Love it or hate it, the BlackBerry Storm is getting a followup. This thing has been spending a whole lot of time around the rumor mill as of late, and now it’s made its on-camera debut.
CrackBerry managed to obtain a handful of shots, and it’s looking pretty sharp so far. Not much to go off of spec-wise here, though the pics do confirm that the Storm 2 will sport the same 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera found in the original, along with a ton of polish around the edges. It looks like RIM has opted to drop the physical face buttons in favor of touch-sensitive keys.
So, what do you think, current model Storm owners? Does the sequel seem droolworthy yet?
I drooled, if it means anything. I will probably upgrade my phone to this when it comes out. ^_^
Testing….
Ok, we like RIM. In fact, some of us came from Waterloo. But RIM’s first BlackBerry Storm was just a product disaster and only serious BlackBerry fans with iPhone envy would buy it. In a rush to capitalize on the full screen smartphone popularity, RIM rushed Storm out the door, basically shoe-horning existing BlackBerry UI on a full touch device. That just doesn’t work, and the result was a failed product.
We hope that RIM will fix the user interface problems in Storm 2.

The Storm 2 seems like it will be the Windows 7 to the Storm 1’s Vista.
Is this supposed to be something new, all it looks like to me is a Storm that has just been opened that looks identical to the original. This is pathetic if you ask me. Who the hell cares about these things anyways? According to the consumer market a measely 2% or less. Give us something juicy if you are going to write a post about CrapBerrys!!!
Less then 2%. Do you even know what you are talking about. The number 3 phone sold was the storm. The curve being 1 and the iPhone being 2. Really the only problem that the storm has is the slow software. If you are a dedicated BB user then you have the updated the OS to .131 or .141. I am using the .141 and love the phone. It works in my opinion better then the iPhone. If you are going to bash RIM please know what you are talking about.
what … the … fuck … seriously? Wow, I’ll write a more intelligent comment later. But crackberry took these photos off, does any knwo where to find them?
