Just saw a storm 2 in the wild....

how do i know

bc it was a touchscreen blackberry device and i was a patio table over from him while enjoying some food!

So what does it look like... imagine:

-Tour/Javelin top rocker buttons mute/hold or whatever Blackberry logo confirmed it was a berry. Smaller than original storm top button things...
-Send/End/back/berry button flat and a part of the screen sorta looks like Gemini buttons!

ohh now that i type this i actually see a real photo of the storm2 of a guy holding it haha, anyways it was exciting to see this!

My friend whos working for mechanical design for RIM is developing a phone that will be released in two years, I'll try and get more information/code name from him but it's doubtful because if that is leaked he will be fired instantly... haha

Enjoy

Lol you might want to edit your number out and send him a DM so some crazy groupies don't get your number and call you at all god awful hours of the night waking up your hole family and then not getting back to sleep so your late for work and lose your job. And we all know its tough to get a job these days.

I have been in the Verizon store several times "visiting" my next phone (the storm). I'm really just waiting to see just what improvments have been made to the storm before taking the plunge. It seems that everything right now is really alot of speculation. Being this close to a possible release I would hate to get one only to see improvments I wanted incorperated into the new phone.

lol

Someone I know has one...ahah

It's a very nice device! But this is one of the multiple touch devices coming out. I think I know of 3 or 4 right now.

I thought the storm2 looks exactly like the storm. Are you sure that is what you saw? How would you be able to tell the difference? Especially from a distance.

BlackBerry 9550 is the Storm 2? : Boy Genius Report

No. the STORM has actual physical buttons at the bottom.
STORM 2 has touchscreen buttons. i.e. they are part of the screen, as you can see in the image, vs. an image of the storm from the bb website.

he was the next table overfrom me on the patio so distance from me to him was about 2 feet just outta arms reach...

Waterloo...Now that I know where the alter for the BB gods is located, all I need is to find a virgin to go there with me....

i played with the storm 2 over the weekend...it's basically the same thing as the original storm...just a few minor tweaks here and there..OS was new 5.0....if you think that the new storm 2 will be revolutionary, be prepared to be disappointed...i'll just stick to my BOLD on ATT...touch screen is not for me...

The question will be will ATT and Rogers get dibs on selling the Storm2 this time?

September Back to school promos will be ofering new phones, Maybe the Storm2, but for sure before Xmas

Your not going to see the storm 2 for back to school, maybe xmas, but even that is a difficult shot.

I agree. Although the Storm 2 and a couple of other devices are in the labs of certain carriers, my guess is you won't see the it until at least Christmas. Just like the OS on the current 95xx, it is a work in progress.

I hope it's better than the first one...

I was in my local VZW store "visiting" my next phone. Well actually I looked at the Tour as well and now I'm torn, beacuse that is one sweet device I tell ya woooo!!!! Anyway I asked the rep if they were prepping for a new storm soon and he told me they had been told they would have the next generation Storm by the time school starts. I can't wait to stand in the store and put the Tour next to the Storm and see which one I'll end up with. My impression of the Tour is my Curve on serious steroids!

Nothing is confirm yet on the release of the Storm2 but I cannot wait until it is release. I have and love the first version but if it really does have wi-fi and all touch screen... I am sold

Did everybody check out the video of the 9550 on crackberry? They have two working models and a video that demonstrates it. This is finally some real evidence it should be out soon...my NE2 was up yesterday and I am dying to get one so I am hoping for a Sept-Oct outting!

Nice video, but nothing really new was shown, no wifi... Only big thing was OS 5.0

storm dos? who knew

We did for a while now
