This can be seen from the technology SurePress (SurePress Technology) on the touch screen, which won the Best Mobile Technology Breakthrough at the Global Mobile Awards 2009 through the MWC, Barcelona, 16-19 February 2009.
SurePress technology is the touch screen technology that has the effect of bounce (haptic feedback) as the usual physical. This could practically form a unique technology from RIM. Because, in the previous series, RIM's popular BlackBerry devices as a creator with typical QWERTY keyboard arrangement has many business functions.

E-mail files are entered automatically be rendered first by the BlackBerry server. Thus, while the display is made more friendly settingnya. Users can also attach an attachment format. Jpg,. Pdf,. Doc,. Xls and. Ppt when sending e-mail.
As for IM, in addition to BlackBerry Messenger, users are allowed to download additional applications like googletalk, Skype, Messenger, MSN Messenger, and so on according to user needs. BlackBerry Storm has adopted the Java built-in. So that applications can run Java-based as long as it should be able to support the BlackBerry OS.
Multimedia
Storm, which was equipped port speakerphone with 3.5 mm audio jack, also pinned media player (which supports MP3, WMA, and AAC +) and video player (which supports MPEG4, 3gp, H.264, WMV up). Not to forget voice dial and voice memo to facilitate the user in making a call or just a reminder.
Meanwhile, in addition to GPS and BlackBerry Maps as a bookmark direction, Storm also capable dipermewah with 3.15 MP camera (2048x1536 pixels) with digital zoom, auto-focus, and flash LED. Not only for taking pictures, this camera also works for moving pictures.
Storm 9500 also includes additional applications, such as Viigo, Facebook, Opera Mini, and the like, as long as no more than 1GB of internal storage. Users can add storage capacity with microSD up to 16GB.
Connectivity
To send data or files to another device or PC, the Storm is a mini USB 2.0 cable and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP. The USB cable can also be used for data synchronization and charging. While it could be bluetooth for handsfree and A2DP stereo headset.
In addition, for data access, Storm also supports GPRS class 10 (32-48 kbps) and EDGE class 10 (236.8 kbps). Unfortunately, in the era before the WiMax technology, this premium device is not equipped with a modem instead WLAN, so that does not have Wi-Fi feature.
Design
Clayey front side, Storm elegant with a wide glossy screen vertically. Four buttons at the bottom of the screen, making her look not adventurous. Bravo!
Speaking further screen, of Storm 'is the winner among other BlackBerry range, since only pinned Storm touch-screen technology measuring 65 thousand color 3.25-inch 360x480 pixel resolution.
The ability of this screen is equipped with a backlight that can retain images look clear and bright even in the sun. Everything feels more complete with accelerometer sensor for auto rotation (auto-rotate) to follow gravity.
Performance
For about three weeks VIVAnews observed, Storm's performance was no better than the Bold. It found no problems about the system or machine. However, to speed the process, Storm defeated when juxtaposed with the Bold.
This is likely caused by a processor that is not better. Storm adopts Qualcomm's MSM7500 chip speed 528MHz with 128 MB of RAM memory. Bold has a better specification, which is capable 624MHz processor with the same memory capacity, 128MB. Very surprising given the Storm is touch sailing device, while the Bold candybar without a touch-screen technology.
This is worsened by a less sharp evaluation by RIM about the time required for start-ups. When Bold takes 4-5 minutes, the Storm was not much different. Ironically again, with rich multimedia features, the battery capacity Storm worse than the Bold, only Li-Ion 1400 mAh, 1500 mAh, while the Bold. As a result, Storm is only able to survive one day of normal use within the corridor. Naturally, prices become slow Storm from day to day, from Rp 8.5 million since its launch to around 5.6 million per unit.
Pros:
- Internet faster, 3G/HSDPA support for infrastructure
- Touch screen technology SurePress
- Voice quality is very good call
- Functions for dual-mode roaming, EV-DO Rev A and UMTS / HSDPA
- 3.2 MP camera capable
Disadvantages:
- Does not support Wi-Fi, FM radio, flash or flash-based animation
- Slow process, limited processor capabilities, can not video call
- Battery-intensive, more lavishly than any other candybar BlackBerry
- E-mail only applies to the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS)
- SurePress technology makes this phone really limited to the multimedia category, because it is not helpful to the process of text editing.
