Poor Excellent

Look and feel

Fans of the BlackBerry Bold’s design-friendly UI, with its cool minimalist white-on-black icons, will be pleased to see that it has been exported successfully to the Storm.

Ease of use

The virtual QWERTY keyboard is fiddly, but it is as good as (if not better than) the iPhone’s version.

Features

There is a fabulous array of social networking functions on offer.

Performance

The Storm has rolled up in style with the world’s first clickable touch-screen.

Battery Life

The battery life is reasonably good.

BlackBerry Storm

Pros: The clickable touch-screen UI is generally excellent, as is the video function and the social networking apps.
Cons: There is no Wi-Fi and BlackBerry fanatics will find the virtual keypad fiddly.
