Blackberry Storm 2 Review
By admin on March 2nd, 2010
With the BlackBerry Storm 2 9550 you get touchscreen technology that is reliable and easy to use. A BlackBerry 9550 review will show that this next generation Storm is better in nearly every way from the original Storm.
One of the improvements that you’ll discover with the BlackBerry Storm 9550 is that you have more connectivity options; this include internationally, as well as domestically. You will also get BlackBerry’s new operating system, which provides several enhancements that make this phone a pleasure to use. If your company uses the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, you will be especially happy with some of the new features that you get with BlackBerry 9550 Storm 2.
The BlackBerry Storm 2 9550 measures 4.43 x 2.45 x 0.55 inches, and weighs about 5.64 ounces. This is slightly larger than many BlackBerry models, but not too much bigger than the original Storm. Sure this phone is a little larger, but then again you do get a lot with that extra real estate too. The Storm 2 features a 3.25-inch touchscreen with 480 x 360 resolution, as well as an upgraded system so that using the touchscreen is easier than it was with the Storm 1. There is multi touch capability, and the new screen technology is faster.
Another improvement featured with the BlackBerry 9550 Storm 2 is that it comes with twice as much memory; this model has 256MB of flash memory and 2GB of storage space. In addition to all of this memory, it also comes with a 16GB, preinstalled microSD card. With this much memory you should have no problem storing your music and videos.
The BlackBerry Storm 2 9550 does come with WiFi, which is also a welcomed feature; the battery life for this phone is rated for about 5 hours of talk time and over 9 days of standby time.
You do get a web browser for surfing the Internet, and although the browser that comes with the BlackBerry 9550 Storm 2 is better than what came with the older models, it is still far from as good as what you can get with other smartphones.
One of the best features you’ll get is the ability to view email attachments in a variety of different file formats; you will be able to view Microsoft Word documents, PDF, Excel, Power Point and more. This is a great feature for the business user. Another nice feature for the professional is the phone’s support for up to 10 email accounts.
If you liked the Storm 1, you’ll absolutely love the BlackBerry Storm 2 9550; you get a lot of upgrades, a better touchscreen, plus a lot more. This phone can be a little pricey, but you might be able to get a great deal if you buy this phone through a contract with a mobile service provider, plus you can look for discounts online.
