Take the BlackBerry Storm. Now imagine a phone that's basically exactly the same, but does everything better. That's the Storm 2. It's the same phone, essentially, just refined in nearly every way. It's not the Storm reinvented, it doesn't shoot lasers, and it's not...

The original BlackBerry Storm left many unhappy with the clicking touchscreen called SurePress. After a lengthy batch of leaks, the BlackBerry Storm2 9550 is on its way to Verizon. From what we’ve seen, the new and improved SurePress is based on a series of four sensors beneath the screen, as...

There is hope that Blackberry OS 6 will tap into the phones true potential. Until then I would have to say that if you are in the market for a high-end smartphone there are better options available to you, but it’s certainly the best Blackberry on the market – if your work requires you to use a...

When people ask me if I like this phone, most are wanting me to compare it to the iPhone. Well, it's not an iPhone and I don't think it was meant to be one.... Compared to the other Blackberry lines, I like it. Basically instead of the 'little ball' to move around you use...

The product is good, but the screen sometimes freezes and since it is a touchscreen it affects all the buttons (i.e. the calling hang up, back, and menu) and it has good battery life, it is a good phone but it should have an upgrade for certain things, like an overall OS upgrade for it, or else...

My first BlackBerry was the Tour which I liked because of the physical keyboard but hated because of the OS (4.7 would crash if you loaded too many apps on it, meaning more than 20 more beyond what comes on the phone). So I ended up with a BlackBerry Storm 2 on Verizon. The up side is that I like...

| HARDWARE & FEATURES | The phone feels great to hold and has a very smooth surface all-around. The bottom row of buttons are now flush with the screen and function buttons are just a little more recessed so to avoid accidental pressing. The battery cover and external speaker have also been...

Had it for one year. I couldn't end my contract with this cell phone due to its hard to use UI and touch screen capabilities. Thanks God RIM stopped the production of this one.

a bit heavy, so you would think it's durable. Well, i'm on Storm #5. Screen cracks easily and the call clarity diminishes over time. I can think of a ton of reasons why this was a bad idea.
