BlackBerry Storm2 9520
BlackBerry Storm2 9520 was launched in October 2009. The phone measures 112.5 x 62.2 x 14 mm and has a weight of 160 grams. It is the second Storm model with touchscreen display and the phone claims to be a refined an improved version. The previous Storm model had issues with the build quality and design, the unresponsive display and the absence of Wi-Fi connectivity. With the Storm2 9520, BlackBerry tried to resolve the issues and this model is definitely better. The four buttons are now integrated into the screen, rather than being separated. The chrome metal band around the phone is darker and less noticeable. The side buttons in this model are now rubberized instead of plastic, so they fit well into the chassis. Blackberry Storm2 9520 boasts a 3.25 inch screen with resolution of 360 x 480 pixels. On the back side, there is a 3.15 MP camera with autofocus and LED flash. The phone runs BlackBerry OS 5 with some great software additions. The tabs are large and user friendly and the phone comes with the SurePress technology allowing you to click on any display area as you click on a button. The phone includes 2 GB of in-built storage and a microSD slot supporting up to 16 GB. BlackBerry Storm2 9520 is powered by a 1400 mAh battery. | |
