Video: Typing on the Next Generation BlackBerry Storm By Kevin Michaluk | 06 Sep 2009 09:05 | 
124 comments
With all the BlackBerry Bold 9700s and Storm 9550/9520's floating around out there, I hope over the next couple of weeks RIM just announces these devices so we know just exactly when all of us can get our hands on one. This time around our pal salomondrin is backto show off just how fast typing on the next generation BlackBerry Storm will be. The video is short and sweet, but is guaranteed to get all the Storm 2 chasers out there excited. The typing action completely owns the original Storm. You can jump over to the CrackBerry forums for more info and ask sal any questions you may have about his new Storm.

That right there is reason enough for me to switch from my Storm 1 to the 2!
You said it bro!
Yea what he ^ said!!!
Very impressive! Can't wait for this phone! Thank you for this!
wow. just wow.
i dont know about anyone else, i love the way it sounds
That is sooooo amazing. I am up for my upgrade and can't wait. Typing on the Storm has been my main complaint. I can hardly wait.
you type super fast ha ha ha. this is the video that convinced me to get the Storm 2 when it comes out. thanks :)
There is no way that is in real time...no ones thumbs move that fast. He had to of sped up that video.
Also, how am I supposed to text my friends while I am in meetings...that click is crazy loud.
This guys thumbs move that fast, too:

People can type pretty fast on BlackBerry devices.
Click only sounds like that because of the camera, I guarantee it is not that loud in person.
This is definitely in real time......... everyone one of my fiends (at least girl friends) can type that fast on a regular cell phone and so did I.
This purely shows each screen click is individual and separate from the previous or next one.
No... there's plenty of people that fast. I'm one of them, even though the storm 1 slows me down a bit i can usually crank out 50-60 wpm at a minimum on it.
If you turn the volume up on the video and just listen to the background noises (office telephone ringing) they are consistent through out the typing and afterwards. That is actual real time typing from him. Unbelievable but true.
HOLY EFF I CANT TYPE THAT FAST ON THE KEYBOARD!
WHOA!!!
The storm 2 looks great. I love my storm but the typing does get old quick.
Smokin' fast! :)
How is it that certain people have gotten there hands on the Strom 2 before it is released?
BTW - This video is awsome - I do like the the keyboard it is another reason to upgrade to the Storm 2 when ever it might be released.
Is this guy is on to something or is he just on something.....LOL. That was one helluva display of typing on steriods. LOL
There is no way this video is legit. Look as his thumb twitch at hyperspeed at 10 seconds into the video
The video is legit. I dont see any reason he would have to exaggerate. He is just a person showing us the capabilities of the storm 2.
i dont understand why someone would think this is fake , his hands arent moving that fast. besides ive seen people type that fast on the iphone
why in the world would he waste time making a fake video showing off the typing speed on a storm 2? that makes NO sense.
does anyone else find the clicking sound to be really annoying? i want the phone.. but not if i (or the people around me) have to hear that every time i am typing something.
so we have all of this and still no proximity sensor? Even my sons dare has one oh but not the storm? Or storm II/2
So does it have it and will bb get it right by adding this or will it goof off when you put it up ro your face to use it?
is this the same device same web interesting formatted "html" browsing, same interesting formatted "html" email, with a new clicky screen that can be shut up by accident, or is that a feature?
Also please tell me that we have moved from the old courier text in almost all of the apps and native very latent web browsing?!
I hope they finally will realize that its a standard thing now.
i love the vertical suretype keyboard
those keys are by far the largest out there and to add this blazing speed on top of it is only going to make it better
i might actually consider staying with rim now instead of defecting to hopefully a vzw iphone
To all the skeptics:
Stfu, the typing IS that good (even in full kb mode). Believe me, it IS THAT GOOD (dont ask, i wont tell)
To everyone:
Notice the multi-touch/click in action while he is typing. Notice his next key is highlighting (and probably beginning to click) while he releases the next key,, just like a physical keyboard. Storm owners are going to have to unlearn how to type when they switch :)
I want it know! I also want the Onyx. :)......... The hell with it, I'll just get them both.
Very very nice!
