Recently Blackberry has attracted all of us with their contemporary handsets, which include the Bold and the Storm. Several people might be thinking about the difference in these handsets, which is if they are quite familiar to such handsets. We would definitely discuss the differences, but lets take a look at the similarities first. Both the phones are coming from the same manufacturer, so obviously there would be some striking similarities in both appearance and features. Both the handsets are well equipped with HSDPA Network, GPS, camera, Blackberry Maps, Blackberry OS, and so on. But there are of course some differences if we take a deeper look.
Blackberry Bold Vs Blackberry Storm
Network:
Bold will work with HSDPA 850/1900/2100, (i.e. Triple Band HSDPA), whereas Storm will only work in HSDPA 2100 Mhz frequency and CDMA 2000 1x EV-DO (however this is only for the 9530 series).
Weight and Dimension:
Bold weighs 133 grams (114 x 66 x 14 mm) whereas Storm is heavier weighing about 155 grams (112.5 x 62.2 x 14 mm).
Display:
Bold has 480×320 pixels whereas Storm has 360×480 pixels (3.25 inch) along with an Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate.
Wi-Fi:
BlackBerry Bold comprises of Wi-Fi, 802.11 a/b/g and shockingly BlackBerry Storm does not have Wi-Fi at all. This is definitely a negative point of Storm.
Camera:
Bold has a 2 Mega pixel camera, but Storm has a 3.15 Mega pixel camera. Storm gets the edge here, and to top it, the touch screen of Storm works as an auto focus.
Music:
Black Berry is not popular among music lovers since the audio quality of BlackBerry is not as good as compared with its competitors. However, both Bold and Storm has a good score here since both include the standard 3.5 mm audio jack.
Battery:
Bold includes a Li-ion 1500 mAh battery which is bigger than the one of storm, which is only 1400 mAh. However, the battery capacity of Storm is seemingly better since it gives better stand by and talk-time.
