BlackBerry 9550 Odin certainly much improved from its predecessor as to have a larger internal memory and is equipped with Wifi.

So all parts of the screen plus another button integrated with one another without any special insulation.

Moreover, supported by Sure-press features that seemed more perfect than the first version of the Blackberry Storm. For the record, Sure-press feature on Blackberry recommend you to do a little emphasis on the screen to execute the command, typing or doing activities.

We explore several applications, it turns out the application documents on the smartphone via the trial version only Documents To Go. So you can only just open the document without any editing functions. In addition, there is provided a feature to open a PDF file. But like other Blackberry in general, access to electronic mail aliases remain a leading email service via the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) or Blackberry Enterprise Service (BES).

Compared to earlier versions of the Blackberry Storm, Odin has many advantages that can be relied upon start of the touch screen is more advanced, the availability of Wifi to access GSM CDMA services as well. However, it seems in terms of design, capability and features can still be relied upon to attack the dominance of the iPhone or the HTC touch screen smartphone sector.
