21st April, 2011 - Posted by admin - No Comments

Customers even only slightly familiar with smartphones no doubt recognize the Blackberry. Research in Motion set the bar quite high with its original version and has continued to blaze the smartphone trail with each subsequent version of the Blackberry Storm. The Blackberry Storm 3 picks up directly after the Storm 2 and freshens it up to counter the iPhone’s continued popularity.

Preliminary reports are that the Blackberry Storm 3 is a touch up of the Storm 2, almost considered a version 2.5. One of the first things customers will notice on the Storm 3 is the totally touch screen QWERTY keyboard, eliminating the sometimes flimsy and breakable sliding version found on other phones. It will please Storm 3 customers to know that it is an accurately sensitive touch screen, preventing an inordinate amount of errors. The screen itself is a considerable 3.7” AMOLED capacitive touch screen, allowing scads of functions to appear in large scale.

Powering these features and functions is the Blackberry OS 6.0, customized for the Storm 3. When users surf the internet, the OS 6.0 operating system provides the engine for RIM’s Webkit web browser. Early reports are that the browser is a big improvement over its predecessor. 8 or 16 GB of storage offer enough storage for plenty of videos and photographs, within reason of course. The memory can be expanded up to 1GB RAM and 1GB ROM. Videos and photos are captured on a 5 megapixel camera with a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels.

Another aspect of the Storm 3 that sets it apart is the fact that it’s a World Edition handset. It is a 3G phone that gives HSDPA at 10.2 Mbps and WiFi capabilities at 802.11n connectivity. The standard Li-Ion battery provides nearly 9 hours of standby time in 2G mode and upwards of 5 hours in 3G. Bluetooth version 3.0 is on the handset and the Storm 3 stores a large assortment of ringtones in MP3 and WAV formats.

RIM has taken what worked on the Blackberry Storm 2 and updated those things on the Storm 3. All of the features that customers look for are found on the Storm 3 and operate quite effortlessly. RIM continues to keep the bar high with this handset.
