BlackBerry Storm 9530 Review

It is a little over a month since I my Blackberry Storm Review Unit received and I must say it was a lukewarm experience. With the world’s first “clickable” touch screen display, but offers a similar experience to the heavyweight champion, the iPhone 3G? How about the other competitors with Windows Mobile? Before we dive into the review and my thoughts on the product, I have decided not to characteristics that make a BlackBerry-like push e-mail, contacts, calendar, mark and other PIM functions such as.

It is clear that Research in Motion (RIM), maker of the BlackBerry, their time spent designing the product (but not eliminate bugs, we will talk about it later!) And get it right, unlike other competitors on the iPhone as LG and HTC. The Storm 9530 has a 3.25 “touch screen display of glass, with SurePress technology. Effectively, the technology makes SurePress the entire display a button that the user feedback in the selection of an on-screen interface element. At first I was just tap the screen to navigate through the phone to forget, actually push down on the display, but after the first week or so, I was comfortable enough and found myself getting used to.

Unlike the iPhone, there are more than one key (in addition to the touch-screen), including talk/end, menu and navigation buttons along the back bottom. The Storm uses the fast EVDO Rev. A network with support for HSDPA/UMTS networks.

The whole device weighs 5.46 ounces and measures 4.4″ x 2.4″ x 0.55″, a bit smaller than the iPhone. Being both an original iPhone, iPhone 3G and a user, it was for me to get used to the keyboard SurePress hard. First time visitors, it should work without problems after typing on it for a few days. Something that I missed in person from the Storm was the trackball that users accustomed now to the Pearl, Curve, and Bold. It would be a have nice gesture for a simple one-hand operation and selection of specific items on a web page with tons of links.

Unlike some smart phones, the Storm 9530 has a standard 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, making it easy in your favorite headphones with A2DP support for stereo Bluetooth headsets plug the gap between a business-oriented and a music oriented phone.

Compared with the iPhone 3G, the 9530 has a 3.2 megapixel camera with video, autofocus and flash. The image quality was disappointing: Colors were washed out and looked soft objects. The auto focus is an improvement over the lack of an on iPhone and iPhone 3G, however, makes it easy to get a close-up shots of small objects.

With a large touch screen display has its advantages, including ads from big website with lots of content. It is probably the best BlackBerry browser I’ve come across, but it does not work in the vicinity of the power of the WebKit-based browser Safari Mobile to come on the iPhone. It was uncomfortable for me especially when I click on the screen and nothing happened tried to pinch.

The overall performance of the Smartphone software was sluggish and laggy when the phone from landscape to portrait mode, or while navigating menus and launching applications. The BlackBerry Application Center (clearly a rival to the iPhone App Store) offers only a handful of applications, but this figure should increase when the full service to launch later this year.

Call quality was very good and there was no evidence of background noise or distorted audio. On the contrary, the kit was completely different results. Uneven and rough, the quality of the cut at both ends of the conversation abruptly by saying experienced. Battery life was excellent and during our testing, received approximately 6-7 hours of talk time per battery charge.
