As of today, you may fill in the information request / pre-order form for the Blackberry Storm 9500, the first BlackBerry smartphone with a touch-screen, exclusively built for Vodafone, on www.vodafone.gr, at Vodafone’s retail stores and through the customer service department.

With an elegant design and excellent talk and standby time, the BlackBerry Storm combines messaging services including secure email, SMS and social network notifications in a single inbox. It also fashions an integrated A-GPS receiver and offers superb sound quality and a 3.2 MP camera with geo-tagging and video capabilities, while it exploits the screen’s amazing clarity to deliver advanced multimedia performance, supporting memory expansion cards of up to 16GB, coupled with Vodafone’s fast and reliable broadband network.

The BlackBerry Storm user interface combines the familiar menu and escape keys common to all BlackBerry smartphones and adds support for multi-touch capabilities allowing users to easily select, scroll, pan and zoom, making navigation fast, easy and intuitive. The BlackBerry Storm features an enhanced high performance browser, for high speed web browsing, which can be viewed in either portrait or landscape mode.

The SurePressTM 3.25 inch touch-screen offers users a variety of experiences. Despite its flat surface, users feel the sensation of actually pressing down on virtual keys which light up when touched. This makes it quick an easy to type SMS and email texts, as well as to navigate through the phone’s functions. Customers will also have the choice of using a QWERTY, SureType or multi-tap keyboard.

The absence of the conventional keyboard provides more free space for the high definition screen, allowing users to view attachments more comfortably, as well as to view and edit documents.

The pioneering screen with its 480x360 pixel resolution display switches from vertical to horizontal as the handset is rotated, while automatically changing the format of the keyboard from multi-tap or RIM’s SureType® to full QWERTY. A wide range of songs and full length videos can be downloaded, so customers can take advantage of the impressive clarity of the screen and the smartphone’s incredible sound quality.

The BlackBerry Storm retains the full functionality and security of the BlackBerry solution® but is also ideal for avid Facebook users, while Flickr fans will love the ease and speed with which they can upload their photographs just seconds after taking them.

Finally, in addition to all the above, customers can access Vodafone’s entertainment and information services, including Vodafone Music and Vodafone Live!
