ou might have heard that the BlackBerry Storm is different from the
other BlackBerry smart phones. From the outside, BlackBerry Storm
has been completely revamped. Not only is it sleek and slim, but it also has
a brighter, bigger, and higher-resolution screen than the older models. But
what makes it fundamentally different? It has a touch screen.
What? No more trackball? No more QWERTY keyboard? How do you select
and scroll with the touch screen? What can you do with it? We answer
those questions in this chapter. Bear with us, and you will be master of your
BlackBerry Storm in no time.
Exploring Your BlackBerry's Face
In this section we show you all the keys and features on your BlackBerry
Storm. You can see them in Figure 2-1.
First, read about the major features:
✓ SurePress touch screen: This screen is the graphical user interface (GUI)
on your BlackBerry Storm. It lets you point to things using your finger
instead of having to type.
✓ Virtual QWERTY keyboard: This is available on the Storm while you're
typing when you tilt the screen on its side (horizontally). You see all the
keys individually as you would on a QWERTY BlackBerry. The QWERTY
keyboard can also be shown in portrait mode (when the screen is verti-
cal) by changing the Options.
