According to IntoMobile, the iPhone killer from Research In Motion, Blackberry 9500 Thunder is all set to make its debut on Verizon’s CDMA Network. One change is that, the Thunder will be called the Blackberry 9530 a.k.a Blackberry Storm. RIM might have given this name as they would have thought that when 9530 is launched it would take the mobile world including the iPhone by “Storm”. The Blackberry Thunder, oops sorry, Blackberry Storm is the first touch screen enterprise phone from the Canada base RIM.
Earlier, I had posted about the Thunder was supposed to come in the month of September and after that there were reports confirming its arrival in the month of October 2008. Few weeks back some more details were revealed about the Thunder, like its QWERTY and SureType Keypads, Music Interface, Landscape and Portrait mode etc. These details have made the Thunder to be one of the most awaited phones this year. BlackBerry phones till now focused on the business user but with Thunder they are making it clear that multimedia capabilities in a business phone is the need of the hour. The Thunder sports a 480x320 fully-functional touch screen, a 3.2 mega pixel snapper and also a microSD slot for memory expansion. Apart from this, the good news for music lovers is that, the Thunder will have Rhapsody Music service for users to download music on the go.

@Raghvendra - You are right, till now BB phones targeted the enterprise user but they have realized that even a typical enterprise user carves for multimedia functionality is his/her phone and thats why the Thunder (now Storm) was born.

Really, if you compare mobile phone offers that are available on the market today, I do not agree that the Blackberry is all that impressive with its multimedia functionality. There are many better Smartphones with higher resolutions and RAM, Blackberry just has a celebrity status name which is why it will sell.

@smartphone - Yeah you are right, the Blackberry's multimedia functionality is not that great as compared to many good and affordable phones out there, but yeah this is the first time that RIM has come out with such phone with MM capabilities and that might make it a fancy for corporate users...thnaks for your comments
