Description:

BlackBerry Storm2 9550 is the second generation BlackBerry with a touch-sensitive screen, successor of the highly-anticipated Storm. The keys on the front are now touch-sensitive as well, and the screen no longer uses the SurePress technology, which made the display of the first Storm uncomfortable to use. The Storm2 also adds Wi-Fi, but the other features are similar and include a 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS and a full HTML browser.

What is with all the dust under the screen!!!!!!!

12 Jan 2010 RP

7 out of 10

I had the first Storm; first one had problem with one of the corners of the screen not clicking/registering, the next one had dust fill underneath the screen, the next one was a "fat fingered" duplicate ESN number that couldn't fully be registered to my name, the next one was dead upon arrival, the next round was the "fat fingered" phone that they somehow were able to register,  that one eventually died also randomly on vacation, and the next one started to fill up with dust in the camera lens. 



So...after the last call into support on the first model Storm, I was upgraded to the Storm 2.  Now after only a couple months, the flash cover is filled with dust and the screen is starting to get some under it.  I thought that they fixed this with the stationary screen, but apparently not.  Why in the world don't they just put a rubber sealant along the edges of the bloody screen????  If I have to do it over again, I may consider going to the hardware store and getting some flixible black cauk and doing just that myself.



Besides that though, I love the phone and features.  Seems a bit better than the first one, but the upgraded firmware on the first one really helped it out a lot.  The only thing that drives me crazy is that you can't hang up quickly.  Since the call buttons are now touch activated, you have to sit there with you finger on the end button for a couple of seconds before it registers and you can push down.





Great apps and GPS functionality with most of them.
Stupid design flaw that allows dust to get under the display and the camera lens/flash cover.

LOVE THIS PHONE

I have had a cell phone for about 6 years now i just got the new storm 2...AND I LOVE IT!! ITS AMAZING AND SO USER FRIENDLY! it kicks all my previous phones butts! GET ONE! i thought this phone would be hard to use and difficult to understand how to use, but in less than a day the screen was amazingly easyier than an all touch screen and than a plain QWERT keyboard also! )although it did feel weird at first) I love how you can customize the theme of the phone which makes it so i will not get bored of it as quick as i usually do with phones... which is a huge +!

Battery sucks have to charge it daily but I do ise it a lot and I never let the battery get below 20%. Camera is ok why they did not go for 5 mega pixel. App memory could be more..overall the phone is excelled and glad I waited for it...
