The BlackBerry Storm is the first full touchscreen smartphone by RIM. Research in Motion (RIM) has made its mark in making great mobile devices for the business segment with its BlackBerry handsets. It was then not surprising when RIM announced the BlackBerry Storm with a full touch screen interface -- an arena that competing manufacturer Apple is making big waves with its iPhone. The biggest challenge for the BlackBerry Storm when it shed the physical keys was the virtual keyboard. The user interface is very similar to other previous versions of the BlackBerry but the touch navigation becomes a bit frustrating especially when scrolling webpages. As such, 3G (including GPRS) connectivity is practically essential as the BlackBerry relies on it for delivering push email. The BlackBerry Storm has a 1400mAh battery with a capacity of 6 hours talktime and 15 days on standby. To maximize and use the push email functionality, the device requires a BlackBerry service subscription with a RIM partner telcos (both Smart and Globe offer BlackBerry Personal Plans).
