APC are reporting that the new Blackberry Storm 2(9520) and Bold will be availabe exclusively to Vodafone Australia. The new devices just announced by Research In Motion (RIM) and Vodafone UK should keep RIM in the smartphone race.

The orginal Storm was heavily criticised for its Suretouch technology which meant the whole screen moved when the user pressed the screen. This system has been replaced by an electronic feedback system.

The updated Bold should sport enhanced screen and camera resolutions.

Whether businesses and professionals will take these phone up in droves is still to be decided. The iPhone and even to some extent Nokia’s E-series phones which have many of the email features of the Blackberry have stolen a huge chunk of the Blackberry market in Australia. Although both phones, especially the iPhone lack many enterprise features outside of the ability to synchronise with Exchange.
