The BlackBerry Storm is part of the 9500 series of BlackBerry phone and is its first touch screen device that does not come with a keyboard. The Storm is BlackBerry's response to the Apple iPhone and the T-Mobile G-1 mobile phones. The Storm is international based on its carrier technology, which allows it to be used worldwide. However, it can be limited in its data speed in remote portions of the United States where GSM carrier service is not fully developed. In the United States the Storm is primarily intended for use on Verizon networks and on Vodafone infrastructure throughout the rest of the world.
Instructions
