Blackberry launched into the touch-screen realm with its Blackberry Storm, which followed on the heels of the Torch 9800, which had its platform as a slider phone. The Storm 2 sports a 3.25" touch-screen and 256 MB of memory, upgraded to 2 GB with a media card. The Storm 3 will use a "virtual" QWERTY keyboard and may have similar dimensions, but there are rumors of a 3.7" touch screen. Blackberry is working hard to dominate the smartphone market, and Torch users will have a lot to consider prior to upgrading to Blackberry's latest offering.
At time of this writing the Storm 3 has not yet been released so it is difficult to make a detailed comparison, but initial reports indicate that the storm may be smaller and lighter than previous Torch models, and will likely be on par with the current Storm 2 model. As with the Storm 2, the Storm 3 will undoubtedly have a virtual keyboard. The Torch 9800 utilizes a slide out QWERTY keypad as well as a virtual keypad.
Some of the mobile connectivity options associated with the Storm 3 will make it more functional than the Torch 9800. The Storm 3 will likely be a world edition smartphone that will make it more useful across a range of networks. There is also talk that the Storm 3 will function as a mobile hotspot allowing other devices to connect to the Internet through the phone. If this is the case, 4G functionality will be an important feature for the Storm 3. The Storm 3 will have 802.11n Wi-Fi functionality.
Blackberry OS 6.0 may remain the standard operating system for the Storm units and the Torch, but there are suggestions that a Blackberry OS 7.0 may be introduced. Whatever the operating system no alternative operating systems will likely be offered for these phones. The OS will be customized to fit the specific features of the Storm units. A native webkit from Research in Motion will likely be utilized in the Storm 3, which is considered one of the best editions of web enabling software. The Storm 3 will likely offer an upgraded camera in a 5 mega-pixel version. There is also talk that this camera may actually be as powerful as an 8 mega-pixel version.
Many Torch users may already be considering an upgrade to the Storm or Storm 2, but with the potential upgrades in camera quality and especially 4G capabilities, the Storm 3 may be worth waiting for.
