The Storm 2 is a Good Choice for NO Nonsense People

The Storm 2 has more storage space, quicker response to touching the screen, and technology that helps make typing and selecting accurate. The Storm 2 is fast but could be faster, with Internet speeds not quite reaching the top of the smartphone heap, and a lot of pressing needed for the screen to respond. Its 3.2-megapixel camera could also stand to take sharper images and the camcorder needs more editing options. It comes with entertainment and messaging options, but there’s not much new to set the Storm 2 apart from the long list of smartphone options people currently have.

Design
The Storm 2 has a bar of call send, menu, back and call end keys below the screen. A power button and a mute key are located on the top of the phone and a speaker is located on the bottom of the phone. Volume and camera keys are on the right side of the phone and a voice dialing key and a micro USB/charger port are on the left side. The back of the phone has a durable battery cover and a camera lens and flash.

The Storm 2 has a sleek design and a large screen. It’s not for the touch-screen shy and those that prefer a physical keypad, and it’s not worth a trade-in from a regular Storm if the person just wants a smaller phone, because the design hasn’t changed much.

Features
The handset works in real-time to deliver email messages to multiple email accounts. It has easy cut, paste and type options and the ability to create, edit and read Microsoft Office documents. Applications include a place to store files, voice dialing, password keeper and Excel, PowerPoint and Word To Go. There’s also a Memo Pad and a place to add tasks. The Storm
2 can connect to Verizon’s high-speed 3G network or Wi-Fi.

Screen
The Storm 2 is pretty much all screen. The 3.25-inch display is reflective when turned off. The color range is on the low end — 65K-colors — but the resolution is high at 360 x 480 px. The lack of colors shows in the menu screens, which are often bland and simplistic, a feature common to BlackBerry models. But the resolution comes in handy when watching videos on the phone, which load quickly and come in crisp and clear. While other phones require pushing keys to turn a screen on, the Storm 2 doesn’t have that hassle. A person can turn the screen on by touching the screen. The one downside to this, of course, is the potential for accidental pocket dialing.

Connectivity
The Storm 2 supports Bluetooth 2.0 in headset or hands-free form and supports the following profiles: dial-up networking use the handset as a modem for laptops, advanced audio distribution, remote control of audio and video, remote phone book access and serial port profile. The handset also connects to computers via USB and can sync iTunes and Windows Media files. It has GPS and City ID to help locate where the phone is, plus VZ Navigator to give directions and find new places. Users can create and view Microsoft Office documents.

Battery Life
the RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 comes with a lithium ion battery.
