The Blackberry remains one of the most popular handsets in the cellular phone market. Research in Motion is aware of the fact that smartphones dominate the industry at the moment and has created the Blackberry Storm 3 to continue what the Storm 2 started. The Blackberry Storm 3 is RIM's ongoing answer to the iPhone.

Preliminary reports are that the Blackberry Storm 3 is a touch up of the Storm 2, almost considered a version 2.5. One of the first things customers will notice on the Storm 3 is the totally touch screen QWERTY keyboard, eliminating the sometimes flimsy and breakable sliding version found on other phones. It will please Storm 3 customers to know that it is an accurately sensitive touch screen, preventing an inordinate amount of errors. The screen itself is a considerable 3.7" AMOLED capacitive touch screen, allowing scads of functions to appear in large scale.

Powering these features and functions is the Blackberry OS 6.0, customized for the Storm 3. When users surf the internet, the OS 6.0 operating system provides the engine for RIM's Webkit web browser. Early reports are that the browser is a big improvement over its predecessor. 8 or 16 GB of storage offer enough storage for plenty of videos and photographs, within reason of course. The memory can be expanded up to 1GB RAM and 1GB ROM. Videos and photos are captured on a 5 megapixel camera with a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels.

Also giving Storm 3 an advantage over the competition is the fact that it is a World Edition cell phone. The handset picks up 3G at hotspots with HSDPA at 10.2 Mbps. Blackberry Storm 3 connects via 802.11n WiFi. Bluetooth version 3.0 is found on the phone as is a Li-Ion battery. The battery offers about 9 hours of standby time while in 2G mode and approximately 5 hours while in 3G. For those looking for a couple of bells and whistles, a large number of ringtones in MP3 and WAV formats can be stored on the Storm 3.

RIM has taken what worked on the Blackberry Storm 2 and updated those things on the Storm 3. All of the features that customers look for are found on the Storm 3 and operate quite effortlessly. RIM continues to keep the bar high with this handset.
