It looks like there’s no manufacturer which doesn’t have a touch screen anymore. Verizon Wireless, Vodafone and RIM recently announced the first touchscreen Blackberry, Blackberry Strom 9500.
Blackberry always has been distinguished by their effective e-mail handling for which a physical keyboard is almost essential. Blackberry Storm will try to demonstrate if they have been able to transport this experience to a touch screen phone.
Evidently the focus point of this device is its touch screen, that has a size of 3.25 inches, and a resolution of 480×360 pixels. Blackberry Storm incorporates haptic technology which provides user feedback by means of a small vibration when the screen is in use, besides illuminating the corresponding key so that we also have a visual indication.
Its sensor of ambient light, that we have already seen in other models will automatically fit the brightness of the screen for an optimal visuals and less battery consumption. The accelerometer allows the device to rotate the screen automatically for us when the device is turned. Another important feature is the multitouch screen…
Blackberry Storm has three different keyboards, two in vertical way and one in horizontal. We already had opportunity to see it, but we remember that the qwerty keyboard only appears when we have the Storm in a horizontal position.
We figured out if it in vertical, it offers two different options. First is the SureType keyboard; same as the one that is already in use with Pearl, while second is a “typical” with multiple letters in each key.
As far as multimedia Blackberry Storm has a of 3.2MP camera in addition to the ability to record videos.
In order to store content you’ll have to use microSD memory cards which is supported up to 16 GB. You can listed to all your music on your card either with an earphone through the 3.5mm audio jack or wireless with a bluetooth headset.
And don’t forget the phone and network features of Blackberry storm. It supports 3G with HSDPA support.
However the main reason why Blackberry Storm is on Navigadget is because of its GPS receiver. With that you will be able to use applications like Google Maps, besides associating each picture taken with its location. And we’re sure there will be some dynamic turn-by-turn navigation application.
Blackberry storm has a battery of 1400mAh which lasts 6 hours in conversation and up to 15 days in stand-by mode.

Hopefully that’s EVDO-A not HSDPA if we are talking about Verizon’s network!

Scott- YES, it is EVDO-A (Yay!)
In response to the post regarding the “haptic feedback” that the screen provides: This is not true. The signature of this revolutionary new screen is a technology called “Click Through” whereas the user types as he/she would normally and actually presses down on the screen when they want to use a key. In addition, while on the web, the user can simply use swiping motions just like similar touch-screen phones.
Since the phone will be offered through Verizon only, the system will incorporate VZnavigator for turn by turn directions. There might be some third party apps in the future however…
