BlackBerry® Storm™ (Verizon Wireless) Detail

RIM packs functionality and entertainment into the BlackBerry® Storm™ 9530, its first touchscreen phone. Like many other touchscreen phones, the Blackberry Storm has an on-board accelerometer to switch from portrait to landscape mode or vice versa, but unlike other touchscreens, the Storm offers SurePress Technology, which alllows you to use the entire screen as one big button, creating an unique, one-of-a-kind interactive user experience. The Storm offers two virtual keyboards -- the Full QWERTY keyboard for long messaging and editing documents and the SureType™ keyboard, as found on the BlackBerry® Pearl™, for sending quick texts. As with all Blackberry devices, The Blackberry Storm features great corporate and web-based email functionality and also comes with the ability to view and edit Microsoft Office documents out of the box. Storage is not a problem, as the Blackberry Storm comes with a 8GB MicroSD memory card and is expandable up to 16GB. Use the extra storage for photos, music, documents, or even videos. Streaming is fast on Verizon's 3G data network and, with Verizon's V CAST Music service, you can download music straight onto your phone. An Enhanced HTML Web Browser and the ability to pan and zoom on web pages make surfing the web intuitive. Preloaded editing Software for Microsoft® Word, Excel® and PowerPoint® Files further enhances the Blackberry Storm's functionality. The Storm's built-in GPS supports VZ Navigator for spoken turn-by-turn directions. Other features include a 3.2 megapixel camera/camcorder with 2x zoom, stereo Bluetooth, and quad-band GSM for use all over the world.
