BlackBerry Storm2 9520 review: Back in Black... Berry

08 January 2010
RIM are a company with style and simply hopping on the touchscreen bandwagon with another iPhone wannabe just wouldn't suit them. They certainly realized the importance of having a full-touch device in their portfolio but wanted a clear and legible BlackBerry imprint on it...

      "It's actually a very good phone from a very good manufacturer.
      Research In Motion (RIM) sells more smartphones in North America than any other company.."

      I agree, I had the 9500 and loved it, though it did have its faults, ie, quite slow at times - but that depended on how much you cleaned up the files and got rid of any messages/call listings etc

      Reason why they sell more in north america may be down to the fact that every member of staff in the emergency services must have a blackberry device.

                  it nice to look at, much nicer thatn the 1st storm but that is about it. still signal issues and quite alot of other issues with it. think i shall stick to either the conventional b;ackberry's where less problems with them

                    Although the BlackBerry Reprasentative assures me it's a "very good handset"...

                        It's actually a very good phone from a very good manufacturer.
