Smartphones - BlackBerry Storm

 

 

 

Features

Touchscreen: The Storm uses a "SurePress" glass capacitive touchscreen which provides haptic feedback. This screen allows the user to navigate through the phone using their fingertip, similar to a computer's mouse, and "click" the screen by pushing down to select.

Display: 3.25 in (8.3 cm) TFT-LCD flat touch-sensitive scratch-resistant screen with 360 X 480 pixel resolution and able to display 65,536 colours. The touchscreen eliminates the need for use of a stylus as it uses a capacitive touchscreen.

CPU: The Storm utilizes the MSM7600 from Qualcomm[11] a dual core CPU with ARM11 400 MHz and ARM9 274 MHz.

Battery: The Storm features a user-replaceable, rechargeable DX-1 Li-ion battery stated to be capable of providing up to 5.5 hours of GSM talk time, 6 hours of CDMA talk time, or 15 days (356 hours) of standby.

Text Input: The Storm implements a virtual keyboard on its touchscreen. Using its accelerometer allows the user to switch between a virtual SureType keyboard when held in portrait mode, and in a full QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode. Newer versions of the operating system also allow for a full QWERTY keyboard while in portrait mode. The device has an automatic spell check correction, and the SureType keyboard configuration has predictive text. Firmware package 4.7.0.203 (Verizon Wireless) removes the predictive text feature from the multi-tap keyboard configuration.

Camera: The device features a built-in 3.2 megapixel camera located on back which features a flash, autofocus, and has video recording capabilities with a maximum resolution of 480 x 352 pixels.

Memory: The device features 1GB of onboard memory, 128MB of NVRAM and an expandable memory slot support for a microSD card of up to an additional 32GB (A 32gb microSD card is not yet available, but the Blackberry Storm will support the card upon its release). Verizon Wireless, Bell Mobility and Telus Mobility include a preinstalled 8GB microSD card onboard.

Headphone Jack: The device has a standard 3.5 mm stereo audio jack.
Bluetooth: The device supports Bluetooth v2.0, Bluetooth Stereo Audio via A2DP and AVCRP.
