The BlackBerry Storm is a perfect choice for customers looking for a state-of-the-art touch-screen smartphone. The stylish smartphone boasts exceptional performance, a stunning display and rich features, including global connectivity support, GPS, web browser, media player, camera and the industry’s leading email and messaging capabilities – all designed to give users an exceptional mobile experience.

The BlackBerry Storm smartphone features the revolutionary SurePress(tm) touch-screen, which depresses ever so slightly when the screen is pressed to enhance the touch interface for both typing and navigation. Virtual keyboards on the BlackBerry Storm respond like a physical keyboard to allow easy and precise typing – and the interface supports single-touch and multi-touch for efficient navigation. Both consumers and business customers will appreciate this unique combination of a large and vibrant screen with a truly tactile touch interface. The BlackBerry Storm can also be used in portrait or landscape mode thanks to its built-in orientation sensor (accelerometer).

Digicel Group Marketing Director, Kieran Foley, said at the launch of the BlackBerry Storm: “Our customers want to be ahead of the game when it comes to their mobile communications needs, and with the addition of the BlackBerry Storm to our wide range of BlackBerry smartphones, they are benefiting from the latest in technology and innovation from Digicel over the Bigger, Better Network.

“Business customers and consumers have come to rely on their BlackBerry smartphones and we’re delighted to be adding the latest and greatest BlackBerry smartphone to our handset range.”
