How about a little Monday morning clone fun? Yeah, as you can tell from the image above, it looks like a rip of the BlackBerry Storm has arrived. Introducing the ‘Cool9500′, which carries the same general look and feel as the Storm… But no doubt it’s all talk and no action. The gold trim is a nice touch, but I’d expect that not to appeal to everyone. Goldmember would certainly want one though.

At any rate, the Cool9500 has no clickscreen, opting instead for a 1.3 inch touchscreen. More specs on the Cool9500:

  • Dual sim
  • Analog TV tuner
  • GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
  • FM radio
  • Bluetooth
  • 3.5mm headphone jack

More details on the Cool9500 over at SoloMobi. If you want to purchase, it’ll set you back $127.

Note: If you’ve grown tired of the clickscreen on the current BlackBerry Storm. No need to purchase a clone… Just hold on to your horses and wait for the BlackBerry Storm 2. It’ll be worth it!

    Thank you for the info on saramobi. Just wanted to know about your satisfaction with the 9500 clone. Is this clone identical to the blackberry storm 2 and does it have email capability?

  • shapsp

    not really identical clone. but it is a good phone for that price. no wifi hence no emailing. but there are more blackberry clones with wifi at the saramobi

  • Jesse

    Thank you for reply. I have office blackberry curve where office email is sent direct to phone. Will any phone with WiFi provide this email function?
