Blackberry Storm Vs Htc Touch Hd – Which is the Best Touchscreen Mobile Phone?

As we head into a groundbreaking new year, let’s take a look at two touchscreen mobile phones that have come into this year with us, and question the question: which is best, the Blackberry Storm or the HTC Touch HD?

Blackberry Storm – the first ever touch-based Blackberry

Everyone knew it would happen eventually, after the iPhone was released, but this was the email giant’s response: the really new, and really innovative Blackberry Storm, RIM’s first ever touchscreen mobile phone. Oh, and I do mean innovative, because the Blackberry Storm has a whole new type of touchscreen, one that no other mobile phones have. You see, the Blackberry Storm has the world’s first ever ‘clickable’ touchscreen, and if you’re wondering what that means, well, basically it means that when you press the screen on the Blackberry Storm, it moves. It only moves a bit into the phone, but it does physically go, meaning that the whole screen on the Blackberry Storm acts as one giant button. So, when going through menus, you can tap the screen all you want, but it only selects something when you press the screen. So, that means no more accidentally starting programs you didn’t mean to, and when you’re typing on the onscreen keypad, the Blackberry Storm makes it feel like your typing on a real keypad! That’s rather useful, especially as the Blackberry Storm, needless to say, comes with the well-known Blackberry email service. That’s not all you get, though, as it comes with a 3 megapixel camera, HSDPA and GPS, along with Blackberry Maps, music player and tons of multimedia options. In other words, the Blackberry Storm is the very definition of the word smartphone.

HTC Touch HD – Windows Mobile gets a sexy new vessel

The HTC Touch HD was a mobile phone that surprised us all, since it virtually came out of nowhere. We’d seen the Diamond and the Touch Pro, so I don’t reckon anyone was expecting was about to get leaked next. But when it was, blimey did it grab us by the throat and not let go! There was one huge (emphasis on the huge) factor that caught everyone’s attention more than anything else: the HTC Touch HD comes with a massive 3.8 inch screen. not only is that larger than the screens on any other phone, it’s larger than most mobile phones! Combine that huge size with a resolution of 800×480 pixels, and the brilliant TouchFLO 3D interface, and you get the HTC Touch HD, a phone that’s going to give you the most satisfying touch-based phone experience you’ve ever come across. Place it this way, the HTC Touch HD is the first keyboard-less mobile phone that I can honestly say doesn’t need a keyboard. The massive screen makes touch commands so much simpler than previous touchscreen mobile phones (and yes, that includes the iPhone). Features-wise, you get a 5 megapixel camera (alas, lacking a flash), HSDPA for super quick internet (and super-smooth, since you get Opera Mobile), WiFi, and GPS. In other words, the HTC Touch HD is simply stunning.

Blackberry Storm vs HTC Touch HD – Which should you buy?

So, if it comes down to a choice, which should you buy? Which is better, the innovative clicky screen of the Blackberry Storm, or the frighteningly HUGE screen of the HTC Touch HD? Well, on paper, the Blackberry Storm, but in the real world, there are a few issues. the largest, and most worrying is that its innovation and largest selling point is also its largest flaw. You have to press the screen to select things, but the problem is that the screen takes that much force to press that when typing anything, it’s going to kill your thumbs very quickly, and start hurting. That’s a huge black mark against the Blackberry Storm, that, having an email device that hurts you when you type and email. On top of that, the new operating system on the Blackberry Storm is rumoured to be a bit buggy, again letting it down. No such problems with the HTC Touch HD, but, because it has the already-proven TouchFLO interface, which is simply one of the best no the market. Not only that, but it hammers the Blackberry Storm in every way, from camera to web browser, from the onscreen keyboard to music, everything (well, in truth, the HTC Touch HD hammers just about all other mobile phones you can name). That’s why, if I had choose, I’d go for the HTC Touch HD any day. But, you should note, neither of them are as excellent as the Sony Ericsson X1…
