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.

Matt  - UK Launch this week   |2008-11-10 15:13:16 The guardian have a piece saying the storm has a UK launch this week ... The Storm, meanwhile, is free to anyone willing to sign up to a two year contract at £35 a month, making it cheaper than the G1 and iPhone. Reply 1   0

Johno  - ZDNET dont like it! It must be bad!   |2008-11-10 21:29:19 Taken from ""community.zdnet.co.uk/blog/0,1000000567, 10009697o-2000331761b,00.htm "Only it doesn't work properly. The screen can only register one keystroke at a time, and - because it has to physically pop back up after each stroke - typing at any kind of reasonable speed just ends up in a mess. It looks so good and it feels so good, but it just doesn't bloody work the way a BlackBerry should. What's worse, the up-down mechanics of the screen seem to have led RIM to not seal the screen's borders properly. You can see a very thin gap around the whole thing, offering a slight view right down to the circuitry. Dust? Water? Whoops. Maybe we didn't get shown the final product, but it just looked like an accident waiting to happen. Reply 0   0
