Out in the Dubai (UAE), Etisalat today announced plans to launch the highly-anticipated BlackBerry® Storm™ 9500 smartphone device in the UAE with it being the first operator in the Gulf region to launch the device.

The BlackBerry Storm is the world’s first “clickable” touch-screen smartphone. The touch-screen depresses ever so slightly when pressed, responding like a physical keyboard to dramatically enhance the user interface and enable easy and precise typing. The touch-screen also supports single-touch, multi-touch and gestures for intuitive and efficient navigation.

“Our customers will soon be able to enjoy the most exciting smartphone available today using Etisalat’s high speed reliable 3.75G HSPA mobile network. Combined with the functionality and network efficiency of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Internet Service platforms, users will have access to an unbeatable wireless experience.”

No given date has been released yet, but rumor says to expect something in the next month.
