Good news, boys and girls, that update RIM promised to have out in a few weeks really does make almost everything better on the BlackBerry Storm says Boy Genius, who has already snagged OS 4.7.0.76. (The current, crashy version is 4.7.0.65.) The accelerometer is quicker, battery life is improved, touchscreen is more responsive, music player is snappier, and overall, it just crashes less. There are two tradeoffs, however: Data connectivity seems to be slower, and ...

Fresh off of our review of Nintaii for BlackBerry, where BBCool JB gave it a stellar 4 out of 5, I was contacted today by the fine folks at Mobigloo. They wanted to let me know that Nintaii was now available for BlackBerry Storm users - and is likely the first BlackBerry Storm game to make use of the accelerometer. You can check out the video above demonstrating Nintaii’s addictive gameplay, or read the review ...

The Blackberry Storm is getting a lot of criticism around the web. The most notable is the rant by David Pogue over at the New York Times. His story titled “No Keyboard? And You Call This a BlackBerry?” is so filled with frustration, anger and disappointment that I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the poor PR managers at Research in Motion. I can highly recommend reading it. Here is one of many videos showing ...

A helpful tipster with the inside scoop just let us know that Verizon has launched the VCAST Music application today for the BlackBerry Storm. VCAST Music allows you to purchase songs individually or subscribe to get unlimited access for $14.99 per month. A quick catalog search of Verizon’s offering tells me that VCAST Music has millions of songs available. You can learn more about VCAST Music at the link below and view another image of ...

“Tirate fuori gli ombrelli, arriva lo Storm”. Questo il motto di Vodafone e Blackberry che, in una fredda serata milanese, hanno presentato insieme il nuovo Storm. Insieme perché lo sviluppo è avvenuto congiuntamente (dimenticatevi una versione “no-brand quindi), con influenze sia da parte del carrier telefonico, sia da parte di RIM. Il risultato è un prodotto che stupisce, un ottimo cellulare che tuttavia mantiene qualche punto d’ombra. Partiamo subito dalla domanda che gira in rete: ...

Filed under: Original, Telefonía Pocas críticas han sido tan lacerantes y agrias como las que ha espetado el gurú columnista del New York Times David Pogue a la Storm de BlackBerry. Según él, es un producto fallido en concepto, no ha aprendido nada del teclado del iPhone, critica amargamente las pulsaciones innecesarias que hay que hacer para activar determinadas funciones.Pogue alude a multitud de fallos, bloqueos, resets y la desesperante lentitud (habla de dos segundos ...

We have a soft spot for genius comedian-actor-writer-gadget-juggler Stephen Fry here at the Giz. He speaks things as he sees them, as an end user, with his usual wit. Lately he has been playing with a BlackBerry Storm and, like our review, he thinks that it's no you-know-who killer. In fact, he completely smashes it in his condensed Twitter review: Been playing with the BB Storm. Shockingly bad. I mean embarrassingly awful. Such a disappointment. ...

Check out the video preview below of the new blackberry storm - coming soon from Bell and Telus in Canada. Overall the touch screen looks impressive with its “tactile” enhanced keyboard - although it’s ironic that zoom in and out and other common features are menu driven instead of touch, pinch, or pull driven like the iphone. Having said that, full marks for a great looking camera with flash and gosh - a copy and ...

As a proponent of ‘blogging from your BlackBerry’, one of the features of my BlackBerry Bold that really lets me down is the camera. Even though it is vastly superior to previous BlackBerry models, it’s not quite web-tech blog quality. Obviously, one of the first things I did when I sat down with the Telus BlackBerry Storm was a camera comparison. As you can see, the BlackBerry Storm easily outperforms the Bold’s camera. Not only ...

Blackberry Storm'a ilişkin ilk inceleme yine bu sütunlarda gsmteknik11 tarafından yapılmıştı. Artık yurtdışında Vodafone tarafından satılmaya da başladı. Yeni Storm geleneksel Blackberry çizgilerini korumaya devam ediyor, ancak özellikle üzerindeki teknolojilerden SurePress yepyeni bir yaklaşım sunuyor. Bu teknoloji ile ekrandaki dokunmanız normal bir tuşlu telefona dokunmanız ile aynı şekilde (kliklenebilen tuşlar) çalışıyor. Üzerinde bulunan HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access) teknolojisi ile 3G ortamlarda çok hızlı veri aktarımı yapıyor ve bu nedenle de Wi-Fi'le ihtiyaç duymadığı ...

E eles descobriram o segredo por trás da sua touchscreen “clique”: a placa da tela inteira aperta um único microswitch, portanto ela nada mais é que um enorme botão. Eles também encontraram em algum lugar lá dentro o processador Qualcomm MSM7600 e botaram a culpa nele pelo desempenho moroso do telefone com o chip multitarefa, já que ele ...

And they discovered the secret behind it's "click" touchscreen—the whole screen's backplate presses on a single microswitch, so it's one big button. They also found the Qualcomm MSM7600 processor in there somewhere, and laid blame for sluggish phone performance on that multi-tasking chip's plate, since it runs just about everything on the phone. ...

Well, it looks it looks like we can put the first Storm conspiracy theory to rest, as RIM has now come out and said that the supposed delay-causing Storm OS glitch was, in fact, more of a sticker glitch, and that there was never such a thing as an OS version 4.7.0.82. As you may recall, the rumors started flying when some Storms started showing up with a sticker indicating the OS version as 4.7.0.82, ...

Ugh, I’m betting this news will give Verizon subscribers a case of the Mondays. One business day after their launch of the BlackBerry Storm, Verizon has placed a notice on their online ordering page stating that “Due to limited availability of the BlackBerry® Storm™ 9530 smartphone, orders will ship by 12/15.” Ouch. It looks like your best bet for getting a BlackBerry Storm before then is to pick one up in-store. Check out our BlackBerry ...

For some people, a BlackBerry Storm review isn’t enough.

In doing so, some of the smartphone’s more obvious frustrations are explained. The occasionally sluggish performance comes down to RIM’s choice of processor. On the surprisingly small mainboard there’s a Qualcomm MSM7600 CPU, ...

Unlike other companies’ offerings, the Storm has a touchscreen that clicks when you press it. phoneWreck disassembled the Storm to see what magic was involved in the device. There’s not much too it, it’s just a big button. pW notes that the entire phone board is very compact mostly due to RIM using Qualcomm’s latest MSM7600 chip. Items like bluetooth, ...
