BlackBerry Storm Clickable Screen is Kind of Weird
I had a chance to test out the new BlackBerry Storm for a good period of time today. Mostly, I paid attention to the clickable screen, which is certainly what puts the new touch-screen BlackBerry in a different league from any other smartphone.
It really does click, but the surface itself isn’t tactile when your finger are running across it. It is very helpful that it lights up brightly when you’re hovering over the right location, and having the touchpad lengthwise on the screen definitely comes in helpful.
But accuracy is not very good, not anywhere near a real BlackBerry or QWERTY phone like my Nokia E71. I always have trouble with the iPhone, but BlackBerry Storm isn’t much better. I’d say it’s a little easier with the lengthwise pad. But the vertical pad on the Storm is a humiliation, with the same design as the BlackBerry Pearl, much worse than iPhone.
The point of the BlackBerry Storm is the clickable screen, and perhaps I need more time to get used to it, but it doesn’t seem to be anything more than a gimmick at first glance.
