It’s been quite a while since we last heard anything about the BlackBerry Storm 2. We know its coming with a better touchscreen display with WiFi included, and now, we’ve got a major update for your RIM aficionados out there. It’s just been revealed that the BlackBerry 9550 aka Storm 2 will actually come with 3.2-megapixel camera, quad-band GSM/EDGE, UMTS/HSDPA (2100MHz), CDMA 1xRTT/EVDO Rev. A, WiFi b/g connectivity, a 360×480 capacitive touchscreen display, and runs on OS 5.0. With the exception of WiF and slight design changes, everything looks to be just at par with the original Storm which, to be honest, is actually quite disappointing since we’re hoping for more new features to be included in the latest iteration of RIM’s touchscreen phone. No word yet on when it will exactly hit the market, but it is expected to be released later this year. How about you guys? What do you think of the BlackBerry Storm 2? Is it worth the wait?

I was going to get the original Storm, then got all excited when I heard about the Storm 2. What a disappointment, there’s hardly any difference between them. I’m an Alltel customer and they’re the *only* ones with a tower in my (small) town. They’ll be completely switched to VZW in September IIRC. I think I’ll hold out and wait to see what Google Android phones they get instead. I’d love something with a 480×800 screen. 360×480 is somewhat painful to view most websites on. I’ll be using the phone more for browsing than email, and every review I’ve found shows that Android beats Blackberry for browsing anyways.

Bring it on. It looks awesome. The addition of WiFi and 3.2 camera plus tabbed browsing and 5.0. This is my next phone.
How come there are always people who no matter what it is, just complain about everything. Stop whining people. If you don’t like it, DON’T BUY IT!!!
