Research In Motion (RIM) has announced the launch of the BlackBerry Storm2 smartphone with BlackBerry OS 5 in India today.


“Powered with the latest SurePress technology and BlackBerry OS 5,  the new BlackBerry Storm2 offers customers a powerful and unique mix of advanced communications and multimedia features in a smoothly designed smartphone that will appeal to both consumers and business professionals,” said Frenny Bawa, Managing Director, India, Research In Motion.

The BlackBerry Storm2 smartphone introduces a new SurePress technology based on an electronic system that provides the user with tactile feedback when the touch-screen is pressed. The new system responds equally to gentle pressure applied anywhere on the surface of the screen and makes clicking the display practically effortless. Typing on the smartphone's virtual keyboards is easier, more comfortable and more accurate. The new SurePress technology also allows the user to type a letter with one thumb even while their other thumb may still be touching or resting on another letter, enabling faster typing and multi-key actions such as Shift or Alt -key combinations.

  • Smooth design and premium finish with sloped edges, chrome accents, glass lens and stainless steel backplate

  • Background noise suppression technology

  • Media player for videos, pictures and music
  • BlackBerry Desktop Manager for both PCs and Macs
  • BlackBerry Media Sync for easily syncing iTunes and Windows Media Player music with the smartphone
