In die größte Fixter (und einige sagen, am besten)-Netzer in den USA, ist eine der Sturm explosion Ellipsoid fast, die den Wettbewerb auf den ersten Blick, aber sie halten sich näherem bei Hinsehen? Weiter lesen Sie an herauszufinden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Storm is a striking device. From the second you lay eyes on it, it's clear that a lot of time and care went into crafting this phone. The majority of the front panel is display, a large 3.25-inch (480 x 360) touchscreen sitting just shy of flush with a silver bezel that runs around the sides, top, and bottom of the device. The bands seem to be plastic, not metal, and trace the outline of the moderately thick (0.55-inch) phone, looping around the back, while the rest of the surface is a high gloss, piano black plastic. Below the screen are four familiar BlackBerry keys (phone, menu, back, and end / power), along the left is a convenience key and a micro USB port (RIM has eschewed the more common mini USB slot for the lower profile of the newer variation, though that seems to be the way the industry is headed), and on the right side is another convenience key, volume rocker, and (yay!) 3.5mm headphone jack. Around back, the battery cover is made from solid piece of brushed aluminum, and the camera and flash sit atop the plate, covered by a glossy plastic strip. Along the top of the phone there's a single LED to the right, and lock and mute keys incorporated into either side of the casing like soft rockers -- a nice touch. Generally, the construction of the hardware and components used seem higher in quality than previous devices from the company, with buttons that click tightly and a heft that tries (and succeeds) to communicate an understated class.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not completely rainbows and unicorns, however. We noticed backlight leaking in through the sides of the screen, which partially killed the continuity of the design (and had us raise eyebrows at build quality), and the screen sort of slides around when it's pressed down and held (more on that later). No deal breakers, but certainly a couple minor niggles we wish we hadn't seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/SpvkvLA4njI/AAAAAAAAAXE/MfIczz1I3sc/s1600-h/storm60032.jpg4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/SpvkvLA4njI/AAAAAAAAAXE/MfIczz1I3sc/s320/storm60032.jpg4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376142079258304050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Touchscreen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The touchscreen is where most of the attention on this phone will be focused, and rightfully so. Unlike similarly stacked competitors (the iPhone and Instinct come to mind) the Storm doesn't just boast a capacitive touch display, it also utilizes a completely unique "click" technology called SurePress which actually allows you to click the screen down like a mouse button. The purpose of this technology, ostensibly, is to provide two aspects to touch screens which are currently lacking in most devices: the ability to "hover" without selecting or moving an on-screen element, and the physical sensation of "clicking" when you type or navigate. The Storm's screen certainly provides those two things in spades, but our question is whether or not they actually improve the experience of using this sort of device -- and in our opinion, they do not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/SpvlWHdlt-I/AAAAAAAAAXM/mXevjOJfDsk/s1600-h/storm60022.jpg5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/SpvlWHdlt-I/AAAAAAAAAXM/mXevjOJfDsk/s320/storm60022.jpg5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376142748319856610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before we plunge into why we feel the hardware doesn't work here, we need to preface it with some information about the software. You can't really talk about one without the other.&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What you first should know is that the operating system used on this phone is almost identical to previous BlackBerry OSs -- notably 4.6, as seen on the Bold. The main reason for stating that is because you must understand the basis for the UI design. All modern BlackBerrys use a QWERTY or SureType keypad coupled with a trackball for navigation, in addition to heavy emphasis on a pop-up menu accessible by the "menu" key from pretty much every section of the OS. The difference in 4.7 is not a paradigmatic shift away from this approach, rather, the company has added touch and multitouch functionality to take the place of trackball movements. What this means is that unlike the iPhone, which is most certainly the closest competitor on the market to this phone, the Storm's UI is not custom built for touch navigation -- touch navigation is added after the fact. Things which flow naturally on an iPhone -- flicking through lists, scrolling for a contact, moving around in a webpage or looking through photos -- feel inelegant and uncomfortable on the Storm. There's no inertia to movement, no assurance that your finger is the lynchpin to control of the device. The screen is sensitive enough, surely, but how its software reacts to those touches makes all the difference, and here the feeling is that you're never completely in charge of the phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/Spvlv6JhWlI/AAAAAAAAAXU/p8Dj5ckB8C8/s1600-h/storm60006.jpg6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/Spvlv6JhWlI/AAAAAAAAAXU/p8Dj5ckB8C8/s320/storm60006.jpg6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376143191422622290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6138150029844399656-4291681187711599697?l=blackberry-tech.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blackberry-tech.blogspot.com/feeds/4291681187711599697/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://blackberry-tech.blogspot.com/2009/08/blackberry-storm-and-music.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6138150029844399656/posts/default/4291681187711599697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6138150029844399656/posts/default/4291681187711599697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blackberry-tech.blogspot.com/2009/08/blackberry-storm-and-music.html' title='BlackBerry Storm AND MUSIC'/><author><name>paijo</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/STVsiGGF8II/AAAAAAAAAI8/jwYHeDxMsF4/S220/2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/Spvi6fN1o9I/AAAAAAAAAW8/jlli7KxJJsA/s72-c/storm60026.jpg3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138150029844399656.post-3967156078943898740</id><published>2009-08-31T19:45:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2009-09-01T02:38:25.623+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free download music to blackberry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free download blackberry wallpaper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free download itunes to blackberry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Blackberry Music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Blackberry review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blackberry applications'/><title type='text'>Blackberry music</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/SpvNL027-FI/AAAAAAAAAWk/EZzSDZ0gBw8/s1600-h/sp.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/SpvMtNf91nI/AAAAAAAAAWc/9cJqa1UtbK0/s1600-h/bb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 149px; height: 82px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/SpvMtNf91nI/AAAAAAAAAWc/9cJqa1UtbK0/s320/bb.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376115657286735474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style=" color: rgb(255, 255, 255);  line-height: 17px; font-family:Verdana;font-size:11px;"&gt;&lt;h3 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17px; color: rgb(140, 223, 255); "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h3 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; font-weight: bold; font-size: 17px; color: rgb(140, 223, 255); "&gt;BlackBerry® Media Sync&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enjoy your music while you’re on the go!

