Before Apple and Android - Blackberry was the smartphone front runner (albeit for a very short period of time) They were the phone of choice for business users (and in some cases still are) and built up a very loyal following with there communication-centric handset - that could pool all your email, messaging and BBM into one place - ontop of a sturdy typing system meaning the phones were great for not only receiving email, but sending too. Soon after the touchscreen boom kicked off - Blackberry had a go. Everything was touchscreen - a hardware keyboard seemed a thing of the past. Most smartphones at around the same time as this phones release suffered the ...  Read the complete review

I have had this phone since around Easter time and have been far from impressed by its performance. I am on my second replacement as it has broken twice since I got it. When the phone works correctly it is a brilliant phone. It's quick and easy to use with its simple touch screen interface. The icons are big enough to be clicked using your finger, and using the on screen touch keyboard is easier than I had thought it would be. The camera takes good quality photos and videos for a mobile phone and the internet browser is quick and displays web pages in almost as good quality as you would expect from your home computer. I have however had numerous ...  Read the complete review

I have owned a Storm 2 since January 2010 and at first I was impressed with the handset. This is the first Blackberry I have had and was very excited to see what it had to offer. Sadly, after owning it now for around abotu 20 months, I won't be getting another Blackberry when my contract is up for renewal. I found setting up email extremely straight forward, I have had a huge amount of pain trying to set up my webmail on Symbian (Nokia N95 for example) handsets in the past. This was probably one of Blackberry's big selling points, but with the advances in technology over the past 2 years and the rise of Google's Android Platform, Windows Phone 7 and of ...  Read the complete review

I renewed my contract last year and wanted a blackberry for some strange reason i chose this phone. Good points: Looks good, its not a touch screen (which i was happy about as they can be annoying) the screen is actually a button and works quicte well. Its pretty easy to use and get the hang of, memory pretty good, have alot of music installed and pictures, apps are not as good as iphone but you get alot of choice. Camera is brilliant definately one thing i cant really fault. Bad points - The phone switches off all the time at least once a day, the network coverage for gprs never seems to work, phone calls switch off half way through the ...  Read the complete review

The storm 2 is brilliant if you want to access everything that you could on a laptop on the move. The major downfall for me, as with all blackberry's, is that the backlight doesn't turn off while its on charge. Which can be slightly annoying. The suretouch technology takes a while to get used to but aliviates the annoyance of touch screens as it feels like normal keys when you type. The space for music on this Blackberry is emmense I have my whole ipod on here and its better sound quality. I dont even have a memory card and its still got plenty of storage space. If you want to go cheaper than an iphone but still have a brilliant smart phone go for it. However it ...  Read the complete review
