This article contains unofficial information.
RIM has added 4 silicon actuators to the touchpad to improve the typing performance on the screen. All New and Certified-Like New devices produced by RIM after February 10th feature the new hardware enhancements. The new devices can be spotted by a green dot on the master carton or by checking the date code in the battery cavity on the back of the device.The following 3 digit codes have the new hardware: C2A, D2A, E2A, F2A, G2A, H2A, I2A, J2A, K2A, L2A, M2A amd N2A. On February 22nd, the date code was changed to a format of dd/mm/yy such as 050310. Devices with the 3 digit date code and the new 6 digit date code have the updated hardware. According to an anonymous tipster who passed on word to Berry Scoop, a lot of the problems are happening on the lower left portion of the screen and many units are being returned before they even are purchased by a customer. The site says that 2 sources have told them that Verizon stores will be receiving the upgraded models and once a store has the new units in inventory, they are to return the defective Storm2 units. According to a tipster with Verizon connections, this is basically a world-wide "recall".

Just get rid of the damn clicking screen you idiots! Give us a capacitative touch screen, and stop with trying to please what you guys think is a Blackberry user, and I'll and others will buy it.

Some people like the click screen. It would be interesting to have the ability to disable it. That may satisfy those users who dont like it. (APP Idea)? ;-)

thats the only thing that makes the storm not beat the iphone and also that you only get 1 gay theme which is verizon i like how the iphone isnt branded and verizon just brands everything down to the theme! update the touch screen and that and the iphone are tied

I still seriously doubt that it'd be tied with the iphone with just those few upgrades. But the DROID in my opinion is better than both those phones.

Ummmm....it IS a capacitative touch screen, capable of multi-touch even. Blackberry was just trying to do their own thing with the clicking

I still don't get how a little over a year ago, someone from Blackberry was quoted saying that touchscreens were a fad and had no business in the BUSINESS phone arena. Hmm and a short while later the Storm came out.. Does that say that the company just tossed a phone out to compete with the "fad" and really didn't put any weight behind it? That would explain the shoddy quality of the Storm/II. If you're gonna compete, step up and make a new touchscreen tech that works flawlessly with business applications. (Psst and is rock solid stable)

I still don't completely understand this sure type thing. Why does the screen need to click??? If the screens clicking doesn't work exactly how it should supposed to or it annoys you get a normal blackberry and stop complaining bout it!!! Get the bold 9700 or whatever on ATT or tmobile, which tmobile is fast and reliable in their network and Internet services. Plus the 9700 doesn't have that awful trackball thing that everyone thought was innovation a few years ago. Bb finally came into the present time with The optical trackpad that works a million times better than the ball ever will or did
