Blackberry 9520 Loses Ties - Blackberry Storm 2 on T-Mobile

Feb. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- The Blackberry Storm 2 was originally released as a network exclusive by Vodafone on October 28th last year, this limited time exclusive has now come to an end and the first network to pick up this top end touch screen Blackberry phone is T-Mobile.

This new release for the Blackberry Storm 2 means there are now over double the number of pay monthly tariffs available for this much in demand phone, T-Mobile have launched the Storm 2 on their full tariff range and made the phone available from free at just £30 per month with unlimited internet and unlimited text messaging as well as 600 minutes of calls to use at any time and to any network including landline calls.

The Blackberry Storm was the first Blackberry phone to feature a full touch screen experience, the new Storm 2 takes this one step further by including even more sensors for a more accurate user experience. Also offered is a 3.2 mega pixel camera, fast internet access via HSDPA, WiFi connectivity and an MP3 player with iTunes support.

The touch screen makes writing and composing messages and emails easier using the on screen Qwerty keyboard as well as fliocking through the menu options and internet surfing. There is no real competition from any of the other models from the Blackberry range but plenty offered by other manufacturers.

Some of the most popular mobile phones are touch screen devices and competitors to the Blackberry Storm 2 include the HTC Touch 2 and HTC Hero with a more advanced camera, the LG Pop with a slimmer design, Samsung Omnia 2 and Samsung Galaxy Spica match in terms of connection speeds and the Nokia X6 and Nokia 5800 which both offer a good sized touch screen.

Now that the Storm2 has lost its network exclusive shackles it is expected to be picked up by further networks over the coming days, there could also be a release of this top of the range Blackberry phone on the Pay As You Go system which would be music to the ears of many people who do not like to commit to the long term contract deals.

Blackberry have since launched three newer handsets called the Blackberry 8520 which is a mid range device aimed at social networking, the Blackberry 8900 which is a more business focused handset with fast connection speeds and the Blackberry 9700 which is an upgraded version of the original 9000 Bold model.

There are also rumours of a new device launching later this year again incorporating a touch screen, based on the popularity of the Storm 2 it is likely that this new handset will sway even more users across to the growing Blackberry brand.
