BlackBerry Storm Cell Phone
Introduction
The first BlackBerry to sport a touchscreen (that’s more of a push-screen) has arrived. That’s right, the BlackBerry Storm. There’s a lot to like about the Storm and with every new form factor there’s also a lot to learn. Read: be prepared to invest a good week to really master the Storm. That said, the Storm is a good looking device and has many features found on the BlackBerry Bold. If you want a slick looking touchscreen smartphone that has a solid media player, great MP3 player with the ability to save songs as ringtones free, and can handle its share of business applications, check it out. Just know this is unlike any other BlackBerry you’ve seen before. Note: We strongly recommend updating the software as it provides an improved user experience.
Design & Features
Look and feel: The first thing you will notice about the BlackBerry Storm is that it’s all screen and only a few keys. That’s because it’s BlackBerry’s first touchscreen smartphone. About that display, it’s large, bright, crisp and visible in direct sunlight – even when viewed through sunglasses. Since you are using your fingers to maneuver through the menu, the screen obviously picks up a ton of fingerprints and face grease. That said, this is a trade-off of having a cell phone with a touchscreen. When you are not using (i.e. touching) the display it turns black. Display aside, the Storm is an attractive cell phone with its black casing outlined with silver trim. It will definitely draw attention from onlookers.
The Storm feels good in the hand and the pocket. The closest comparison to size we can make is that it’s a little bit narrower than the BlackBerry Bold and just as long. When compared to the Apple iPhone, the Storm is a bit wider and thicker, while the iPhone is a bit taller than the Storm. Another nice design feature of the Storm is that there aren’t a ton of keys cluttering the phone’s spine. There are volume keys, a dedicated camera key, the USB port (thankfully, sans cover), and the voice dial key. The MicroSD card is hidden behind the battery cover, but you don’t have to remove the battery to insert the card – Nice. About that battery cover, it has to be one of the easiest covers to remove that we’ve encountered to date. It has two release buttons at the base of the cover; press, hold them down together to unlock and remove the battery cover.
Keypad:The BlackBerry Storm has a few keyboards. It’s got a full QWERTY keyboard that appears when you turn the Storm sideways (either direction is fine) in an application that would require a keyboard, such as the Web, e-mail, IM, or entering contacts. If you don’t want to use a full QWERTY keyboard, there’s always the SureType keypad option that can appear when you turn the Storm vertical. About that touchpad, it’s a bit tricky. You can’t just tap the screen lightly with your fingernail and expect something to happen. You actually have to press down on the screen (yes, the screen moves) similar to how you would press a button on a typical keypad. At first, it’s a bit strange because it’s just not the way you typically think touchscreens work. However, after awhile you can get accustomed to it. That said, the screen is a bit sensitive to the touch and when typing out messages, you’ll probably use the check spelling option about 30 percent of the time.
Battery Life
We wish battery life on the Storm was better. If you use the cell phone frequently to make calls, listen to music, as well as send/receive text messages and e-mail, the Storm will probably last out the day before needing to recharge. However, if you consider the Storm primarily a cell phone and less of a multimedia device, you’ll get about two to three days of battery life from it. We should note that listening to music a lot on the Strom doesn’t have an adverse affect on battery life, but having a bunch of applications running simultaneously does. Not to mention, having many applications running at once on the Storm also takes its toll on the accelerometer feature.
Usability & Performance
Call quality: We found call quality on the BlackBerry Storm relatively clear. For the most part, callers were clear, and it’s easy enough to adjust the cell phone’s volume with the corresponding buttons on the side of the Storm. That said, we did notice that if we kept the Storm close to our face during calls, we would inadvertently touch the screen, here a beep and launch a phone feature such as speaker, or mute. We also appreciated the speakerphone since we were able to speak simultaneously and callers weren’t cut off mid-sentence. Additionally, there was no degradation in call quality when we used a Bluetooth headset, and we could still hear callers clearly in a noisy environment.
Audio quality: The playback of music on the BlackBerry’s speaker is loud. For the most part songs sounded clear through the smartphone’s speaker, but when listening to Jazz songs we did experience some tinny sounds. That said, audio quality is even better using the included 3.5mm stereo earbuds and we found ourselves lowering the volume via the side volume keys. Since the cell phone sports a 3.5mm headset jack, you’ll be able to use your own high-end headset with the Storm to listen to music, however, you won’t be able to conduct calls using one of those headsets. Finally, the BlackBerry Storm supports stereo Bluetooth so if you prefer to go wireless, you can always listen to tunes via an optional Bluetooth-enabled stereo headset, such as the Motorola S9 , which is what we paired with the Storm and audio quality was still impressive.
