BlackBerry 9500 or codenamed with Storm was a splendid breakthrough from RIM. In my opinion, the Storm was one of the BlackBerry notable milestone since trackball.
No I'm not exaggerating. Here are the reason why :
- Storm is the first BlackBerry using touch screen and no hardware keyboard at all.
- Storm is also the first 'multimedia' based BlackBerry as we could see it from the large display and storming audio.
- Storm touch screen technology is also somewhat revolutional. It adopts the SureType into SurePress and also a mechanic on capacitive screen display which will make the user feels like clicking in a real button. Well, I am surely cannot explain the feeling perfectly using words, but trust me it works. Storm's virtual keyboard + clicking display is working really fine.
- Have I mentioned that you could use a traditional 'abc' style keypad + qwerty + SurePress? Choose whichever suits you better. No pressure.
- It has the best camera that BlackBerry ever embedded to its device -> 3,2 Mpx + Auto Focus.
- It could record Video.
I'm currently using the official OS 5.0.484 for Telkomsel and it seems that everything went well until today. I have no complains at all using this device.
Well, actually there was one complain. I couldn't stand the auto-rotate feature that Storm has. Everytime I hold it wrong, it will automatically rotate and that is very annoying. I solve it by buying StopTilt software from CrackBerry or you could get it at Mobihand or in BlackBerry App World for $4,99 and that was the best software for Storm so far. LOL.
Other application that I installed are : Google Sync, Opera Mini, OpenBeak, SmartBBattery, Quick Pull, and Forward Reply Edit. I also found a few good games : Labyrinth LITE, Shotgun, CoinToss for Storm, Lights Out, Flight Path and SL Blackjack.
Actually there are still many good software but all I installed above are the free one :) Except for the StopTilt of course.
At the end I would really recommend this BlackBerry for you who :
- Needs a BlackBerry!
- Likes Touch Screen
- Likes to watch videos on your handheld (big screen!)
- Likes to be different from other crackberries. In Jakarta most of the BlackBerry are Bold series and Curve series
- Likes a new thing. Yes the typing might be stressful for some people (not me!) and trust me all you need to do is more practicing and typing as many as you can.
In Jakarta, or more specifically in Indosat BlackBerry mailing lists, the Storm is said to be sold for only IDR 2,5 million (around USD 270 at this moment). It's cheaper than BlackBerry 9630, BlackBerry 8900 and slightly more expensive than BlackBerry 8520.
