Blackberry Storm = Blackberry Thunder: Specifications and Features
Blackberry has always been popular in the United States, Canada and Europe, but not so much in Asia like here in the Philippines. However, recent news has it that the Brand Blackberry Storm (officially called Blackberry Storm Smartphone 9530) is actually the same as the Blackberry Thunder highly advertised not so long ago. At any rate, the Blackberry Storm/Thunder comes as a competition to Apple’s iPhone 3G because it provides almost identical features (touchscreen, predictive text messaging, etc). Some say the Blackberry Storm is even better than iPhone 3G’s features.
However, the Blackberry Storm/Thunder specifications are not as impressive as other smartphones because it lacks the wi-fi capability smartphones are known for. It packs an 8Gb micro SDHC memory card though.
The official carrier of the Blackberry Storm in the United States are Verizon Wireless and AT&T.
