Blackberry Thunder and Storm puzzle got resolved when Thunder bolted out and Storm remained. RIM’s work of art comes with a brilliant touchscreen user interface. The screen size is massive and the 3.25 inches and its high resolution makes viewing web pages, photos and videos a delightful experience. The virtual QWERTY keyboard comes in two forms – the full and the SureType and switches depending on portrait or landscape positioning of the display screen. The touchscreen responds to the finger with such ease that one can’t help wondering if the phone is intuitive.

Storm uses a new innovation called “ClickThrough” which makes the screen respond to pressure allowing the feel of a real keyboard. The font sizes are user adjustable – a feature the user would love. Its multitasking feature, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, video recording, a media player, 3.5mm audio jack, GPS navigation, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, 3G with HSDPA and 1GB of built-in memory plus the ability to expand the memory with a microSD card makes it a delight to have in the hands. But then when you feel the 155g weight in your hands, you feel a bit weighed down. This is said to be the heaviest smartphone currently on sale in the UK. The Battery life is quoted to be 5.5 hours talktime and 360 hours standby.

The Blackberry Storm 9500 and 9530, share similar features and specifications except that The 9530 supports 3G with HSDPA 2100 and CDMA2000 1x EV-DO while 9500 supports 3G with HSDPA 2100 alone.

The Storm launched in the UK at the beginning of November 2008. It is exclusive to Vodafone and is available free on a £35 per month tariff in the UK.

Latest blackberry ‘bold’

Research In Motion Ltd is launching a new high-end version of the Blackberry aimed at its core base of business users, but it hopes the sleek device will also catch on in the broad retail market. The Blackberry Bold, as the new smart-phone is called, is the first Blackberry to support high-speed HSDPA cellular networks with integrated GPS, Wi-Fi and lot of multimedia features.

“It’s really a step up in function in many core aspects of the system,” RIM Co-CEO Jim Balsillie said in an interview.

The smart-phone rolls out globally this summer and will cost between $300 and $400. AT&T will be its lead carrier in the United States.

“We had expected a 3G device later this year,” he wrote. “We estimate the Bold could increase RIM’s quarterly shipments by 200,000 to 400,000.”

While Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM hopes the Bold will entice corporate users to upgrade the handsets they currently use, Balsillie said he “wouldn’t be surprised if it gets picked up by the consumer.”

The device will be a test of whether the shaky U.S. economy is making corporations less willing to spend on new wireless hardware. Some analysts have expressed concerns that companies will delay upgrades or cut back on spending on items such as the Blackberry.

UBS analyst Jeffrey Fan wrote in a note to clients he expects the company to launch between three or four new devices this year.

“We believe RIM’s broadening portfolio should widen its appeal to the mass market,” he wrote.

The Bold features the most vivid display ever on a Blackberry, a 2-mega-pixel camera with video recording capability, and a media player for watching movies and managing music collections.

This isn’t the first time a Blackberry has been loaded with multimedia features to catch the eye of the retail customer. RIM has actively worked at diversifying its client base away from the executives, lawyers and other professionals who use the Blackberry for sending secure wireless e-mail.

More than a third of RIM’s 14 million subscribers are now classified as non-government and non-corporate.

This pursuit of consumers has put RIM in increasingly direct competition with devices such as Apple’s iPhone which target the broad consumer market.
