the surepress idea just really isnt catchy..it would have meant alot more if it would have worked the first time around but i cant see anybody grasp the idea that its a cool feature anymore...if there was someway, like an option in settings, to turn the clicking off and just use the touchscreen...maybe that might sell a few more storm2's...idk..as a storm owner, i dont feel like they did enough improvements to trick me into a new 2 year contract. i have 2 more lines i can add and the iphone for verizon is going on one of them needless to say, i very doubt it will happen with the latest, "theres a map for that" commercial and the android merge...

Storm 2 > iPhone 3GS

I bought the Storm 1 the day it cam out. The Storm 2 is the reason I switched to the iphone (best decision I have ever made!!!) It pissed me off that they were going to release another phone without fixing the MANY MANY problems the first one had. The Storm is still an inferior phone by far!!! I will never look back!!!

It looks like a nice phone. I will have to mess with one myself when they come out. I think it will be a nice improvement over the first Storm. In terms of iPhone competitiveness, however, too little too late. RIM has failed on this concept here and they are way too far behind the iPhone at this point in time to produce a legitimate contender to take away market share from Apple.

Jon it's a way different iPhone. Lots of improvements. Biggest one being when they roll out the 7.2 the old 3G won't do it. Then there's the video camera. And 3mp still camera. Voice control. Compass. And it's got a 600 MHz processor. Compared to 400. And 256 mega of ram vs 128. Augmented reality. There are a tin of things is does over the older one.

last time I checked the iPhone 3G[s] wasn't a big improvement from the iPhone 3G. the 3.0 OS was more anticipated than anything else...
