Storm 2 vs Tour
Storm 2 could drop on Verizon sooner than expected : Boy Genius Report
Apparently, the Storm 2 (with wifi) will be out within the next 2-6 weeks, prior to the Tour release July 13th. This sort of throws a wrench in my decision to upgrade to the Tour. The Storm 2 should have all of the kinks worked out (hopefully), including a true touch screen. Sorry to all of those that purchased the first Storm and are unhappy. What are your thoughts? |

I'm going to check out the storm2 instore as soon as I can, but as of now I intend to wait for the tour |
I'll be waiting for the Tour as well. If I wanted a touch screen device, I would probably get the iPhone. I'll still play with the Storm 2 in store and check the reviews, but unless people are blown away, I won't be going for it.

I don't think the Tour has WiFi which is a real benefit for browsing speed compared to the Vzn network. Now having had WiFi on my 8900 I don't think I'd go back. But to think that the Storm2 will be night and day better than Storm1 is taking a real leap of faith. I'll beleive it when i see it.

BGR is on something, he is trolling with made up stuff to try and get somebody to comment, he is being trolled by somebody to make him look more stupid than usual, or its simply a misunderstanding and this is simply storm training for new staff ready for a new release of software. |

what was the topic of this thread again?

I guess it all comes down to whether or not you want a touch screen device. Until the devices are actually released, we won't know for sure, but according to the rumors out there now - the Tour seems like its going to be about 95% Storm1 guts with a physical keyboard and possibly shipping with OS 5.0... Is there going to be new hardware under the hood of the Storm2? ::shrugs:: If there is not - then, again, its just a matter of Touchscreen versus Physical Keyboard. Personally, I'll take the physical keyboard any day.

Honestly, do you like touchscreens or no?
VZW gives you 30 days to bring the device back, so I would try it out and if you like it then stay with it if not then give it back and try the other device. I can't see VZW releasing the Storm 2 that fast.. and with Wifi, sounds too good to be true, but I could be wrong.. If it comes with Wifi I may have to give it another look at :) (also the picture in that article is a Storm 1, look at the keys they are not part of the screen) |

Thanks Steve,
Now Ive heard it from three Sprint Reps that they are getting a new blackberry in the third quarter, these people need to stop teasing! lol |
It was the Tour/Niagara was rumored to be released in Q3 for Sprint..
Unless it's been changed to be the Storm 1/2... but I haven't even heard rumors of that yet. |
