RIM’s Blackberry Storm 9530 Smart Phone for Verizon is larger and heavier than what you might expect, weighing in at 5.6 ounces and measuring  4.4″ x 2.5″ x .6″.  The 3.25 inch touchscreen responds with a clicking noise as if it were a PC keyboard, which is remarkably satisfying for addictive users, and adds a new and so far welcome dimension the user interface. Storm 9530 doe not come with Wifi support, but its 3G data system is remarkably effective.

A variety of IM programs are free with the purchase of the Storm 9530, including AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, and Gtalk. A pair of wired headphones comes standard with the Blackberry Storm 9530, but Blue Tooth also works quite well. Retail pricing for the Blackberry Storm 9530 starts at around $599 by itself, but the phone can be purchased at a lower price if a commitment is made to a specific Verizon plan.
