Research in Motion took off the wraps from its first ever touch screen enabled Blackberry device. Blackberry Storm will be available by December from Verizon Wireless in US and Vodafone doing the honors for Europe, India, Australia and New Zealand.
The American Storm will have EV-DO Rev. A to suffice the internet needs while Vodafone users can benefit from 3G and EDGE in the supported countries. RIM touts Storm as world’s first “clickable” touch-screen that responds much like a physical keyboard with support for multi-touch gestures. The built-in accelerometer allows its touch screen interface to automatically switch between landscape mode and portrait mode as the user rotates the handset to reveal a Suretype keyboard in portrait or a full-fledged QWERTY in landscape.