Ease of Use
Note: Once we installed the software updates we had an improved user experience. As such, we recommend installing the updates.
Menu/phone book: If you love the BlackBerry interface, you’ll be happy to know not much has changed with the overall menu structure on the Storm – but it is a lot snazzier. Corresponding icons resemble a lighted nightclub sign and really pop against the black background. Although, the BlackBerry interface isn’t a lot different, you’ll probably encounter a bit of a learning curve to truly master using it. This is because it’s different. It’s also because the Storm’s display realigns itself every time you turn it. Sometimes it does this fast; sometimes not so much. Since there is so much that you can do with the Storm, if you have too many applications open at once you won’t just be burning through your battery, but the smartphone will become sluggish. The same is true for screen reorientation. Like other touchscreen cell phones on the market, the Storm has an accelerometer. That means when you turn the phone horizontal, the screen turns horizontal.
You can use the BlackBerry Media Sync software to easily sync contacts, calendar, and e-mail between the Storm and your computer. Additionally, you can also view and edit word docs, excel docs, and PowerPoint presentations on the BlackBerry Storm. You can store as many contacts as your available memory will allow. Each entry can hold multiple phone numbers, e-mail addresses, birthday and anniversary information, a picture and a slot for both work and home addresses. You can customize the look of the BlackBerry Storm interface.
The Storm is as much about fun as it is about business. Syncing media – videos, music, and pictures – is infinitely easier thanks to the Roxio Media Manager software for BlackBerry (see Music for more details). The BlackBerry Storm comes with a mini-USB-to-USB cable so that you can connect it directly to your computer. But that’s not all. There’s also a ton of social networking options available such as access to Flickr and FaceBook so you can upload photos directly from your smartphone to your respective accounts. Now for the Internet, it’s the real Internet – not a mobile version. So you can access any page you want on the Internet and zoom and pan for a better viewing/surfing experience.
Messaging: The reason most people buy a BlackBerry is for the messaging, and rightfully so; it really has perfected messaging, and it has a built-in spell checker , which makes composing messages even easier. Even better, it’s extremely easy to set up multiple e-mail accounts (including work e-mail) on this BlackBerry. You can do it during initial setup of the device by following the prompts on the screen. If you already have a BlackBerry e-mail account and are simply changing devices, you can upgrade the information in the BlackBerry Setup menu. Also, if you tend to receive a lot of graphic-intensive e-mails, opt for an unlimited data plan, as downloading graphics can eat up megabytes of data pretty quickly. We’re really happy to report that there are separate folders for text messages and individual e-mail accounts. There’s also support for multiple IM accounts. If you leave an IM account activated, when a new message appears in an existing conversation an icon of an envelope with a star on it will appear in the top section of the screen.
Camera/video: The BlackBerry Storm has a 3.2-megapixel camera and a flash. Overall, picture quality is decent when snapping pics using the Storm. We found colors appeared a bit washed out, but it handles details well. There’s still zoom on this camera, but you’ll need to press the volume keys to zoom in and zoom out on a subject. A nice feature is auto focus . The shutter lag is decent. Once you press the camera button down to capture the photo, that’s when the photo is captured. The screen will go dark when it’s actually taking a picture. Once you snap a picture, you can save it, rename it, save it as a Caller ID photo or wallpaper, delete it or send it. Camera features are a little slim, but you can adjust White Balance, Picture Size, Picture Quality, Color Effects (Normal, Black and White, or Sepia), and GeoTagging.
Additionally, you can view videos on the cell phone and we’re happy to report that you would have no problem watching shows or movies on the Storm – the experience is that good. You can shoot video, as well. You’ll be able to watch videos in the Media folder, but you’ll have to go to Applications to launch the recorder or switch to Video Recorder when the camera is launched. Shooting videos is pretty easy, but the quality isn’t fabulous. While it’s a nice feature to have, you’re probably going to enjoy watching videos you download.
