Top Reasons to Go for the Second Wind with Blackberry Storm 2

Even though the Blackberry Storm, which was a tremendous marketing success, was dubbed as the “I-Phone killer”, the Storm experience was not completely rainbows and unicorns. There were a lot of issues and negative reviews that surfaced, which are expected of a first year model.

With the release of the Blackberry Storm 2, touch screen giants, such as the iPhone, are sure to be shaken. The improved version of the first Storm is packed with features enough to convince both users and first-time buyers to part with their hard-earned money.

Here, we give you some reasons why you should go for the second Storm.

Unparalleled typing and messaging features

Typing on Storm 2 is far easier than in any other touch screen devices. Its typing technology is probably the biggest improvement it sports compared to its predecessor. The ease in which you can type on the touch screen is really great. It also retains the integrated mail box feature found in the original model.

Composing and sending SMS is also much faster due to the four large piezoelectric pressure sensors that are distributed evenly towards the outer edges of the device underneath the screen. It allows for better responsiveness without exerting much effort in pushing over the keys displayed on the touch screen. There is a rather technical explanation why this works this way at crackberry.com forums.

Security options are also added. Emails can now be individually encrypted with individual Personal Identification Numbers (PIN). All you need to do is to inform your receiver via SMS of the PIN and you are sure that your message is seen by only those you authorize.

Definitely, consensus has it that the Blackberry messaging and push e-mail features are the best in the industry and is undeniably the top choice of many when it comes to messaging functionality.

Blackberry OS 5

Yes, the new Storm will be loaded with the latest Blackberry OS 5.0 version. This allows you to flag emails, tag them by request, color, status and date. For those who have the propensity to keep their emails for many weeks or months in this portable device, keeping track of the days of the emails you are looking at is now quite easy. As you scroll down through a long list of mails, the date header remains static for you to be able to see it.

You can also create, edit and delete folders from the phone itself. In sending photos, you have options to resize them to your desired size. All these enhance messaging capabilities of the Blackberry Storm 2.

With the OS 5, you will also be able to forward calendar entries and view attachments attached to calendar invites. A reminder will also automatically pop up at a pre-set time and gives options to instantly connect a call. This makes the Storm 2 a great PDA for busy people with loads of schedules.

Great New Features

Yes, there are great new features that support connectivity and portability, among the number of improvements. It is Wi-Fi capable, Bluetooth enabled and supports dial-up networking. This gives you a number of options to connect, especially when traveling.

The bigger memory allows for data storage without slowing down performance. This makes this already portable device extra convenient for people on the go.
