For Blackberry lovers, this month is very exciting month. Research in Motion (RIM) is
launching two new handset very soon - the Blackberry Strom and Blackberry Bold 9700 .
Both are aimed at different markets and are very much improved over their
predecessors. The Blackberry Storm 2 as we know is the second-generation Storm
handset and comes with BBM 5.0 and an improved touch-sensitive screen, much better
than the original Storm. And some of the features of the Blackberry 9700 are much the
same as the Storm 2, 3.2-megapixel camera, 3G support and Wi-Fi. The difference end
there, as the Bold 2 is not a touch screen and is aimed at a different user, as the
handset is more for business use. People can’t wait for them coming. Now, Verizon
has confirmed that the Blackberry Storm 2 has been headed to the carrier on October
28th. But it is also a secret which date the Blackberry 9700 will be published. In
this article I have summarized both of them devices’ features and what are their
relative and essential programs.

That’s the simple information I have got about the two phones. In many other
aspects, both have the same characteristics, for example, Device Security (Password
protection, Screen lock, Sleep mode, Optional support for S/MIME), Wireless email,
Organizer, Browser, and Notification etc.
For multimedia, Blackberry Phone is advanced media player for videos, music and
pictures. Blackberry Strom2 supports video formats including MPEG4, H.263, H.264,
WMV and audio formats including MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA, WMA ProPlus, and so on. While
Blackberry Bold 9700 supports video formats, such as, Divx 4, Divx 5/6, H.263, H.264,
WMV3, MPEG4 and so on, and audio formats such as 3GP, MP3, WMA9,WMA9 Pro/WMA 10,
MIDI, AMR-NB, and so on . Meanwhile, I find the Blackberry could not support all of
video or audio files such as AVI file, FLV file and so on. So I search this problem
on the Google and find powerful software to let me enjoy wonderful experience with
Blackberry Phone – Nidesoft Blackberry Video Converter. It could convert video and
audio files to your Blackberry movie and music format. The source files formats that

Now, the Blackberry Strom has lunched on the market and the Blackberry Bold 9700 will
be published soon. Both have been given considerable thought on the market. Minor
changes having a major impact, give them little bit more standing in comparison to
his predecessor and his current competitors. Under in this area, the mobile phone
technology develops quickly and the mobile phone competition is more and more severe.
As a blackberry lover, I hope they can take the good sales performance
