“The BlackBerry Storm2 smartphone, with its next generation SurePress technology and large, brilliant display, gives users a unique and powerful touch-screen experience,” said Adele Beachley, Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand, Research In Motion. “In addition to enjoying the many advanced communications and multimedia capabilities of the new BlackBerry Storm2 smartphone, users can also choose from a broad range of free mobile applications following the recent introduction of BlackBerry App World™ in Australia.”
Next-Gen SurePress Technology
The BlackBerry Storm2 smartphone introduces a next generation SurePress™ technology based on an electronic system that provides the user with tactile feedback when the touch-screen is pressed. The new system responds equally to gentle pressure applied anywhere on the surface of the screen and makes clicking the display practically effortless. Typing on the smartphone's virtual keyboards is easier, more comfortable and more accurate. The new SurePress technology also allows the user to type a letter with one thumb even while their other thumb may still be touching or resting on another letter, enabling faster typing and multi-key actions such as Shift or Alt-key combinations.
