looks the same as other Blackberry cell phones is the BlackBerry OS and RIM's revolutionary email and messaging services. Unlike other BlackBerry mobile phones, the QWERTY or SureType keyboard and light-up trackball for navigation is not there any more. How does the new virtual QWERTY compare to the full-sized signature QWERTY keyboard? One comment reported that the touch screen keyboard was not easy to use since the user has to release the key before touching down on another. The result is slow or lagging typing.

BlackBerry Storm is a wide 3.25-inch, touch screen gadget that also provides quite a few of the same functions as the iPhone, but as well provides a clickable display. Unlike the iPhone and Instinct , the Storm make full use of a completely extraordinary "click" technique named SurePress which in practice allows you to scroll the screen down, imparting the feeling of using a computer mouse.

Whereas the 2nd generation of iPhone has a 2MP cam same as the 1st generation iPhones, the BlackBerry Storm develops their smart phone cam to 3.2 Megapixel, along with AF and a 2x digital zoom function. Moreover the BlackBerry Storm supposedly, similar to the 1st generation, has fast 7.2Mbps HSDPA website capabilities—putting it more advanced than the iPhone. The BlackBerry Storm also has a useful bedside mode that is useful in screening those drunken 2:00am phone calls from acquantaince at pub. In the mean time, the Storm can also be adopted as an alarm clock.

One more benefit lies in the fact that the BlackBerry Storm offers better screen resolution than both the iPhone and T-Mobile's GI Android phone. At 480 x 360 pixels, the BlackBerry Storm outshines both the iPhone and T-Mobile's GI Android cellular phone. Around back, the battery cover is constructed from solid piece of brushed aluminium, behind which is a changeable cellular phone battery. The screen is very crisp and clear and selections remit a cool blue glow when pressed. The screen of the Storm is very bright, though it doesn't trump the squint-worthy brightness of the iPhone at full blast.

While the Storm offers enough bang for your buck in some ways there are a number of disadvantages to
the mobile phone. The 3rd-party software for the Storm is left far behind the iPhone. All in all there is not quantities of third-party applications for BlackBerry mobile phones, not to mention Storm-based applications. And, as the BlackBerry Storm is completely different from all the predecessor keyboard and trackball BlackBerries, third-party software for the Storm does not exist at all. Whereas, the RIM software that ships with the Storm is fine.

Mac users are not that lucky when it comes to synchronizing their Storms with their laptops. Where RIM offers a free application named PocketMac that was able to synchronize the old versions of BlackBerries, there is no program that enables Mac users to deal so with the BlackBerry Storm. Perhaps, if Mac users wait for a short time, RIM will release a PocketMac that accommodates the BlackBerry Storm cell phone.

In the end, which there is some amazing hardware and software that the Storm owns, a lot seems to be a PR ploy which will convince users that the Storm is a powerful rival to the iPhone. Unfortunately, besides features such as a better cam and higher resolution, the general UE of the BlackBerry Storm is inferior compared with
