With all of the improvements that RIM has baked into the BlackBerry Storm 2, perhaps none impresses as much as the improved SurePress typing system. The "clicking keyboard" was a bullseye for criticism the moment the first-gen model was released to the public. Internal pictures of the new model show 4 sensors, one at each corner of the handset, as opposed to the one sensor in the middle of the original Storm unit. The 9550 Storm 2 is expected to be launched by Verizon on September 29th for business customers, October 14th for the rest of us. Pricing is unknown.
