The BlackBerry Storm 9500 smartphone has the power and performance to drive your desires, and Vodafone UK are relying on it to be an iPhone beater.

Like Apples iPhone, the BlackBerry Storm smartphone features a touch screen — The first time a touch screen has featured in a Blackberry device.

RIM are calling their Blackberry touchscreen technology 'SurePress' touch screen. With SurePress typing is easy—simply touch the screen to highlight a letter and then press down to make that letter appear in your message or document. A subtle click lets you know the letter has been entered.

The SurePress touch screen also makes navigation a breeze. Like a mouse, your fingertip becomes the cursor as you navigate from application to application. To open an application, press down on the screen.

Vodafone UK will be selling the blackberry 9500 exclusively in the UK.
