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.

Storm2

16 Nov 2009 ZT

7.7 out of 10

I'm a BB fanatic! I've owned several over the past 3 years.  I had the Storm for about 2 days before I couldn't stand anymore.  I went back to my trusty Curve 8330.  I ordered the Storm2 when it was available and I loved it.  Thought that they finally got it right. Well after about 2 weeks of use now I've had dozens of complete freezes and several reboots.  Also the lower left corner and upper right corner seem to stick in? I know that with the new tecnology there are four sensors but whatever acknowledges the screen press isn't working.  I have to tap the phone on my hand to get it to work.  This is right over the send button.  I am pretty forgiving of issues and hope that they can work this out.  Until then, I've jumped ship and gone to the Tour.  Wish I could wait for the Tour2 (trackpad, wifi, ect) Oh well, you can't keep up with the times, as they are a changing!





Great looks and phone, os rocks
Screen buggy STILL!

Fantastic!

I love this phone!   I was a bit hesitant to get the S2 because of the problems with the S1 but I haven't had any regrets.  I really like the Sure-Press screen.  I can type just as fast (if not faster) on the S2 than I could on my Curve and I like the click sound.  The response time is good, although I have to admit I haven't gotten it loaded down with too many apps yet.  The reception and sound quality is good.  The email is lightning fast!  The design and appearance of the phone is absolutely beautiful, unlike VZs other recent release (which shall remain nameless but you know which one I'm talking about) which is rather fugly.  No need to hide this bad boy in a case! 

Of course, there is always room for improvement.  Here would be my suggestions to RIM for the Storm 3:  1) More app memory.  As App World becomes more popular and has more selection, we will need more room for apps.  2) Better camera.  3.2 MP is in the ballpark, but a lot of new phones are rocking 5.0 MP.  3) Needs a better browser, which I think is in the works.





Attractive design.
Fast.
Easy typing.
Good reception and call quality.
3.2 MP camera is so yesterday.
A bit heavy.
Could use more app memory.
Browser needs work.

Storm 1 vs Storm 2

7 Nov 2009 fmcountry

9 out of 10

I am also an indirect Verizon agent and agree that the software is a big key to the differences

in these two phones. Except for the doubling of the memory and adding wi-fi, the biggest difference

is Blackberry's new OS 5.0. Add the new software to the Blackberry Storm 1 and it's a whole new animal.

If wi-fi isn't a huge need and you're not pusing your memory limits, there's certainly no big reason to

rush out and grab a Storm2. Upgrade your software first ( it's free ) and experience your new phone.
