Ah! this tuesday Verizon officially introduced the first touch-screen BlackBerry to the world—RIM BlackBerry Storm also known as BlackBerry Thunder.

Special Feature of RIM BlackBerry Storm Mobile phone:

• The Storm features a touch-sensitive display that’s unlike that on any other touch-screen smartphone available today.

• Including dual-mode functionality, support for Verizon’s EV-DO Rev. A, integrated GPS, BlackBerry OS 4.7, and more.

• RIM developed something completely new called ClickThrough, which consists of a suspension system that lies beneath the display, so that when you go to select an application or enter text, you actually push the screen down like you would any other tactile button.

• Wireless options include Bluetooth 2.0 with support for stereo Bluetooth headsets and dial-up networking and GPS but no Wi-Fi.

• The BlackBerry Storm will run the latest BlackBerry OS (version 4.7), so you finally get an updated interface while still getting support for multiple e-mail accounts (BlackBerry Enterprise, Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, POP3, IMAP4, and more) with wireless synchronization. In addition to an attachment viewer, you can also do some light editing on Microsoft Word and PowerPoint files. There’s 128MB of flash memory and 1GB of onboard memory, which is all supplemented by the microSD/SDHC expansion slot (supports up to 16GB cards).

• Finally, it will come preloaded with instant-messaging clients (Yahoo, Windows Live, AOL, and ICQ) and a number of social-networking apps, including Facebook, MySpace, and Flickr. You’ll also be able to download more programs over the air through the new BlackBerry App Center.

The touch screen alone already has people drooling and clamoring over the device, and then you add the laundry list of features.
