As expected, the BlackBerry Storm2 9550 made its Bell Mobility debut today. It will operate on Bell’s older CDMA network as Bell’s new HSPA network does not support the 2100MHz UMTS/HSPA band.
The BlackBerry Storm2 is powered by Blackberry OS 5. It comes with a 3.25-inch touchscreen display (480 by 360 pixels), 256MB Flash memory and 2GB of internal storage, built-in GPS/A-GPS, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, a 3.2MP camera with auto-focus and flash, a 3.5mm stereo headset jack, a microSDHC card slot, and a 1,400mAh battery. It supports dual-band CDMA/ED-DO, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, and single-band (2100MHz) UMTS/HSPA connectivity. As such, it will not work on Bell’s HSPA network and will instead operate on its EV-DO network.
Bell is offering the BlackBerry Storm2 9550 for CA$199.95 with a three-year contract, CA$399.95 with a two-year contract, CA$499.95 with a one-year contract, and CA$549.95 with no contract.
