CB's Exclusive Look at the Storm 2!!!!!!!

[Sav]

WOW!!!

Take a look here!

The changes are subtle, but nice. I like them. Did anyone else notice how the 4 bottom buttons are connected with the screen? I wonder how their new screen technology is. CB! Hurry up with the review!!

Not bad. The intergration of the function keys with the main screen is nice. But I need to play with one in person before I make a decision.

I agree. Supposedly those buttons are going to be touch-sensitive. I hope that's not the case. I like actually having a few physical keys. It seems like they're also using the same side buttons as the new Onyx/Driftwood. Thinner is nicer too. For some reason it ever-so-slightly reminds me of the Omnia HD. I can't wait for it.

Correct me if im wrong, Storm 2 is suppose to have integrated 802.11 b/g wireless?

Figures RIM demands the images be taken down.... obviously RIM likes to run around cb alot...

you would think RIM had better things to do than patrol the internet for leaked images. Engadget still had a couple photos up this morning.

Photos are still up on engadget. If RIM demanded CB take them down who knows how much longer they may be up at engadget.

Maybe they are following Apple's lead on everything.....

I'm really upset bout this. The only reason I boght to the storm is because it has the unique sure press tech, the storm 2 doesn't have that. I will keep my storm 1. The storm 2 is like the iphone nw ver disappointing Rim should know better.

Rim should know better, they shouldmt follow iphone or make an iphone like phone. Be original rim

Rim should knw better, I dnt like touch screen phonds
I like the storm coz its unique. Nobody in the world
Has sure press, this new storm is more like an iphone
Verizon and rim will never iphone they should focus in
Making current bb users stay with them.

Maybe they are following Apple's lead on everything.....

Apple will never get bb users. There's nothing special
Bout the iphone. Rim stop chasing apple! Create phones
Base on ur customer needs.

Hi bigred and welcome to EB:

I can tell you aren't happy about the RIM information, but it isn't necessary to post similar rants in four different posts. I merged them.

Also keep in mind this is still very much a guessing game as to exactly what the final release will be. The SurePress system, while unique, has been a source of frustration for many and it appears that RIM is listening and trying to do something to insure that the Storm won't just be unique, it might also be successful over the long-haul.

The hottest rumor is that this may be the first WiFi enabled BlackBerry on the Verizon network.

Looks like we will have to wait a few months to see what actually is in the works....
