Blackberry Storm 2 9550 and 9520 smartphones launched

RIM’s Blackberry series of Smartphone were traditionally known as business phones, until they released Storm in late 2008. The Blackberry Storm is the first touch enabled Blackberry phone, with large high resolution screen, better connectivity, and new Surepress technology that bring keypad like experience in touch enabled handsets.  However, many users complained about the non responsive touch screen of Blackberry storm, which makes numerous errors while typing on it. Since the heart of Blackberry is messaging, the storm failed to impress people in several aspects.  Moreover, the original storm lacks Wi-Fi connectivity.  RIM later fixed several issues with Storm and released Blackberry Storm 2. The new device was launched in US on October of 2009. Blackberry storm 2 includes a redesigned Surepress technology, Wi-Fi and Blackberry OS 5.0. There will be two models of Blackberry Storm 2, 9550 and 9520 based on the network connectivity available in different regions.
