After the Blackberry Bold, RIM is launching the smartphone market entirely touch history to bring a little more appealing to the general public by these phones have a large screen. Storm is the only driver on the finger and thus ignore the two as yet appreciated by users of Blackberry: wheel navigation and physical keyboard. It also has free WiFi, what idea! The terminal does not provide a simple touch interface, as it crosses on the most mobile of the genre, but innovative in using the iPhone's sensitive side (a simple touch is enough to select a function) and by adding pressure, a click (the screen goes slightly), to confirm his choice. The screen requires two Clickable manipulations meant avoiding selection errors often encountered with the touch phones. Good idea?
Blackberry Storm 9500 Mobile Phone
RIM is trying to position their product differently! Originality, convenience, time saving, reduced margin of error, ease of use, responsiveness? What is the Storm on a daily basis? Her fantasy is ergonomically effective?
Sure Press a moving screen original, surprising for a singular manipulation
Hand, undoubtedly, the Storm is RIM signed. A later "industrial" in addition to not displease. If how to navigate the menus differ from traditional phones to the mark, its pace is easily identifiable: sober black, brushed aluminum mixture of plastic and gives the phone enough pro style, perhaps a bit too male for the fairer sex.

Same profile
If all made a good impression, one tick on the screen, more precisely on the edge of it which shows a space. So that the screen goes slightly under the pressure of the finger, the edges are not fixed to the device. This is astonishing: In what state is the device after a few weeks of use and hours spent at the bottom of a bag, a pocket? Dust and dirt will certainly be a priority. In addition, it gives the phone an aspect of unfinished products. Quite strange.
So, good or bad surprise, this new way to browse? If the beginnings are somewhat confusing, both to conduct operations - selection, then click - are finally to use fairly natural.
Noteworthy is the display quality of the screen, helped by a higher definition (480x360) than the iPhone (480x320) for a screen size slightly lower, images and video (MPEG-4 H. 263, MPEG-4 H.264 and WMV) offer a very nice record. Unfortunately, this quality is undeniably tarnished by a lack of regular responsiveness, and a lack of fluidity that sometimes is not far from irritating (see below).
An efficient interface due to generous size icons
Without overflow originality, Storm interface is neat, simple and intuitive: it takes little time to understand the operation. However, it is still quite far from intuitive elementary unique and fun of the iPhone. And for a public phone, ease of use almost immediately should be mandatory.
