Most people have discussions over the type of touchscreen. Some say resistive is better while others say capacitive is better. But overall capacitive seems to win.
But there are other factors to be considered such as the cost of production which is higher for capacitive screens and the accuracy which is better in resistive screens. Continue reading “Blackberry Patents Hybrid Touchscreen”

A video of the Blackberry Storm 2 (9550) codenamed Blackberry Odin has been leaked. The phone in the video is an early prototype. The prototype doesn’t have Wi-Fi but the final version of the phone will definitely have Wi-Fi. Physically the Storm 2 is almost identical to the Storm but it has some physical changes which make it better and easier to use. The Storm 2 feels nicer in hand.
The prototype is also running the same firmware as the Storm but it is said to have a newer and improved firmware.
The Blackberry Storm just arrived in our test labs today. The BB 9500 a.ka. Storm is the first ever full touchscreen Blackberry device.
No QWERTY keyboard like the other blackberries but it’s got SurePress technology so that you can use the screen alone. The display is gorgeous and we are drooling at it already.
Since we have got a lot of requests from users to review Blackberry phones you can expect to see lots of posts on the 9500 Storm and 8900 Javelin. Here is a short preview of the Storm.

Though in the initial stages, Ovi Store will be available only in smartphones loaded with the Symbian S60 operating system, but Nokia has promised that it will be enabling the app store for all its phones by early next year.

When I bought the BlackBerry 8703e from Reliance in 2007, the one thing I just could not appreciate was the bulky look and the fact that being a “Business phone” it did not have a camera or a media player.
Back then, in the price range of Rs 16,000, and with Reliance as the service provider, this was the best I could purchase.
Strange, isn’t it? But its true that the recently launched on AT&T networks Blackberry Javelin 8900 is now available on the Crackberry online store for just $19.99. Continue reading “Blackberry Javelin 8900 Available for $19.99 from Crackberry”
