The first touch screen BlackBerry from Research in Motion. Introduced in 2008, the Storm is a dual-band phone that supports both CDMA and GSM carriers, including EV-DO (CDMA) and GPRS/HSDPA (GSM) data networks. The original Storm touch screen featured SurePress technology, which required an actual depression of screen keys. In late 2009, the Storm2 replaced SurePress with a multitouch touch screen similar to other smartphones.
