Blackberry Storm to Take On iPhone
Blackberry has released some details of the soon to be released Blackberry Storm. One feature that sets the Storm apart from other touchscreen smartphones is the springs under the screen that will provide touch feedback.
One of the main complaints about the apple iPhone is that the glossy screen does not provide any feedback when touched. The Storm attacks that issue by using mini springs under the screen so the screen will actually give slightly when pushed. They feel this will provide a better user experience.
Additionally, the Storm will be available both on Verizon and Vodaphone and phones sold by one network will work on the other. If you plan on travelling overseas, this means your Verizon Blackberry Storm will have the ability to operate on the Vodaphone network in those markets. This should be a real plus to the Storm user that travels worldwide.
The storm is expected to be available in the 4th quarter of 2008.
The latest addition to the Blackberry line is the Blackberry Bold. The Bold is a quad-band GSM based smartphone that will be available on the AT&T network. It will also be compatible with the T-Mobile network as well.
The Blackberry 8703e is one of the Blackberry 8700 series smartphones that was released in late 2006. The 8703e adds Ev-DO technology allowing it to operate on the latest high speed wireless networks. Other key features include Email, phone, web browsing, text messaging, organizer, full QWERTY keyboard and the ability to function as a tethered modem. It is a CDMA based phone and works with networks such as Sprint, Verizon and Alltel.


The Blackberry Pearl is a great compact business ready smartphone. Key features include the trackball, digital camera, expandable memory, email, web browsing, and more. It is available on the AT&T, Cellular One, Cincinnati Bell, Rogers Wireless, Suncom Wireless, and T-Mobile.
The Blackberry Pearl 8110 is the latest addition to the Blackberry Pearl lineup. It is available on the AT&T and Rogers Networks. With features including the trackball, Bluetooth, Media Player, and the messaging capabilities Blackberry is famous for, this is a great choice for a compact yet business friendly phone.