Music: As noted, the BlackBerry Storm has a music player as well. You can listen to songs stored in MP3, AAC (Apple’s audio format) and WMA files (Microsoft’s audio format). There aren’t many music-centric features included in the player, but it has the ones we’ve come to expect: Repeat, Shuffle, and Playlists (you can’t create them on-the-fly). A huge plus is that you can save tunes stored in your cell phone as a ringtone. The Storm comes with 1GB of memory onboard, and an additional external 8GB MicroSD memory card, so you have plenty of room for tons of music and video out-of-the-box.
We still commend RIM for teaming up with Roxio to help you get music, photos, and videos from your computer on your Storm. The software has an extremely intuitive user interface, so you don’t even need to read directions to get started. You can also use this software to turn CDs into MP3s. Another nice feature is that the software won’t allow you to move music that the Storm won’t play back (that is, protected music that you might have purchased at an online store) onto it, so you’ll never have to wonder why a song isn’t playing. Instead, you’ll get a pop-up that says, “There are no media files in this folder that supports filter settings.” If that’s not enough music options, the BlackBerry Storm will also work with Verizon Wireless’ Rhapsody music service.
Connectivity/Bluetooth/World Phone: The BlackBerry Storm is a true world phone. It runs on CDMA networks in the United States and will work on GSM networks with an active SIM card around the globe. As noted earlier, in addition to being able to take calls using a Bluetooth headset the Storm also supports stereo Bluetooth, which we tested using the Motorola S9 . You can use Bluetooth to exchange contact info with other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but you can’t sync much else via Bluetooth.
Read full review » Kevin from CrackBerry just posted a hands-on video with an early version of Verizon's forthcoming BlackBerry Storm 9550 - aka Storm 2. That SurePress clickable screen is still there, but Kev says it's much better than the first iteration. This early model runs more or less the same software as the current Storm, but has more memory and the overall hardware is "much nicer," as well. There are lags and kinks and bugs to be ironed out before... It's the Battle of the BlackBerries. Noah pits the Verizon Storm vs the new Curve 8900 for T-Mobile. Both are sleek and sexy, but what's more important, a touchscreen or a full QWERTY board? $200 earbuds are great if you have the cash ... but what about quality sound for fifty bucks? Noah came across the Radius Atomic Bass at MacWorld and fell in love. $50 for the iPhone version, $40 for the regular headphones. It's the Battle of the BlackBerries. Noah pits the Verizon Storm vs the new Curve 8900 for T-Mobile. Both are sleek and sexy, but what's more important, a touchscreen or a full QWERTY board? So many people these days don't even talk on their phones - they use them to keep in touch via Email, SMS, IM, and social media. Noah pits the iPhone 3G vs BlackBerry Storm in a battle of facebook connectivity - apps and Websites. GadgetDog unboxes Ultimate Ears' slick, sleek, iPhone & BlackBerry compatible super.fi5 vi earbuds. These "canalphones" aren't cheap, but they sound great, look stealthy, and feature an inline mic/remote that works with iPhones and BlackBerry devices. As expected, Verizon will be launching the BlackBerry Storm 2 on Wednesday, October 28th for $179.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and new two-year agreement. Complete with a 3.25-inch touchscreen (480 x 360) with RIM's SurePress technology, 3G connectivity (EVDO Rev. A), Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, and a microSD card slot with an included 16 GB card (nice!), Humorous/corny PR catchphrases aside, the Storm 2 is billed by many as "everything that...
Though the official announcement hasn't been made yet, it's a given that Verizon is launching the Storm 2. We've seen countless reviews across the internet, complete with Verizon branding, and various rumors point to a late October or November launch. Despite the lack of an official upgrade program for original Storm owners, RIM and Verizon aren't leaving you in the dark.
According to information obtained by Phone Arena, Verizon and...
BlackBerry Storm owners, an "official" beta (yep, that's an actual phrase) of OS 5.0.0.230 is out, and if you're craving threaded text messaging, a 3G icon (instead of that boring old "1XEV" garbage), and enhanced icons, it's the beta build for you. Reaction to the build seems positive; the camera works well, and many have been successful in getting Facebook 1.6 to load (previously Facebook 1.6 didn't work with any OS 5.0 build). If... Motivated by the creative comments from our last "Top Five" segment, the idea of creating a new top five list seemed quite appealing (okay, Noah's top five lists were a deciding factor too - always good to have friendly competition, right?). But why stop at a top five phone list? Instead, why not make it carrier based? Wireless devices can differ dramatically from carrier to carrier, so, realizing the importance of this; I decided to...
