* Update:
BOOM. Here it is CrackBerry Nation, your FIRST look at the BlackBerry Storm TWO. I'm not even sure what to say here... other than a super trusty source sent us in these pictures of RIM's next generation of BlackBerry touchscreen. Looking at the photos, you can see it shares its physical appearance with both the original BlackBerry Storm and the yet unreleased BlackBerry Onyx/Driftwood. Bookmark/Search this post with:

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is this another comment contest ? please let me win it :)
I'm not impressed
looks like the same crappy device that the first storm was in my opinion.. i am neither impressed
They need to offer those of us who put up with this laggy sub-optimal device so that their 4th QTR 08 and 1st QTR 09 numbers could get a boost a DEEP trade in discount.
My guess is, that as soon as we mention THAT kind of loyalty (ie that costs RIM $$$) we will finally get the REAL story that it was the Curve and not the Storm that boosted RIM's numbers in ALL quarters... and the Storm was but a blip on the financial radar with it's no net gain trade/return/refund track record.
It looks very similar to the already awesome original Storm!
I don't know about the touch sensitive buttons - the rest of the phone is all touch-screen, so sometimes it's nice to have a few physical buttons too!
The Storm 2 looks so sexy.
How gnarly was it when Ben stabbed Jacob then Locke kicked homeboy into the fire.
Now thats good TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOOOOL !!!
I almost fell off the chair reading this one ! Yeah I was on the edge of my seat last night. Damn good !!
Talking about LOST on crackberry??
Is it true? Can two of my favorite things be found on one website??? haha.
Talk about a cliffhanger....
Someone had to break the ice.
I'm pretty bummed Locke is dead I was buying into that whole destiny thing.
Yeah, now we gotta wait till 2010 to see wtf happened! I hate that show sometimes!!! LOL! I can't wait for next season!
me neither! that was by far the best episode to date
And how awesome is it that Jacob lives under a statue of Sobek the Crocodile God!?!? Seriously cool! Meanwhile, did anybody get a translation of the Latin that "Ricardus" used to answer the "Shadow of the Statue" people?
I agree! This thing is bound to be an extension of the pile of grabage that I use every day! Ditch the clickable screen...its crap.
I agree to an extent. I love my storm, but the click screen sucks, I bought a "touch" screen phone for a reason. I dont like buttens and nw I got a phone that is one big button...If I have one more screen click and get stuck in I think Ill be all done with the "touch" screen BB til it truely is one. I am on #3 now both others had the same screen problem!
I'm on my 4th storm because my screen keeps sticking
stop jizzing on your storm and the screen wont stick!
click = no thank you
I like the clickable screen on places like the browser where you have to select something on the screen like a link. Not so much for typing. Say, what you will, it may be slower and the browser may not be as pretty, but browsing is a heck of a lot easier on the Storm than the Iphone because of it.
What?!? When I'm on break at work, I actually use my friend's iPhone because it's 10 times faster than my Storm.
Actually it depends on how many gb the iphone has Linsey, your friend at work most likey has a iphone with alot more gb, which cost a whole lot more than the regular iphones.
I love the storm as much as the next person and as far as blacberries go i am never owning anything else.....but we really should force Verizon to work on the storm I first. what if we buy the storm II and they dont do sheet with it for ever and we get screwed again..(i say again cuz i truly feel like storm I users got the shaft right in the back of the throat)!!! Its is so messed up that verizon has 0% support for the storm...did they forget why they exist? because we pay them!!!
Really? THAT is it? Are you SURE??? looks more to me like that could be the GSM version w wifi for other carriers. i mean it looks the SAME. sure all the buttons on the bottom are gone and w/e but not impressed at ALL. 3.2mp camera again???? The guts in that thing better be insane
They should offer a free one to all the dopes that signed up for an extra 2 years and bought the first one and have had to deal with that headache. Again, garbage.
...and Nissan needs to give everyone a free 09 maxima that bought the 08 model oh and I shouldnt have to go out and buy the new macbook air since I bought the old macbook last year, it should just be delivered right at my doorstep free, and wouldnt it only be right since I dated this hot chick last year, i automatically get to bang her even hotter sister this year, I mean its only fair!.......dude Im curious, hows the weather over there in InyourDreamsville, USA !!
You're goddamn right I want what I payed for, and If I cant have it, I either want a refund, or a free replacement. As a matter of fact, this happens ALL the time, smarty. I recently purchased a 56" flat screen that quit working 34 days after I purchased it. After multiple attempts by the manufacturers service dept ( JVC ), and a threat to call the Attorney General, and I had a brand new, next model tv delivered to my house. So your smug little example is BS. Many of us storm owners can tell the difference between having smoke blown up our asses, and have a working piece of hardware. You obviously like the first.
