Two magnificent phones from top-notch companies, Storm by Blackberry and iPhone 3G by Apple have been the most talked about issue for its users. The comparison between these two phones will enable the people to figure out which phone best suits their requirement. The Storm is the first touch screen phone introduced by BlackBerry. In terms of design it is similar to the iPhone 3G by Apple. Though it lacks the sleekness of the phone by Apple and is 0.14 inches thicker and 22 grams heavier. Comparing the screen of the Storm with the iPhone 3G, it can be said that the screen of the Storm is 0.3 inches smaller than the iPhone. Nonetheless, the resolution of Storm is 460×360 pixels, which is higher than the resolution of iPhone 3G, which are 320 x 480 pixels. So, in this respect, the manufacturers of Blackberry Storm receive thumbs up.
Apple iPhone 3G
Coming down to the Input method, it can be said that with the multi-touch interface of iPhone 3G receiving so much adulation from the users, touch has set a base for new smartphones being introduced. Storm just like iPhone does not possess any slide-out keyboard, and makes use of the screen itself for input. In fact, the developers of Storm brings into focus that this touch technology is way different in comparison to those used by the other smartphones. This technology has been rightly called as Clickable Screen. This suggests that when the key is pressed on the screen by the user, they will feel the press as well as release of the keys. But in this case the multi-touch interface of iPhone is also creating waves.
Another aspect on which the iPhone and Storm is compared is Multimedia. RIM phones are not very functional in the Multimedia support as they mainly aim at the business users. The idea with which Storm is mainly to entice casual users as it supports basic features such as music playback as well as video playback. The audio playback range included by the phone is MP3, WMA among others and MPEG4, WMV and many more among the video formats. Through BlackBerry Media Sync, the user can sync iTunes. But comparing it with iPhone 3G, it is found that it is the greatest iPod created by Apple ever. The whole experience of listening music is sensitizing. With Apple updating it with features such as Genius Playlist, multimedia support of iPhone is indomitable. With all this in store for you, iPhone 3G beats Storm easily.
BlackBerry Storm
Blackberry’s Storm gives Apple’s iPhone a tough time as far as the camera and video recording is concerned. No updates have been done by Apple in the iPhone’s camera, having 2 megapixel cameras whereas Storm supports a 3.2 megapixel camera comprising the ability to record videos. The camera of Storm also has flash as well as auto focus which makes it more credible.
Gauging iPhone as well as Storm Enterprise features it can be seen that RIM leads the market in enterprise wireless equipments. The phenomenon continues with Storms also. The enterprise feature supported by Storm is excellent as far as varied measures of security are concerned. iPhone as well as Storm support exceptional features and both are good in their own right. They both have different targets in the market place and have different positions too.
