Lately Blackberry have attracted all of us with their new handsets, which are the Bold and the Storm. I believe that many people who are common to these things are wondering what are exactly the differences of these gadgets. Before we talked about the differences, let’s talk about the similarity. First of all, it came from the same manufacturer, and therefore it is not surprising how similar their features are.. Both of the phone has HSDPA network, GPS, camera, BlackBerry OS, BlackBerry Maps, etc. But really, is there any other differences between the two besides of the Touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard? Let’s take a deeper look.

  • Network: Bold can work for HSDPA 850/1900/2100 (Triple Band HSDPA), while Storm can only work in HSDPA 2100 MHz frequency and CDMA2000 1x EV-DO (only for 9530 series)
  • Dimension and Weight: Bold has 114 x 66 x 14 mm and 133 grams, while Storm is heavier in 155 grams and 112.5 x 62.2 x 14 mm measurement
  • Display: Storm definitely outperform Bold with 360×480 pixels (3.25 inch) and Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate. Bold in other side has 480×320 pixels, that I think sufficient enough
  • Wi-Fi: Bold has Wi-Fi, 802.11a/b/g, while BlackBerry Storm has not! Too bad
  • Camera: Bold has 2 megapixels camera, while Storm has 3.15 megapixels camera. Better resolution doesn’t mean better quality
  • Battery: Bold is equipped with Li-ion 1500 mAh, bigger than Storm that only has 1400 mAh. But Storm’s battery life is claimed to have better standby time and talktime. Does Storm has better battery management?

So, which one is more suitable with your preference?

Thanks, 3gweek!

    just to attack Apple’s Iphone fad , RIM has left its pride and launched a touch screen phone, which i think was really unnecessary.
    Practically business realted users and other BB addicts can never practically manuver with the touch screen on the go.
    specially when they have an option of the BOLD with uch better equippment.
    Bold it is than
    *crowd cheering *******
