BlackBerry Storm2 9520 Review
The software may have been updated, but the hardware on the BlackBerry Storm2 is pretty much a carbon copy of its predecessor. Not that that’s a bad thing.
The touch-screen takes some getting used to, particularly if you’re a BlackBerry traditionalist, but it is nice and responsive. As ever, the emailing function is a dream to use and sure to keep you super organised. There’s a lot going on under the bonnet, so it may take some practice to reach the Storm’s full potential.
The BlackBerry Storm2 is packed full of features – too many to mention, even. The excellent email feature supports up to 10 accounts, the QWERTY keypad is nice to type on and the user interface has some intuitive short-cuts. Of course, as with all BlackBerrys, the camera has a way to go if it wants to compete with other high-end media smartphones.
The Storm2 has come on leaps and bounds since its highly criticised predecessor. The browsing experience was rapid, both via 3G and Wi-Fi, and the touch-screen was more responsive. However, it just didn’t match up to other rivals on the market.
Battery life was average.
Pros: Another brilliant emailing device from RIM, setting up multiple accounts so that you receive correspondence direct to your phone is a breeze.
Cons: The copy and paste facility is so hard to master that it will most likely remain redundant.

Verdict: Packed with enough features to keep even the most avid tech-addict entertained, the overall experience just isn’t as smooth as some of the Storm2’s competitors.
