I love this phone! The typing gets easier the more you do it. I love the way the screen clicks, hate those phones that you just touch, not click. Also, I LOVE the big screen! All this and still all the regular reliability of the Blackberry brand. I think I'm in love :)
i just updated my blackberry storm's software today. and i'm really impressed. i was really getting fed up with the old operating system's mediocre performance, but now it feels like an entirely new phone. i'm especially in love with the camera now, it captures photos instantly now! the design of the blackberry storm 2 is superior to the one i have, but the new software makes up for it. oh and if anybody has any rarely known hints/tips for the storm, let me know.
thanks stunna..i ordered my storm on saturday and sunday i saw the commercial for the storm 2 so i was kinda freakin out but i hear its basically the same..thanxx
if u press what you want to select lightly, it just highlights it with a blue aura or glow, and u have to press (click) that down def. harder than the iphone
The Storm 1 works just as well now that the new software is out. The OS is identical. If I got a new phone I'd go with the Droid. My Storm is losing sensitivity on the edges of the screen so I have to switch from landscape to portrait sometimes if I'm using the w, s, or d keys a lot.
Get the HTC Desire or Legend. I've had a Storm for a year, and I've had it with the slow updates. When there is an update they fix some issues and create others.
New 5.0 update made the Storm 1 the same as this. Now super speedy, better messaging, animated graphics, slick scrolling and faster overall. Only difference with Storm 2 is wifi (already have to pay for a data plan anyway), 16gig, piezo touch screen and some cosmetic changes. Storm 2 is really nice though. The original has been improved so much so I'll keep my first one.
@okeeno27, i just wanted to let you know that yes, it does let you watch youtube vids but only because the storm 2 supports youtube. it doesent actually have flash player so you wont be able to watch videos from other sites, sorry
@gazzel1234 yes i'm a girl too and love getting my nails done! it's fine! it is a very good phone, the camera is very very good! its better than other black berrys i'd say. the only thing is the screen sometimes doesn't respond, but that's like any blackberry!!!
Very nice, but I'm still not sure if I should upgrade. Storm is just as fast with the latest OS especially when the original theme is used. Typing also has increased accuracy. Nice animations and more neat changes. WiFi is nice but I have unlimited data.
I'm on the fence with this or the Droid coming out in six days. The Blackberry Storm 2 was delivered yesterday but i refused it because the Droid is so tempting (I currently have the Storm 1) If i'm going to use up my 2yr upgrade plus 50 bucks, do i want to get the Storm 2 with minor upgrades (129.99) or the Droid which looks crazy good (149.99)?
it will probably be heading to canada real soon and probably on telus because telus carries the storm one and seems to have pretty much all the same phones that verizon carries.
all the storm2 videos i watch show the keyboard with 2 letters/key in portrait mode, while the original storm had a full qwerty when in portrait. does anyone know if this is customizable on the storm2?
guys tell me if this is a mixture of iphone & blackberry? is it the best of both worlds, i am seriously considering getting this but some people are putting me off and asking me to get a bold2 ?
it still clicks but you do not have to push in it hard anymore, they fixed that, and they are probably going to make an app where you do not have to click :D
you would hope that it would, seeing as RIM is a Canadian company based here in Canada... :S its awful as it is that blackberrys cost less in the US then here
i use to have it, it's a great phone but i guess it was just new at that time the program wanst really good to function, hank all the times.. but other than that it's great
I just played with the DROID today... the touch screen is fantastic... but the over all feel of the unit was cheapish. The keypad is HORRIBLE. Overall I think this will be like the Storm 1...the Droid 2 will be so much better. I just didn't feel very good about how the slider screen works..or the keypad. those were my biggest peeves. The speed of the phone though is great.

you can use it with at&t if you get it unlocked. and unlocked version will most likely be 500 bucks and up
The first one had tempered glass for the screen as well.

Is the surepress based on resistive touch technology?
@TheTheGunnar no....its a world sim card as in...just gsm it does nothing but hold a signal outside of america

@wesTbruce yea you have a total of i think 4 keyboards
@VAskater10 no. they're not. i didnt see that until now...
@MissFortissimo101 I DONT KNOW BUT IS THE ALL CAPS NECESSARY?
does anyone know when the storm2 is coming to canada, and what phone companies will have it??
it will probably be heading to canada real soon and probably on telus because telus carries the storm one and seems to have pretty much all the same phones that verizon carries.
should i get the
1.blackberry bold
2. droid
3. or storm 2?
all the storm2 videos i watch show the keyboard with 2 letters/key in portrait mode, while the original storm had a full qwerty when in portrait. does anyone know if this is customizable on the storm2?
is this coming out in canada and when ?
Sweet... now if we just knew when it's coming out!

ive looked at some websites and it says the release about the summer time
im trying to choose between this the blackbery bold 9700 and the sony ericsson satio can anyone give me any suggestions ?
whats better, blackberyy bold 9700 or the storm 2.
also does the storm 2 have bbm?
can u change the colors? on the screen
gsm...meaning that if i have tmobile and i buy it. the 3g from tmobile will still work?
i now thats exacly what i said did you get yours from the computer or you went to the store cause you could try to get it cheaper at the store
What was the trick? Im running 5.0 and everything is beautiful, but i'd love to enhance the typing experience.
you don't get to keep the phones right?
you had the 2 or the 1?...what didn't you like about it?
does this phone require a media package?
@weezyfcrazy23 i was asking for the storm 2 i ment like how the "keyboard" has the 2 letters per key can u make it a normal full qwerty?
hey i was wondering if u can make it so the keyboard is a full qwerty keyboard in potrait mode instead of just landscape mode?
can anyone help please?
After th e5.0 OS update. The storm 1 is on par with the software of the storm 2
ya i think you can change the keyboard
includng the data plan, I want to have 1500 texting and gps with it. on a single plan, what would my cellphone bill be a month
guys tell me if this is a mixture of iphone & blackberry? is it the best of both worlds, i am seriously considering getting this but some people are putting me off and asking me to get a bold2 ?
got the storm 1 with the new update it works jst like the storm 2 only difference is the button arrangment
@MrAustinorater SMS or Texting is just text messaging. MMS is multimedia messaging, like picture, video, and voice.
@snakeseanjake yes it could
@waelib1 - Yeah, it is.
should i buy it? is about 250 bucks unlocked in ebay
is this also for sprint
they use sim cards for phones you can use over seas... like i have the tour for verizon and i have a sim card.
can anyone tell me if this is gonna be out for at&t?
Can't decide what phone is better Blackberry Storm 2 or HTC HD2 :(( Help please
SHOULD I GET THIS OR DOES IT FREEZE A LOT?
which phone do u use the most?
yes and it click only where your finger finger pushes.... not the hole screen :D
This is the second video not sponsored by Apple
@waelib1 yes!
@maAxx341 you if you have verizon can you tell me how much it is a month for the interent additional package
it still clicks but you do not have to push in it hard anymore, they fixed that, and they are probably going to make an app where you do not have to click :D
I ordered mines yesterday cant wait I was saving up for an iPhone 4 but didnt get there in time for the switch from AT&T to verizon oh well my mom
Does anyone know when it comes out for telus?
LOL

Wow a BB2 already? You can never keep up!

the most important improvement of the latest version, WiFi !!!!
