Blackberry has whipped up a Storm.

February 10th, 2009

You can’t deny that the Blackberry Storm is a somewhat striking device. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into its design, which is one of the reasons why it’s become such a success. Its large touch screen display (480×360) nearly covers the entire surface of the phone, while the rest of the surface is covered in high gloss, piano black plastic. Underneath the touch screen are the usual Blackberry keys; phone, menu, back and end/power, this furthers the ease of use of this phone.

The phone is bright and the viewing angles are so good, you could sit and watch movies on it all day. Whilst it can be said that the Storm is RIM’s most consumer-oriented device, it’s still very much a Blackberry at heart. With the Blackberry menu the same as before, navigation is simple.
