Research in Motion (RIM) announced today the availability of the new touchscreen Blackberry Storm in the Philippines. The Storm is RIM’s first foray into touchscreen handsets, obviously aimed at the iPhone 3G market.
RIM announced the Blackberry Storm and partnered with Smart Communications and Globe Telecom on postpaid plans.
The Storm is expected to be available from Smart in June. Pricing information and pre-orders are available through the respective Relationship Managers and Account Managers of the Corporate Business and Small and Medium Enterprise Groups, starting from free with the Plan 3500.
This will also be made available for personal subscriptions through the Wireless Consumer and Infinity Groups.
On the other hand, Globe Telecom also announced new Blackberry Personal Postpaid Plans starting today, including the Blackberry Storm handset:
Globe’s Personal BlackBerry Plans are available at Plan 700 for 5 MB of data, which is approximately 55 emails per day. The Plan 850 gives subscriber 8 MB of data for approximately 90 emails per day. The Plan 1100 allows 10 MB of data so its user gets approximately 115 emails per day. Number of emails per day is based on estimated emails using a BlackBerry handset. egular mobile Internet browsing rates of P0.15 per KB apply in excess of the plan.

Hi! well ive got blackberry storm that I bought in the states and I have globe prepaid. is there a chance I could use globe’s wireless eventhough I’m not postpaid?
black berry is superb….. nothing can compare to it…
a friend of mine has one of those. personally, iphone pa rin ako.
But what do you guys reckon about the Nokia N97? Iphone/Blackberry killer daw eh.
can somebody give me some advise, im going to buy a CP but im torn between Blackberry storm or iphone 3g di ako mabusisi sa mga feautures ng cp kung ano lang maganda yun ang bibilin ko, ang dami kong nabasa na reviews for blackberry and iphone parang pareho lang cia. so please give an idea which one is better kung gagamit lang ako ng prepaid.thanks.
@ sandz, here’s the sitch… blackberry storm has no wifi and has really bad reviews because of the SurePress touchscreen that makes texting slow. it’s the best-looking in my opinion (coz almost everyone has the iphone), but has usability issues. too bad coz its so hot-looking. The Blackberry Bold HAS wifi, so people tend to opt for this smartphone, although it is more expensive than the Storm (it is more functional but has a 2.0 megapixel camera only), and has a QWERTY keyboard lang (and may lalabas na Blackberry Tour that looks almost exactly like it but w/ a better camera at 3.2 MP so why bother…though i dunno when that will come out sa Pinas). The newly released iphone 3GS has the wifi feature, kaso apparently may limitations with multitasking between apps (you get signed off sa isang app before you can use another one), but still is the best-rated thing sa market. idk if that can be improved by apple anytime soon. wala pa rin perfect. Even the follow-up to the Storm (which will be called Thunder and will be released in October in the US), industry insiders are still unsure if it’ll have the wifi feature.
which one is better? iPhone 16g or blackberry storm or bold?
hey guyz?? where can i buy that cool phone?? i want to have one tomorrow.. please???
