The BlackBerry is a wireless handheld device introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager. In 2002, the more commonly known smartphone BlackBerry was released, which supports push e-mail, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services as well as a multi-touch interface.
After reviewing the first clamshell manufactured by RIM, BlackBerry 8220 Pearl Flip, Pure Mobile has offered us the opportunity to test the first BlackBerry smartphone to feature a touch screen, BlackBerry Storm 9500. The device itself has been especially developed to be a direct competitor to Apple's iPhone 3G, T-Mobile's G1 by HTC, and to the lastest HTC Touch family device.
Whether it either succeeds or not, we will discover in the following review. Bear in mind that while the device is only sold branded, there are still unlocked versions of the smartphone, which allows owners to use it with any GSM service provider.
Announced in September 2008, the Blackberry Storm 9500 smartphone was made available on the market two months later, in November 2008. At the moment, the handset can be acquired for the amount of $520USD, unlocked with no plan.
