BlackBerry Storm

The first thing you notice about the Storm when you see it in real life is how attractive it is, it's begging to be picked up. A large touchscreen is surrounded by a solid casing and metal back. It feels like a quality product that will last some time. Unlike the other touchscreen phones out there, the Storm's screen is clickable, which takes some getting used to, especially when texting using the onscreen keypad. It won't be to everyone's liking and we think some people will find it annoying. Because the screen can be clicked, a gap had to be left around the edges so that it can pivot. We suspect this will fill up with dirt. That said, the screen itself is very sharp and provides a vibrant viewing experience -- similar to the BlackBerry Bold's screen. It's a relatively thin phone and features curved edges that make slipping it into and out of a pocket very easy. RIM has used quality materials, giving the Storm a premium look and feel. On the back of the BlackBerry Storm is a 3.2-megapixel camera. At first we thought I performed well but after further testing found that most photos came out blurry if you didn't hold it very still. Below you can see the metal battery cover. Similar to the HTC Touch HD, the BlackBerry Storm features a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can plug your cans straight in. Other features include GPS that you can use with BlackBerry Maps and an app store similar to the iPhone app store which allows you to download apps such as facebook and flickr straight to your phone