Its simply amazes me how many people read posts and are quick to comment but completetly miss the point. That car scenario is just plain ignorant. ass***e, people are not complaining because they purchased the storm, and just because there a working on a new one that might be better they should be entitled to one, there complaining because they havent resolved the issues with the first and have said or done nothing about it as of yet.congrats your post was one of the most idiotic ones I have ever read
WTF!! Then why are they commentting on this post u dumbass, if your mad they havent updated the storm what the hell does that have to do with the storm 2. If u know how to read u would see the guy feels verizon need to give it out for free to current storm users. WHy? you should be asking for an update not a free phone if thats really what is bugging u. U whining bitches are stuck in a contract and are mad that a newer better phone is coming out and theres nothing u can do about it. Well it happens all the time so GET THE HEll OVER IT!!!!
You've got to love internet fights, especially when they're covered with grammar mistakes.
You Should of gone with a diffrent carrier I got T-Mobile I can dump this garbage anytime and get a Storm 2 or Any other Blackberry of choice accept for the ones offered through Sprint/Nextel. Sounds like contract anger to me.
Did you mean "grammatical" instead of "grammar" mistakes? :)
You mean grammar mistakes like "you've got?"
ask 1st generation iPhone owners how their upgrade went when the 3G came out. for real, i have a Storm and am not expecting a handout. But am getting really frustrated for feeling stranded on updates. It's funny they got the 1st official fix out in a couple of weeks and now they are saying,"It's not good enough," neither is .75 but we are managing.
also...i think the pics are fake, some have the silver banding where others do not and the send/end keys are a little to different from regular Blackberry's. I understand modernizing, but that's too far. Good mock (fake)- up.
There is no "silver banding", that's glare, you fool!
No, that definitely has a chrome bezel
But the storm1 has the silver banding around it to just a little different, and the butttons are different than most blackberrys, but dont you think its time?
It amazes me how some people who are given the truth to a post, and they are still try and argue that they are right. You sir are wrong, retarded, and a dumbass, yes you are a dumbass, what the OP is trying to state is not that he should get a free Storm 2 just because it's the upgraded version of the Storm 1, he is stating that the original storm owners who have yet to demand a refund, or swapped carriers because the original storm is a POS, and have stuck with the storm should deserve a free/discounted storm 2 because the storm 1 was in fact a POS. If something new came out not even a year after the original, and they just quit on the updates with the original just so that they could work on the new one, wouldn't you think that you should get something out of the deal because you are the owner of the original? I would, mainly becuase they basically fucked you hardcore in the ass because they were like, the storm is so badass you should buy one, yeah there are bugs but they will be fixed. Then they are like, oh btw the storm sucks we are making a new one, you guys are fucked and have to stay with the original, and they just stop making updates and the storm 1 remains a POS, wouldn't you think that this is unfair to the original storm owners? I mean c'mon, it would seem only fair that they give original storm owners a discount, or a free upgrade to the storm 2 just because they fucked us over so hardcore.
You said something about a new car and what-not, if the car is a POS and there are bugs, aka shit wrong with the car, the makers of the car will recall the car and give you either your money back, or something else. With the girlfriend, yeah you may not have the "right" per-say, but you could damn well fuck the hotter sister if it came down to it, and you had the chance, but I think that neither existed enjoy your hand. You amaze me to still think he is just saying give the original storm owners the storm 2 just because we have the storm 1. NO the storm 1 has so many problems its rediculous, and the people that still have the POS storm should get something when the storm 2 comes out, or I'm switching from verizon, because it's just BS that there has only been one official update with the storm and it's been out for almost 6 months, and that official update didn't do jack shit!
lmao...........you are so right.
lmao...........you are so right.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Classic!
Omg... this response is hella funny!!!!!
WHY IS HE ALLOWED TO SPEAK
This screen does not click you tools. You at the buttons, it does not have the physics to click. RIM knows about their short comings, sorry all of you original storm users. This will actually be iphones "first true comparison", IF they deliver on their suspected specs. SO if this screen is multi-touch and the device has WIFI then it would be totally great. Now, lets see how long it takes Verizon to finally put it out and if they can get the software down before it is available. But, if it works as implied, this will be amazing. The timing is right for RIM to take over the smart phone market. I am a MAC user and I believe this......Let's see it happen RIM.
This revised version is already trademarked as TruePress.
does anyone know if the storm 2 will have a real touchscreen or the same clickscreen?
sweeet! this phone looks so nice!
I just want to say that I work for verizon wireless in maryland. There is no such thing as the blackberry storm 2. It is just like the thunder. IT DOES NOT EXIST. If it were true then you would see it on blackberry.com Im sorry to be the one to ruin everyone's hopes but there is no new blackberry. The only new blackberry that is coming out is the 8230. The flip pearl for verizon. But I just wanna repeat one more time that THERE IS NO BLACKBERRY STORM 2 COMING OUT EVER AND NO BLACKBERRY THUNDER
the screen kinda looks like its a higher resolution...and those bottom buttons dont seem to be as easy to break off when putting them in the stock holster anymore..
Looks to me like those buttons are all one piece with the screen now... interesting.
