BLACKBERRY STORM 2 REVIEW

Ever wondered what the business-style reliability of the Bold would be like merged with a fun, sexy touchscreen? Well now you have it - The Blackberry Storm 2.

Yes, the original Storm was subject to some scathing reviews but the Storm 2 attempts to amend the issues and does a fair job.

The Storm 2 not only incorporates a virtual on-screen full QWERTY keyboard but multi-touch (allowing users to press the screen twice almost simultaneously) allowing for faster-typing. WiFi, 3G HSPDA, Bluetooth, USB and Wireless LAN connections have been added. So too have apps such as Facebook app and office tools, and the flash memory has been expanded to 256Mb. The display, weight, size and dimensions are much the same as the original Storm but they were never of criticism. This is a Storm 2 updated to the high-end modern market and responding perfectly to user feedback.
