Posted by Danny G Sam November 28, 2008

Blackberry StormThe Blackberry Storm is surely another big iPhone rival. The striking Blackberry Storm 9530 with its SurePress touchscreen would woo business phone user to buy it.

The Storm would be another addition to the now crowded smartphone touchscreen market. Almost all major companies have comeup with a touchscreen smartphone similar to that of iPhone pushing down its sales and hype to a major extent.

Blackberry launched its Blackberry Bold in India last month which included a huge pack of multimedia features along with an advanced media player and a 2 megapixel camera.
