Blackberry Storm: RIM Shakes Off The keypad
When the iPhone 3G got an upgrade to back up MS Exchange, it got a greater menace to enterprise users esp. the Blackberry users. RIM opposed and introduced its first touch screen device — the Blackberry Strom (9530). That’s in spite of the fact that back in June 2008, Blackberries were dealing more than twice as many as the iPhone 3G. RIM doesn’t want to drop-off while Apple plays catch-up. The Blackberry Storm (13.95mm) is less than 2-millimeter thicker than the iPhone 3G (12.3mm) and weighs 22grams heavier. It also has mobile streaming, permits tethering to your laptop to share internet and can sync your desktop iTunes music files applying BlackBerry Media Sync.
The top feature of Blackberry is the full entourage of email connectivity and management — MS Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino, Novell GroupWise as well as enterprise email account and personal email accounts — that trumps MobileMe by a mile.
