BlackBerry Storm




The BlackBerry Storm, or BlackBerry Thunder, is a smartphone developed by Research In Motion (RIM). It is part of the BlackBerry 9500 series of phones. It is RIM's first touchscreen device and first device without a physical keyboard. It features a touchscreen which reacts physically like a button via SurePress, a Research In Motion patented technology of providing haptic feedback. It will be available through Vodafone in the UK, Ireland and Australia,  Verizon Wireless in the United States, Telus and Bell in Canada.

Hardware: 

SurePress: The Storm's most prominent feature is its SurePress™ touchscreen. This screen allows the user to navigate through the phone using their fingertip, similar to a computer's mouse, and "click" the screen by pushing down to select. Users have the ability to adjust the screen's settings so that double tapping can be employed as an alternate method to select and navigate the phone. This made the Storm one of the few touchscreen smartphones to provide haptic feedback.
Display: 3.25 in (8.3 cm) TFT-LCD flat touch-sensitive HVGA scratch-resistant screen with 360 X 480 pixel resolution and able to display 65,536 colors. The touchscreen eliminates the need for use of a stylus as it uses a glass capacitive touchscreen.
CPU: The Storm utilizes a 624 MHz MSM7600 CPU from Qualcomm[10]
Battery: The Storm features a user-replaceable, rechargeable DX-1 Li-ion battery stated to be capable of providing up to 5.5 hours of GSM talk time, 6 hours of CDMA talk time, or 360 hours of standby.
Text Input: The Storm implements a virtual keyboard on its touchscreen. Using its accelerometer allows the user to switch between a virtual SureType keyboard when held normally, and in a full QWERTY keyboard when held in landscape mode. The device has an automatic spell check correction, and predictive text,
Camera: The device features a built-in 3.2 megapixel camera located on back which features flash and autofocus.
Memory: The device features 1GB of onboard memory and an expandable memory slot support for a microSD card of up to an additional 16GB.
