In order to fill the gap in Nokia 5800, RIM has decided to release Blackberry Storm 9250. Being released a year after Nokia 5800, Blackberry Storm 9250 is featured with capacitive screen while Nokia 5800 uses resistive screen. We know that capacitive screen is superior than resistive screen in touch response. In other side, Nokia 5800 has more resolution (16M colors) than Blackberry Storm 9250 (65K colors).

In term of memory, Blackberry Strom 9250 is better than Nokia 5800 with its 2GB internal memory. In other side, 9250 misses video call camera that important for 3G phone.

5800 has stereo speakers but 9250 only has standard speakerphone and it doesnt have TV output too. Finally, 5800 has many accessories such as trendy arm band, a nice stand that allows you to use it as a display device, a video out cable.

The 5800 camera is equipped with Carl Zeiss lens. Finally both devices have GPS and the remaining features are similar.

Currently the Nokia 5800 users may can view their office document on their cell phone through the usage of some apps available for it. But how about viewing PDF files? Yes, they still need a pdf viewer to help them enjoying pdf file on their device. If in the previous you can use Quick Office with its valid 7 days trial, now you can use ZOHO VIEWER.

Comparing with the similar app like J2ME viewers, this service is better. We know how poor J2ME viewers work. They can crash when opening pdf files or unable to display it properly.

ZOHO VIEWER is an online service that presents a website lets you view various document formats online. What you need to do is upload your document from your device then this service will display it as a webpage. Just go to viewer.zoho.com for this.

Besides support all Microsoft document, ZOHO Viewer supports Open Office document format and pdf files. As a recommendation, it will be nice if you install Opera on your phone then try to open ZOHO website.
