BlackBerry Storm 2 Hands-On Review

Posted: 21 May 2009 11:27 AM PDT

BlackBerry Storm 2 On-Hands Review

The folks over at Engadget Mobile recently got the opportunity to spend a few minutes with the BlackBerry Storm 2 which was recently rumored to be coming out by the end of June. Engadget has a video of their hands-on time with the Storm 2, however, you won’t really see much more than you see here in this picture as the device isn’t working.

The major differences between the BlackBerry Storm 2 and the original BlackBerry Storm is the lack of the clickable SurePress keyboard.

The display is a capacitive number, and it’s definitely not SurePress, at least in the traditional sense; there’s nary a click to be found. In fact, it behaves rather like the iPhone’s screen as far as scrolling and even texture of the surface is concerned.

Additionally, the four physical buttons accross the bottom of the original Storm have been replaced by 4 soft buttons that are part of the touch screen.

BlackBerry Local Search

Some of the most useful free BlackBerry applications are the local search utilities that help you find restaurants, businesses, and points of interests in or near your immediate vicinity. It’s been a while since we’ve done a list of free BlackBerry applications so we thought that we would list several of them out for you so you can decide which one you like best.

With that being said here are 6 Free BlackBerry Applications To Help You With Local Search

  1. Windows Live Search for BlackBerry
  2. Beyond 411
  3. Google Mobile App for BlackBerry
  4. Where for BlackBerry Storm
  5. Superpages Mobile
  6. Poynt for BlackBerry (my personal favorite)

I know that there are other free blackberry local search applications out there, however, these are the 6 that I could think of off the top of my head. Feel free to leave you nominations in the comments.
