 "BlackBerry Storm 2 Officially Makes The Scene")
Break out those trumpets and drums people the fanfare has begun at the RIM camp. The company has finally officially announced their BlackBerry Strom 2. The handset showed up on their website although there is no official press release just yet.
What’s finally come to light in an official sense, are the features which include -
- 3.2-inch Transmissive TFT LCD touchscreen with a 480 x 360 pixel color display resolution
- Next Gen SurePress technology for the touchscreen
- One version will be 3G compatible while others will support EDGE/GPRS
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and AVCRP, USB 2.0
- GPS with A-GPS support (BlackBerry Maps)
- 3.2MP AF camera with image stabilization
- 2 GB Embedded Multimedia Card, 256 MB Flash Memory (MicroSD card support)
- 3.5mm handsfree socket
What does seem to be missing from the specs is the handset’s video playback capabilities viz. DivX and XviD format support.
There’s no pricing or availability that’s been mentioned just yet so stay tuned.
