Every time the word smartphone is mentioned, the first thing that crops into people’s minds is the BlackBerry handsets. This is definitely not surprising having in mind that BlackBerry has for a long time been the only smartphone in the market. Time has definitely chiseled these phones with quite a number of makes being added to the BlackBerry family. Some of the latest entrants into the family are the BlackBerry Bold and the BlackBerry phones like BlackBerry 9900 specs. As expected, these mobile phones caused quite a ripple. It is often quite a challenge to choose between these two models given the fact they are more or less similar. Actually, as much as every subsequent model of Blackberry phone comes with improved features, some of the specifications remain the same or incorporate slight improvements.
There are several similarities between the BlackBerry Storm and Bold. For example, both have HSDPA network, BlackBerry Maps, BlackBerry operating system, Camera, GPS etc. However, there are definite differences between the Storm and the Bold. Some of the most obvious differences relate to the QWERTY keyboard and the Touch screen.
To begin with, you would look at the weight and dimension. The Bold phone weighs 133 grams with 114 x 66 x 14 mm while Storm measures 112 x 62.2 x 14 mm and weighs 155 grams. You could also look at the display that the two phones come with. For Bold phones, their screen has 480x320 pixels while Storm has 360 x 480 pixels with a screen measuring 3.25 inches. Many people would go for Storm as far as the screen is concerned especially having in mind that it also comes with Accelerometer sensor.
One of the biggest considerations when one is buying a mobile phone is the battery. Definitely, you would like to go with the one that goes longest. Between these two, Bold comes as superior to the Storm. Bold comes with a Lithium Ion 1500 mAh Battery which is evidently higher as compared to Storm’s 1400 mAh. However, there are claims that Storm’s battery has better talk time and standby time compared Bold probably due to better management of the battery.
When you have made your pick, you will have to consider the price. Storm comes at about $550 while Bold goes for between $499 and $550. If you have AT&T plan, you definitely could get a BlackBerry 9900 at about $300.
In this multimedia age, you definitely would be considering features like the camera and music. Blackberry has actually never been famous with music lovers mainly due to below-par audio performance. Actually, both of these models have a 3.5 mm audio jack. However, as far as the camera is concerned the Storm comes as superior to the Bold as it comes with 3.15 megapixels camera compared to Bold’ 2 megapixels camera.
