The Blackberry Storm was their first full touchscreen phone that implemented a clickable screen. Unfortunately, the effect that RIM wanted to deliver didn't materialize. So RIM went back to the drawing board and brought out a successor, the Blackberry Storm 2 9520. RIM has tried really hard to fix the flaws of the first Storm. Let's see if they have succeeded. Battery Life
The Storm 2 is fitted with a 1400 mAh battery. In our tests, on a full charge, it lasted for slightly over a day under heavy usage. Heavy usage included a couple of hours of phone-calls, use of features like the camera, web browsing, chatting etc. The battery life is just about acceptable. Old Blackberry customers will be disappointed by this figure, since typical QWERTY based Blackberrys last more than this.

Price and Verdict
The Storm 2 9520 sells for Rs. 31,990. So, should you buy the Storm 2?
If you are keen on using Blackberry's services (like push-email), and want a full touchscreen phone, then the Storm 2 is a decent buy, and is a much better buy than its predecessor. It's unique clickable screen is something not everyone may like. It pretty much depends on an individual. I liked it, but I suggest you try it before you buy it.
Considering its price, how does it compare to the iPhone or the Nexus One? Well, it's safe to say that the Storm 2 still has some catching up to do with respect to its Operating System and third party apps, in order to match up to these guys. So, if you're not keen on using BlackBerry's services, then an iPhone or the Nexus One would serve you better.
