Best New Cell Phones

The first Blackberry were introduced to the market in 1999, heralding the dawn of convergence devices. The Blackberry (before Blackberry Cellular Phones was originaly intended as a complicated pager. But its local messaging system was so effective that it quickly earned a cult following of such magnitude that Webster’s New World School Compendium recognized “crackberry” as the “New Word of the Year”. RIM’s newest release of the BlackBerry Storm, is trying to un-king the mighty iPhone, which appears to have a lock on being the #1 selling mobile phone. The Storm’s partner on this is Verizon, as it is being offered as part of Verizon Phones, who is still reeling from its mistake of turning down Steve Jobs’ iPhone (Verizon as a carrier). If Verizon is trying to make up for losing the iPhone, at least it’s heading in the right direction. The Storm has a wide screen, touchscreen interface that offers lots of the same features as the iPhone, but with some boosted enhancements on the touch screen display. The outcome of these improvements ismixed. Not like the normal keyboard, the onscreen buttons are not able to keep up with terribly fast typing. Those used to Blackberry’s old way of doing things (using thumbs to text) may not be able to get out a message with equal speed and ease.

The clickthrough interface requires a good amount of practice, if you want to become used to pushing the touch sensitive screen down till there’s a click, in sheer contrast to the flowing interactivity one gets from the iPhone.

Likewise, since your finger is on it, the blue highlight that displays to ratify that a given button is active is tough to see.

So if it’ll go down in history as a design mishap or an all out mistake, is still to be seen. Last and perhaps least of all, this Blackberry also doesn’t offer the predictive spelling aid functions available with the iPhone. If you are a bad speller, the Blackberry won’t supply you with much of a safety net. The browser renders HTML completely and quickly, with context delicate page drag features enabling you to move around a given internet page. The sole gripe here is that form fields are a little troublesome to fill out. Though the browser earned high praise, the absence of Wi-Fi on the telephone is quite the mystery. While Verizon’s EV-DO coverage is marvelous, there aret a lot of situations where Wi-Fi would have been really useful. As for the robust, commercial design, Blackberry gets the thumbs up.

The benefit of discarding the tactile keyboard and trademarked trackball behind is a faster, flatter, three.25 in. glass face. Four familiar Blackberry keys are at the base of the telephone Telephone , Menu, Back, and End / Power. The telephone also comes included with a mini USB key as well as 3.5mm headset jack. One possible drawback of the design concerns whether metal construction is superior to plastic. The phone is matched with the even more wonderful Verizon (for cellular service coverage) that should keep the Storm well positioned in the race to become cell phone king.
