Next Gen BlackBerry Storm Typing Demo - part deux
Posted in Devices on 10 Sep 2009 15:53 by Kevin Michaluk | 37 comments


Our pal sal is back again with another Storm II typing demo. Check it out above and discuss in the forums or comments below!! Sal says to keep this in mind while watching... "I'm not hitting the right keys, but the phone knows exactly what I'm trying to type, which makes typing on it a breeze".

Quickest thumbs ever!

Thanks for another great video on the storm 2 typing!

Awesome Sal, you are not making my decisions any easier. Look forward to the Onyx demo.

I can get the phone or the OS please!!!

By: r3g | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 15:12

Thats nice consistent typing regardless of what kind of keyboard it is. It would still take a lot for me to build enough faith in touchscreen to leave my 8900 behind though.

By: wcihlu | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 15:15

is that the onyx????
Sal.. two questions.. What do u do and How do i do what u do!
I believe this is something along the line what Will Smith said in "The Pursuit of Happyness"

By: aquaj13 | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 15:36

this looks really good. I am not as avid typer as Sal is but i still think that this phone will be better than the original.
Thanks for the vid.

Why is it so loud? I heard it was loud because in one video the back wasn't on? That squeaking noise is the most annoying noise. If the Storm II sounds anything like that or has a louder "click" than the Storm I...epic FAIL

By: Desconocido | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 16:10

Hey Gardogg03,
I know you! Your that guy from back in high school that has an out-of-this-world ability to find the negative in every situation. How's the divorce treating you?

BTW - Congratulations on keeping that going. Your prize will be 'epic failure' in most aspects of your life.

By: r3g | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 16:32

LOL OWNED..

By: Gardogg03 | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 16:48

I love my Storm I and look forward to the Storm II. However, if that sound is there to stay then I won't be looking to upgrade. The new leaks show that the Storm I can be great on 5.0 anyway. If you have an answer as to why the device makes that noise I'd love to see the link.

By: allboutvzwStorm | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 15:41

That is pretty nice..... I like alot. I do hope you can turn that clicking sounds off, that is going to drive me bonkers.

By: McNooberson | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 15:43

great stuff salbert, thats exactly what i was looking for :) i type in landscape a lot and now this has made me even more excited for the release!!!

By: cadsystems | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 15:54

Just the count down for when RIM legal gets wind of this. Glad I got to see it before it goes POOF!

By: calizae74 | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 15:55

Thanks for the vid. Looks like you and I have the same typing speed. I'm gonna have to get this phone asap!

By: mikryd | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 16:05

And "POOF" it's gone....

By: beagleberry | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 16:31

Damn that was quick RIM. I guarantee someone on RIM's legal team follows Crackberry on Twitter and whenever there is a video of an unreleased device they shoot the same email off to youtube but just change the link of the video.

By: 2005CTS | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 17:46

I love Sal's videos...with one exception. They are released most often while I am at work and by the time I get home they are gone...

Such a bummer. I can't wait to hear some official news from RIM soon. If the early rumors were correct we are less than three weeks away from the B2B release and just under a month from the full consumer release of S2.

By: ootuoyetahi | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 17:52

My GF even said that was gone quicker than she's used to.

By: cadillac6661 | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 18:28

I keep gettin' here AFTER the removal?!?!

By: tlo07 | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 19:06

Dang it! I missed it too.

By: skyboxer | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 19:10

To think RIM pays somebody to do this! Monitor for vids and make sure they are removed, even though the time for product changes is likely passed, the technology is well known, and the video itself reveals no new information.

By: noobuser | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 19:11

So can somebody describe what was on the video?

By: doctabomb | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 21:21

Has nobody here ever thought to type in "storm 2 typing" into the youtube search engine after this linked video is pulled?

The video is still on youtube just under other people accounts. Give it a shot.

Oh and the video is just of him typing in landscape mode just as well as he did in portrait mode. (suretype vs. qwerty)

By: howl078 | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 22:45

Common RIM we need the videos!!!!!!

By: maddie1128 | Date: Thu, 09/10/2009 - 23:24

Hey you rock. I did the search and there was the video!! Thanks. I was bummin that I missed it again. And Sal--I wish I could type half as fast as you. Thanks so much for giving us these little glimpses of Storm 2. I am dying for it!!!

By: dariuscuh | Date: Fri, 09/11/2009 - 00:28

I found the video on youtube, nice... ima get it.

By: tgoace | Date: Fri, 09/11/2009 - 00:54

post is useless.

By: runlcc | Date: Fri, 09/11/2009 - 02:33

I found it on YouTube, as well! Nice! ~ And like some of the comments here, I too feel that they took this video down much faster this time round. RIM is watching this site like a hawk!

By: AQucsaiJr | Date: Fri, 09/11/2009 - 07:04

Video seems to be removed.... Crap wanted to see it.

By: billm85 | Date: Fri, 09/11/2009 - 07:33

stop posting videos that get removed!!!!!

By: r3g | Date: Fri, 09/11/2009 - 18:55

Why? Previews of new devices are always good.. Sucks that they get taken down but that doesnt mean they shouldnt be posted at all..

By: Jdr8402 | Date: Fri, 09/11/2009 - 09:04

The more vids I see of this phone, the more I like.

By: maddie1128 | Date: Fri, 09/11/2009 - 10:30

Click on the link above--type Storm 2 Typing- in the search box-- then click on the fifth video---it is right there!! ENJOY!!!!

By: CatAlex | Date: Fri, 09/11/2009 - 17:10

i always seem to miss these vids when they're on!

By: Neuromancer | Date: Fri, 09/11/2009 - 22:00

Hey guys. Does anyone know if the 9520 is going to be coming to Rogers as the rumors suggested early this year? I was curious. And damn, i missed the vid.