Oh, and it's the first BlackBerry carrying the trackpad that's probably gonna wind up on every BlackBerry eventually.&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Price: $130 w/ 2-year contract and rebate from T-Mobile, or $48.88 with the same strings attached from Walmart&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://walmart.letstalk.com/product/product.htm?prId=35673"&gt;Walmart&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="GalleryPreview"&gt;    &lt;div id="AjaxImagePosts" class="gallery-thumb-wrapper"&gt;   &lt;ul id="gallery-thumbs"&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;a href="http://gizmodo.com/5331906/blackberry-curve-8520-gallery//gallery?selectedImage=1" title="" class="imagewidth_804"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" id="img1010198293"&gt;      &lt;img src="http://cache-foo-07.gawkerassets.com/gawker/assets/images/4/2009/08/smallish_IMG_0276_copy.jpg" longdesc="" alt="" title="" width="179" /&gt;     &lt;/a&gt;    &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;a href="http://gizmodo.com/5331906/blackberry-curve-8520-gallery//gallery?selectedImage=2" title="" class="imagewidth_804"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" id="img1010198306"&gt;      &lt;img src="http://cache-foo-08.gawkerassets.com/gawker/assets/images/4/2009/08/smallish_IMG_0288.jpg" longdesc="" alt="" title="" width="179" /&gt;     &lt;/a&gt;    &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;a href="http://gizmodo.com/5331906/blackberry-curve-8520-gallery//gallery?selectedImage=3" title="" class="imagewidth_804"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" id="img1010198319"&gt;      &lt;img src="http://cache-foo-09.gawkerassets.com/gawker/assets/images/4/2009/08/smallish_IMG_0248.jpg" longdesc="" alt="" title="" width="179" /&gt;     &lt;/a&gt;    &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;a href="http://gizmodo.com/5331906/blackberry-curve-8520-gallery//gallery?selectedImage=4" title="" class="imagewidth_804"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" id="img1010198332"&gt;      &lt;img src="http://cache-foo-10.gawkerassets.com/gawker/assets/images/4/2009/08/smallish_IMG_0293.jpg" longdesc="" alt="" title="" width="179" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Verdict: Was this co-designed by Fisher Price?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not that it's poorly built—the construction is plenty sturdy, like all good Fisher Price toys. But it's like RIM took the excellent Curve 8900 (which is also on T-Mobile for $30 more) and re-designed it for a very sophisticated 6-year-old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can feel and see the corners cut—well, more like rounded—to get to this budget BlackBerry all over the place. The lower resolution (320x240) screen is flat-out depressing compared to every other BlackBerry display in the last year (just look). Instead of the great latch mechanism for the battery door from the Tour, Storm and 8900, it's a plain slab of plastic you pop out with a fingernail. It's also lacking GPS (though Google Maps will triangulate your position via cell towers), and the camera's only 2 megapixels. Bizarrely, T-Mobile isn't shipping it with BlackBerry App World—which got better with the recent 1.1 update—you've gotta go download it yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey, it's got the future of BlackBerry stuck in the middle of its face: The trackpad. Swipe your finger over it, and the cursor moves. It's about 90 percent as good as the trusty trackball. The missing 10 percent is that on the occasions the phone lags, the lack of tactile feedback somehow makes it more jarring when the phone fails to respond. But otherwise, it pretty tightly approximates the control of the trackball, so you won't miss it, especially when you realize pocket lint is no longer your phone's mortal enemy. Also new are a triplet of media keys on top of the phone, but I kinda prefer a dedicated lock button.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though the BlackBerry platform is starting to feel a little creaky compared to Android, iPhone and webOS, it's still fairly usable, and while the 8520 might have shaved off some hardware features, RIM didn't gimp anything that would cramp performance, so it felt about the same in that regard as the 8900.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, I don't think you should pay more than $100 for the Curve 8520. For $50, it's a solid deal, but if you can spare the extra $50 bucks, the screen alone on the 8900 is worth it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By matt buchanan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6138150029844399656-2490916391534925225?l=blackberry-tech.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blackberry-tech.blogspot.com/feeds/2490916391534925225/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://blackberry-tech.blogspot.com/2009/08/blackberry-curve-8520-lightning-review.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6138150029844399656/posts/default/2490916391534925225'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6138150029844399656/posts/default/2490916391534925225'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blackberry-tech.blogspot.com/2009/08/blackberry-curve-8520-lightning-review.html' title='BlackBerry Curve 8520 Lightning Review: Cheap'/><author><name>paijo</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NpgA9qUpmMc/STVsiGGF8II/AAAAAAAAAI8/jwYHeDxMsF4/S220/2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