Well well well, those price cuts we're currently seeing on the BlackBerry Storm are beginning to make sense. According to a leaked document obtained by PhoneArena (found on Crackberry), the BlackBerry Storm 2 seems to be sitting pretty for a business launch on September 29th, followed by an in-store launch on October 14th. Rumored to have undergone a screen renovation of sorts, the Storm 2 has seen its fair share of publicity... A sure fire sign of a new device launch typically comes when the older model is clearanced - such is the case with the BlackBerry Storm. The popular touchscreen BlackBerry has been reduced to $49.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and new two-year agreement. Better yet, thanks to the BOGO promotion running at the moment, you can pick up a second BlackBerry of equal or lesser value for free. At the $149.99 pre-rebate price, free... Pros: Nice screen, speaker, call quality, network speed, email client, style, desktop software. Cons: Memory issues! Sluggish performance, limited application memory, low-quality app world apps Summary: This is a good phone and has tremendous potential, however it has some serious issues that RIM needs to fix NOW! The App World is near-worthless as the blackberry is severely limited in it's application-dedicated memory. This memory cannot be allocated to your expandable microSD card. Big mistake! Also it has memory leakage issues that will have your system slowing to a crawl by the end of the day. I had to hunt on some forums to find workable solutions.. some aftermarket memory-sweeping apps and an overnight auto-reset app have improved my daily experience substantially.. I am not going to say I 'hate' this phone. It has serious issues, but I think they could be resolved easily by a firmware update.. don't forget the iPhone OS was a work in progress as well.. The media player is great.. great call quality, the click screen is easy to use, slower than the iphone, but I find my accuracy is better.. RIM fix the memory issues so we can have a perfect phone!! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful Pros: Flat screen Cons: Everything read below Summary: OK I guess I am the only one who hates the d***n storm... I have it for over half a year... and it drops calls all the time. Sometimes, I only hear the last ring because it is always thinking and misses everything or goes directly to voicemail. The phone is constantly reloading or something. When I try to type with the keyboard, I can't see the letters, and they are smaller than hell. It is suppose to be easy to use because each letter lites up before you actually hit it.. but the light lites up under your finger and the keyboard is so small that if you are on a letter near the one you really want you screw up....AND I HAVE VERY SMALL HANDS!!!!! I had the ENV before and never had a problem typing. I hate this phone.... it also has a mind of its own and when I push one application another opens...I thought there was a learning curve at the beginning but by the time I realized it was the phone I couldn't give it back....I HATE THIS PHONE...my kids have the IPhone and that is 100% easier to use and much more user friendly. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful Pros: email is good until the black berry system is being upgraded in midle of working day. Cons: Slow, bad voice quality, freezing, none responsive, sales persons in Verizon are blinded by incentives Summary: Blackberry storm is Slow, has bad voice quality, freezing, none responsiv. To top it off, ales persons in Verizon are blinded by incentives. This phone been a storm in my life ever since I purchased it form Verizon. Sales people in Verizon are getting incentives so they will spin the saturation like the media of the day. Every time I went into a Verizon store or called Blackberry, they promised the next update will fix it all. And fix it, DID NOT. I am on my 4th blackberry storm in less than 4 months. All of them have the same problem. These people have wasted my valuable time. I am giving up. I want another phone. Companies being so insensitive to their costumer time and frustration should not be supported. Value your time and money. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful Pros: Easy to use buttons Cons: Back of battery get's hot and Etc.. Summary: I had got the Blackberry Storm the first day that it hit the market, I was very excited from all the commercials they shown on TV,But when recieving it I was very dissapointed. First issue, It had froze like a TV screen and got a snow picture and kept coming back up so I took it back cause they couldn't fix it, So one to my second storm,then everytime I text or went to an application I got a red line across my screen and I tried to change settings on it just made it worse, So took it back on to my third storm. Everytime I went to my internet my camera came up in a small part of the screen so you had to take the battery out and put it back in and then an hour later it did it again, So I took it back at this point I was mad and didn't want it no more but I couldn't exchange some reason they wouldn't let me so I said fine I will take it one more time and if it