[4269iscool]

[jalmeida51]

[satchboogie92]

@jalmeida51 Yes.

[Icanhazthatb00tI3bag]

Can it support flash

[IFdUrMaI]

Do you have to actually.. CLICK the screen?

[twisterspin24]

@IFdUrMaI its hard to explain go to a verizon store and try it out technically yes

[zwarrior93]

w8 :O telus got the BlackBerry storm 2 but than how come the site does not show it?

[ehbra]

@zwarrior93 it was discontinued. the torch took it over

[TaoG3r]

[ehbra]

could you please show the calendar--i want to see what you can do with it.

[BlacKGraFFiX]

Ok, im confused. I know theres a GSM and CDMA version of the Storm2. The Telus website says this is a CDMA, so im guessing thats a CDMA card slot? Or is it...

[Jaggabone]

EVERY review I've see state SurePress on these Storm2's but NOBODY hold the device on a table flat to SHOW IF/NOT the screen moves at all (CLICKS) or if its sound. No review is Bold enough to say this outright.

RIM why did you NOT make this with UMTS 850/1900/2100/1700Mhz bands to compete with iPhone??!

[Circa1990]

The clicking is the screen pressing down.

[GDawning]

@Jaggabone This is probably waaaaay late. 3 months. LOL Anyway yes the is a clicking the screen does move when you press it. But it's way easier to press and not as terrible as the original storm.

[schenn147]

Why can't Blackberry figure out how to make a web video look good???

I mean, I love my blackberry, but c'mon RIM.

[mg9289]

does this phone work on gsm networks?? Like if i decided to travel to egypt for example can i get rid of the telus sim and insert another gsm based sim card into it and still expect it to work????

[CameleonMK]

If the phone is unlocked, yes.

[JogBird]

is this better than the htc hero?

[songthirtyone]

Why Can't Rogers offer a touch screen Blackberry! I almost want to go back to Telus, just so that i can get the Storm 2 !

[Bobcat665]

Just loaded OS 5 on my Storm 9530 and I must say that the improvements between the 9530 and the 9550 are just as much software related as they are hardware. I'm not feeling as much hardware envy as I would otherwise. Maybe I'll be able to hang on 'til the Storm 3 comes out.

[darron455]

haha u e-mailed megan fox

[MrKoreanKing]

love the clicking lol. But can you tell us if u can turn off the click sounds though.(if i want to text in class the clicking would be problematic lol.

[Sudsmcduff96]

I think the click is the screen not the phone... Not sure tho.

[kid1der1456]

@MrKoreanKing i heard tht the clicking only happens wen u have the bac off otherwise u don have to wrry abt the sound

[kid1der1456]

@MrKoreanKing apparently not the case her P:

[THEBR0WNGUY]

i heard the typing was improved, but trying to use (left) Shift + z wouldn't work because they were really close is this true?

[KittyGetAway]

Haha, hmm that IS true(tried it on my Storm1) However; .. That is if you are forcing a multi-touch capability(it, holding the Shift + trying to press Z) when all you have to do is "Lock" the shift button or press it once to capitalize or shift the Z...

Mainly- its nothing to sneeze about.
