Blackberry Storm2, it looks almost the same as the old folk Storm. Of course, you would not expect the same phone masqueraded by the number “2″. BlackBerry has indeed put out a pretty refined version (although not as obvious as it appears) here. Let us dig deeper into how far Storm2 has come. The design of Storm2 is improved with the expensive-looking tinted chromo edge which magically takes away the plasticity that most of the BlackBerry devices embrace. Some may complain that it is too heavy weighing 160g. It feels pretty hefty and solid, gracing like a mark of quality to me. Retaining the brightness and high-resolution of the 3.25-inch display, the floatiness of the old Storm due to the SurePress screen is eliminated. The speaker feet that make the phone go wobbly placing on smooth surface are gone and the back of Storm2 is looking elegant. The camera is placed in a very unfriendly position as it is easily blocked by your left hand when taking landscape photos. SurePress technology is still a controversial feature. I am gonna explain what this tactile feedback technology does for the newcomers. Unlike conventional touchscreen, to ensure accuracy, BlackBerry Storm series is equipped with SurePress technology that makes you press hard on the screen until it clicks to get feedback from the phone. Touching simply will incur highlight on selected area. Some may find it such a hassle to navigate through the clicky touchscreen (ain’t a touchscreen supposed to be touched?), some may like the accurate typing that it delivers. SurePress in Storm2 is also improved to elicit faster response and more advanced auto-correction. Multi-touch has become more capable in including ALT and SHIFT and copy and paste during text-editing.

BlackBerry Tour runs on the carrier’s respective EV-DO Rev. A 3G networks domestically and offers 3G UMTS/HSPA (2100Mhz) and quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900; GPRS/EDGE) support, so you can get voice and data coverage while traveling outside of North America. The smartphone also offers Bluetooth 2.0 (including stereo Bluetooth and tethering) as well as assisted and autonomous GPS, but unfortunately, there is no Wi-Fi.  As far as design, the BlackBerry Tour is a blend of the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 and the RIM BlackBerry Bold. The device measures 4.4 inches tall by 2.4 inches wide by 0.5 inch thick and weighs 4.5 ounces. There’s a 35-key QWERTY keyboard for easy typing and a 2.44-inch, 480×360-pixel resolution display. That’s good, because much of the Tour’s strength lies in its messaging abilities. RIM is known for its email client, and that’s no different here: as well as Microsoft Exchange support there’s POP and IMAP account functionality, together with instant messaging for the popular formats.