messes up again and you won't replace it I will drop Verizon so I got it took it home and then was told to do the update so I did the update and it worked fine for like a week then it would start loading stuff and have a time clock looking thing and the screen would turn white and then the battery would get hot in the back hot enough you could barely touch it,So I said thats it I took it to the store and said I want a different phone you don't switch it I will drop Verizon I was still in my 30 days so they did. Then I waited for the new updated version to come out and It did I have had the new storm for a week now I love it only problem is the battery still gets hot in the back when you charge it and you recieve text messages emails etc over night. Pros: Intuitive. With some practice the keypad isn't bad. A single screen combines all phone logs, text messages, and emails for instant overview of all your communications. Good camera for a cell. If you're buying for that, you're probably an idiot. Cons: Heavy, chunky, sluggish, unstable, unreliable. Reboots constantly (known problem - check around). Reboot takes forever. Poor sound. Poor voice recognition. Screen constantly flips between vertical & horizontal mode, regardless of how it's held. Summary: Actually I like my Storm much better now that I smashed it against the dashboard and I finally succeeded in breaking it beyond repair. I have had it for about 5 months and I paid plenty for it. That said, the satisfaction of smashing it made it all worthwhile. For starters, the interface has a response and feel I can only describe as wading through an 18" deep lake of frozen molasses. Want to play games on it? Foggetaboudit. Sound is weak and scratchy. Voice recognition is poor. It's chunky and heavy. All that aside, that isn't the major problem. Shortly after I got it , it sharted rebooting multiple times per day (like 10). Bad enough, but on top of that, it takes 5-10 minutes to recycle. 10 hours of tech support (really!) with Verizon improved it to about 2 reboots every 3 days. Unfortunately, over time, it became worse again - much worse - finally rebooting every time someone tried to call: i ring - 1 vibration - reboot. Oh yeah - and it didn't save the number either so I had no idea who called. After it did this to me about 15 times in a row over a period of 3 days or so, it hit the dashboard. FYI Verizon AND Blackberry customer service was abysmal. This happened 2 days ago (4/14/09). I bought an iPhone. It's killer. I love it. For the record, I've been using cell phones since they weighed pounds, came in bags, and air time was $2 a minute. I wasn't born yesterday and haven't smashed anything since I pounded a keyboard when the PC ate my spreadsheet and cost me 4 hours of work - I think that was back in '87. As of this writing, Blackberry has yet to upgrade the operating system and it is 100% a Blackberry problem. These are no way ready for prime time and should never have been rushed to the market. If you're a masochist and like being tortured, this is definitely the phone for you. Else, if you really want a useful, elegant, stable, and smooth as silk touchpad phone, then do what i did, suck it up and buy an iPhone. Consider yourself warned. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful The Blackberry storm and the Blackberry strom 2 are pretty much the same, but I would go with the Blackberry storm2 because it is newer and as far as i heard it works better and faster.
Umm, the storm 2 does click, it isnt a suspension system like the old one, it just sends an electronic pulse to your fingers that tells you you made a selection. The storm 2s browser has been knocked for being slower than the original, over any connectivity, and the phones have the same processor, the storm 2s is just a little newer, and the reception cant be any diiferent, because of the network being the same, and they both are capacitive... I have tested both of these phones out before and, one thing about the first storm is that the screen clicked. I didnt like that at all. When i first tested it out i thought its was goning to be a compasitive touch screen, but it wont. ): Thats what i like about the storm 2 it doesnt click and i found it to be faster on the web, because of wify. But i went on the internet when the storm 2 wify was not on, with the storm and they were... id say if you wanted something more profession and for work use, a blackberry.
or for fun, or stylish, the omnia. both great phones. i never had a blackberry. i dont know what to get. help me plzzz.
i have verizon and they look like good phone. so can you all help me. I have had a BB Storm since it was released. I cannot wait until October so I can get rid of it. I really tried to like the phone but even after the updates it is still almost as buggy as the day I got it. Huge amounts of lag. At times you can type out a message and then you have to wait as the phone catches up with you. I'm a fan from Thailand.
I was thinkin' about getting a new phone between BB Storm and HTC HD.
Would it be possible for you to do a Dog-Fight between those two models?
Thanx and peace out...
Yeah, I knew most of these already except for 6 and 7.