Does this guy know how to type holding the phone horizontally? It makes me think that it doesn't type well holding it this way.
I type not as fast as him but damn near close on my storm 1 on on a portrait keypad. So dont be fooled by his typing guy. Also when I type fast there are sometime. where the lag gets in and slow down the process no matter what I'm very fast with my storm 1 and i'm not paying lots of money for a storm 2 just because he type fast no I want better software and maybe more pixels on my camera. Don't be fooled by the lil features of the phone be more concerned about the operating system and etc
Maybe you should slow down...to fix your grammar.
AMEN
wow im impressed by this! makes me want the phone even though i hated the original storm! and i dont hate your voice sal i actually love it! lol
Some good stuff right there.
can no one else type that fast on a regular storm? cause its not that hard
I don't understand why people think he sped up the video. We probably could all type faster if it weren't for the lag that is present on the S1. It looks like the S2 will actually be able to keep up! I can't wait to get my hands on one of these puppies :D
personally I like typing on the Storm 1. I also would like to challenge this OP to a typing contest me with the Storm 1 and him with the Storm 2. I realy see no reason to switch to the Storm 2 from the Storm 1. Don't believe the hype I am sure the Storm 2 will be loaded with problems just like ALL recent BlackBerrys on Verizon. If you have AT&T in your area I would get the iPhone 3g S. the app store is much much better than the BlackBerry App World. and it is soo much eaiser to use than the BlackBerry. If you are Stuck with Verizon I would seriously look into the new Motorolla Android phone coming in 2010, it will blow away any BlackBerry out there.
You're just being a little b*tch that your Storm 1 will soon be outdated and will not accept the fact that there is a better device.
I'm sure you'd say the same thing if you had a iPhone 3G and saw the 3GS come out.
I dont get why would you visit a sight called crackberry, to promote the iphone? if that phone so good, what drives you to check blackberries out?
i love my blackberry , and i dont go around checking to see what there saying about the iphone and there apps.
Wondering if the firmware updates would make any improvement on my Storm or if I will just need to move up to the Storm 2.... Decisions.....
install the 167. to your storm now . im loving this phone now , no memory leaks . long battery life, everything is fast as hell
I'm glad to see these vids. I just hope the negative comments does not stop you from posting them. I know I type real fast on my S1.
Sorry, but I too call BS on this. Put it all together.
1. "People keep complaining about my voice, so I won't talk." -- Uh huh. More like "if I talk, it will be obvious that I have sped up the playback a little."
2. The video changes at 0:07. The camera's exposure level resets, just like it would if you start a new recording. He obviously spliced the last 00:29 seconds on -- and it is that 00:29 that is suspiciously speedy.
3. Forget the "typing movement" of his fingers. Look at the little twitches between typing movements. They are beyond quick -- and faster than the twitches on the fingers of the guy linked to in comment by Jeremy Kitching.
In response to people saying "why would he do that?" - don't be so naive. Companies intentionally "leak" products, internal memoranda, and "I'm not supposed to post this to the web, but I will anyway" videos all the time these days. My money is on Salomondrin being a shill. RIM knows what he's doing because RIM is paying him to do it -- and then following up with a not-too-speedy, cat-and-mouse Youtube pull-down. So why would he speed up the playback? To build buzz and interest, so they sell more units at launch.
And I too have a Storm 1 and type pretty fast on it. This is not sour grapes, a general dislike of RIM (I love my Storm and I want a Storm2!), or general disbelief that people can type fast on a Blackberry. I just have to call a spade a spade -- and this spade isn't even all that well disguised.
I totally agree with you. The video IS FAKE thats why he didnt talk.
Notice at 0:07 theres a cut.
it's not all that hard to record some speech and then just overlap it with the existing sound...please stop it with this conspiracy crap/fake video/he's working with rim to promote storm 2
what your saying is possible, but ive seen people type this fast on it, i just cant do it . on the storm or any other phone. but i do have a friend that types this fast on the storm 1
it looks like he typed slowly then just played the video at a faster pace. thats why he didnt talk while he was typing.
and the phone was moving around way too much, at a very high speed.
Nice
