This highly anticipated addition to the Blackberry range is being tipped as their model of the year. With improved functionality and many added features over its predecessor, the Storm 2 9550 provides Wi-Fi, Internet browsing enhancements (such as faster page loading) and JavaScript by default.
With a sleek design and integrated touch navigation keys, the Storm 2 9550 offers a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash and autofocus, high resolution (480 x 360 pixel) screen and a dynamic brightness control. Also key functions such as send, end, menu and escape keys are now part of the display, preventing problems with back lighting and dust.
Other features include integrated GPS with A-GPS hardware, Bluetooth and the ability to expand memory up to 16GB.
The phone is free of carrier software and ready for use on the majority of Australian networks. Telstra NextG customers are advised not to purchase this device as it is not compatible with their network.
