The BlackBerry Storm 2 is the new and improved BlackBerry Storm that has made a major impact on users even though the changes are minor. It is still the same 112 x 62 x 14mm; however the buttons have been upgraded to touch screen buttons and the battery lid and joints have been smoothed to make it more user-friendly. An obvious change is the absence of the “physically moving” screen which has been replaced by an innovative button that displays your choice by using the advanced software technology.

The producers, RIM, kept the SurePress techniques of double-pressing a button to register your choice even though they did away with buttons. There is no change to the screen which remains a 3.25 inch size with 480 x 320 pixel resolution. Even though the changes are minor, the Storm 2 is obviously an improvement on the older model and brings the device on par with their competitors. Much thought was put into making it user-friendly and an ideal business partner for the individual who likes to be current and up-to-date with modern technology

Below some reviews from Blackberry Bold

From CNET editors’ review Blackberry Bold:

It’s been a good six months since Research in Motion first announced the RIM BlackBerry Bold (aka RIM BlackBerry 9000). Originally slated for a summer release on AT&T, the launch date kept getting pushed back…and back. Frustrated with the delays and wooed by other new smartphone releases, we moved on (and so did many of you) and nearly gave up on the Bold. However, now that we finally have it hand, the love affair has begun all over again.

The BlackBerry Bold delivers on a number of fronts. Its half-VGA display is one of the sharpest screens we’ve seen on a smartphone, which, combined with the stereo speakers, really boosts the multimedia experience. The Bold also ships with the latest BlackBerry operating system, new productivity applications, and support for HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth. This is on top of all the great messaging capabilities. Of course, it’s not perfect. The smartphone isn’t the sleekest device on the block, and the Web browser could use more work. It’s also not going to have the mass appeal of an Apple iPhone 3G, nor would we recommend it to the general consumer. With its feature set and strong e-mailing capabilities, the BlackBerry Bold is very much a business-centric smartphone, but what is offers mobile professionals is a premium device that can handle work and play. The RIM BlackBerry Bold will be available November 4 for a slightly pricey $299.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates and discounts.

From Gizmodo about Blackberry Bold:

This is RIM’s best phone ever. Does that mean it’s the phone for you? If you’re a BlackBerry fanatic, yes—it really is the phone you’ve been waiting for, if you’re not hoping RIM radically changed the recipe. Because they didn’t. It’s cleaner and brighter, but it’s not an overhaul by any means. It’s a more powerful and beautiful distillation of the same experience.

For other people who were eyeing it as the time to switch to BlackBerry, the issue is less straightforward. As I said in the intro, it’s coming into a complicated world, where it has more consumer crossover appeal than a flagship RIM device—currently, the 8800—ever has before. (No doubt, even more people are looking at it in light of 3G problems on other handsets, either suit-and-ties who were considering the jump, or people looking for their first high-end smartphone, though more of the former.) At its heart, this thing is a corporate workhouse. It will play movies, music, browse the internet and all of the things consumers usually want—and do it well—but it is coming from a different mindset than the iPhone, something to keep in mind if you’re torn between these two phones.

This is a great story that Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc. and Tickets.com Inc. are launching services to let customers buy tickets directly from their mobile phones, in an ambitious attempt to extend Internet commerce to cellphone screens. Starting this month, U.S. and Canadian BlackBerry users will be able to search Ticketmaster’s inventory and purchase tickets on their handsets. Tickets.com will let baseball fans buy and receive tickets via cellphone from 13 Major League Baseball teams starting with the April 10 opening home game of the Oakland A’s. Tickets.com is a subsidiary of MLB Advanced Media, LP, the interactive media and Internet company of Major League Baseball.
