1. Storm2

76.7%7.7out 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 rocksScreen buggy STILL!

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.

3. Storm 1 vs Storm 2

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.

4. OS not the phone

I am a Verizon Agent and one thing people need to keep in mind is that Blackberry also just updated the OS. The Storm 2 and 1 both have a new OS 5 now. With the OS update Storm 1 runs just as good as Storm 2 just without WiFi. I've had a Storm 1 for about a year and as soon as I updated to OS 5 it was like a brand new phone (A storm 2 basically). I've even had enough issues with my storm that verizon offered me a new phone. Customer service offered me a number of other phones but said a Storm 2 wouldn't make a difference seeing as they run the same OS.
All I'm saying is don't junk Storm 1 and run for a Storm 2 until you run the OS update on your Storm 1.

I've waited a long to get the storm 2 and that I finally have it I found that there is anything wrong with it. It has a great battery life then the first storm did and its faster too. I very happy with the improvement with this phone I haven't found a let down in this phone.
Battery is great and is very quick.Nothing at all!!

Honestly, i was a little hesitant to get this phone do to the first gen storm with all those bugs. One thing i can tell all you blackberry lovers out there who are skeptical about this phone, feel good about grabbing this one because this one is a winner! Very responsive and the typing on it is just a joy. To many good things to say about but it's only up to you to see it and experience it in person.
Design, wifi, touch screen is very responsive!haven't found one...

7. storm 2 rocks

I've only many phones. I have owned the iPhone 3G and 3GS. I recently switched over from ATT to Verizon because of the service and i get better reception with Verizon (WAY BETTER). The storm 2 is not a iphone and in my opinion there will be no phone that can compete with the iphone. Iphone is a totally different phone. I'm tired of people comparing the storm 1 or storm 2 to the iphone. THE TWO PHONE ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT PHONES!! iphone is more for web browsing and having some fun with it. BB Storm is for business.
I love the clicking of the screen. It feels really good when i text people and i text alot.
-Reception is awesome
-the OS is alot faster and smoother
-battery life is okay
-the camera is nice and smooth. takes very good pictures

This phone sucks. I am an ideirect agent for Verizon Wireless and was really looking forward to the Storm 2. Wo was it a let down when we recieved them in the store. I was looking for it to be a normal touch screen phone like the iPhone but that is not the case. Yous still have to click in on the screen. What a bummer and if your are looking for something comparable to the iPhone the closest thing is going to be the HTC Imagio, HTC Desire, or the DROID. What a let down BlackBerry.

9. STORM 2

I did have the Storm and it did have it problems. I have found nothing but good with the Storm 2. All is better including; battery life, reception, ease of use, just works the way it should. the e-mail function is flawless and works like a charm. Voice quality is very good. this is the one, it does what it is advertised to do and does it well.
You should give it a try, it is a whole new phone, not just a reworked Storm.

shouldn't your review be for storm 1 and not storm 2? your review has nothing to do with storm 2 and you don't even only own one.
I just bought the storm 2. I switched over from sprint. i had the HTC Hero. It lagged alot. Anyways, the storm 2 is so much better then the storm 1. I use to own a storm 1. The typing on this is WAY better. The browser has improved, its alot faster then the old one. so far i am enjoying the phone and great to be back with the best carrier (Verizon)
-faster
-cleaner
-better to type with
-overall performance is better then storm 2i just wish the BB OS looks better.
