Compare BlackBerry Storm2 9520 deals

BlackBerry received mixed reviews last year for the original Storm, which was the first touchscreen BlackBerry device. The new BlackBerry Storm2 is exactly the same size as the original Storm, many of the issues have been addressed and BlackBerry have piled in even more technology, producing a fuller, smoother-running device, with an improved touchscreen.

The on-screen QWERTY keyboard now allows for simultaneous double-touching, which means faster typing. The keys now feel more real by both audibly and physically clicking. As anticipated, the Storm2 now has Wi-Fi, something that was sorely missing in the original Storm. Internal memory has been increased to 2GB and can be expanded with a microSD card. Many Google apps will work on the Storm2, such as Gmail and Google Maps, and the Storm2 has GPS. The 3.15 megapixel camera has autofocus, LED flash, image stabiliser and geo-tagging. Apps for Twitter and Facebook are pre-installed and photos can be uploaded directly from the phone. Business users will be happy too, with push email, calendar and contacts that are compatible with Microsoft Exchange, Novell Group Wise and Lotus Domino.
