Touch Screen Features
BlackBerry Storm is the first touch-screen based BlackBerry smartphone.
The user distinctly feels the screen being pressed and released with a gentle click, similar to the feeling of a key on a physical keyboard or a button on a mouse. The clickable touch-screen gives the user positive confirmation that they have made a selection and the result is a dramatically enhanced touch interface and a highly-intuitive typing experience.
The new BlackBerry Storm adds support for multi-touches, taps, slides and other touch-screen gestures, so customers can easily highlight, scroll, pan and zoom for smooth navigation.
The BlackBerry Storm smartphone also features a built-in accelerometer, allowing its touch-screen to automatically switch between landscape mode and portrait mode as the user rotates the handset.
