BlackBerry Storm 2: Keyboard & Typing

[RealJayyTV]

i just threw mine and shattered it. it was the best decision ive made in my life.

[katcampbmixxxes]

why the keypad sounds like that???

[moneyman123212]

man this is gonna be my dream phone

[Horsebackrider05]

blackberrys aint the same with the track pad:P

[danielmardeldj]

this is blackberry 9520?

[kalijasin]

You got good real world reviews and testing. Very helpful stuff.

[TheSpike139]

I have LG Optimus S

[TheSpike139]

What's the keyboard called I'm using smart keyboard pro and the storm 2 it looks sick as heck

[sunlight942]

Balckberry storm is baree sick i hope i get one, soon :(

[Fitpete]

There is no mention of the compatibility of contacts in particular Apple Address Book and Entourage. I have experienced problems with the Bold when Syncing contacts. I need Apple compatibility. Any suggestions?

[cokbagus23]

it's easy for you ppl who speaks english everyday cos, in other countries like indonesia it's hard to type using it. cos when you wanna type smthing in indonesian it's automatically changed , and you have to delete it, and type it again...

[varquez7]

@cokbagus23 lol.

[meccajohnny]

do you actually press on the screen or does it just feel like that?

[MyNameIsConnorC]

@meccajohnny you actually press the screen. it has a what you could call "pressure" sensor in each corner allowing for veryy accurate screen

[superjuniorsuper]

is blackberry storm 2 running os 5?

[elibsika]

@superjuniorsuper YES

[ChelseaxLynnTM]

i really love this phone, blackberry has come a long way, the very first one epically sucked... i really love the features on this, they're unique. love the clicking noises, just seems practical :)

[lionzion22]

Jon, future reference, please show the normal qwerty keyboard in portrait so people know this is there. You have two keyboard options in portrait.

[sookster54]

Never really liked the Storm, and I don't like the portrait keyboard that's alot like the Pearl's keyboard (I own a Pearl 8230 so I know what it's like and I disabled SupreType).

I'm hoping the Storm 3 with BB OS 6 will be an imporvement and step up there with the Android 2.x and iPhone world.

[hummerbr4]

That's such a fucking fag test sentence

[banrnon]

is there any way to get individual letters in portrait?

[lilbabyphat0408]

im getting this phone tomorrow :)

[d416block]

iphone is better

[Webpenguin22]

I have the enV2 by LG Verizon and I really like it but I want the Storm but I also have the iPhone 3GS (Dad got it for my for my bday last year). I still want to keep a keyboard with buttons.... do you have any suggestions? They have to be verizon and under 150.00$ .... if you do have any suggestions message me or leave a comment on my page if you have time... thanks!

[Gusohyeah111]

@Webpenguin22 why dnt u sell the env2 nd iphone nd get the droid? or droid x or the bb storm 1 or 2?

[Webpenguin22]

@Gusohyeah111 thanks thats a good idea. . . i was thinking about it but i think im just gunna keep the env2 sell the iphone and my nano and get an ipod touch . . . im not really sure about it though . . .

[Gusohyeah111]

@Webpenguin22 i hve an ipod touch, its cool

[Gusohyeah111]

@Webpenguin22 i want ur iphone :D

[tuan1is1azn]

At this point I don't know why you would get this over the droid. Since both devices are on verizon wireless.  At least until the iphone 4g comes out.

[Person2347]

Is ther vibration feedback on this smartphone?

[AtAvAnHaLeN23]

this phone got boring after a month. i dont recommend...

[AsianboiiiSD]

@AtAvAnHaLeN23 lol its not like people spend their whole life on the phone.

[nickisamazing1]

the iphone has the best touch keyboard and screen

[23nightmare23]

hey i have a question can u have a normal full qwerty keyboard when not in landscape mode? i really dont like the 2 letter per key keyboard

[carvla]

@23nightmare23 yes there's a full querty in portrait

[iBeMagzii]

yes u can just turn the phone the other way

[aubinhick91490]

@23nightmare23 Yes you can

[yellowrockingbell]

@23nightmare23 yes you can haha

[FreckledFilms]

@23nightmare23 you could change the it in the settings

[jerseywhore]

yeah u have to press the blackberry button on the bottom and it says it in the options...

[andipandi713]

@23nightmare23 Yea you can configure that

[Chill48ily]

@23nightmare23 yeah, go to the blackberry button and it should be there

[shaimaynor00]

@23nightmare23 yes, but the words are pretty small...ii have storm 1, the phone companyy is mailin' me storm 2..

[89CRAZYCRAZY]

@23nightmare23 yessur

[cookiemonster307]

@23nightmare23  yes you can. if you have the 5.0 software.

[camerongoll]

@23nightmare23 no due to the width of the screen the keyboard length is limited, well maybe there is a way to customize the settings but the keys will be to small.

[missmeganannx123]

@23nightmare23 THESE PEOPLE ARE DUMB AS SHIT. I HAVE THIS PHONE. YOU CAN CHANGE THE KEYBOARD!!! you can do the three letter, keep it two letter, AND do qwerty keyboard. I PROMISEE! i have it as qwerty. so everyone else just stfu.

[234cruzer]

@23nightmare23 Yes, just hit the bb button on the bottom scroll down and go to options or there should be a option when your in the bb menu try it.

[cucuy818]

@23nightmare23 yes

[appaino]

Thank you!

[killersquirrel122]

get the storm 2 thee droids real keyboard suck big nuts its to flat also the camera is to slow on the roid

[tony2timekilla]

how is the battery life on the strom 2?

[tcepsusredruma]

@tony2timekilla doing what exactly? its about 5 hours of constant talk time. and it lasts me the full day of use with a fair amount left over with normal use. but then again you have to make sure background programs arent sucking your battery power. and wifi needs to be off when not in use because it sucks battery down FAST

[darrellmusic]

THANX SOOO MUCH!!! I COULDNT MAKE MY MIND UP FOR A MONTH NOW lol im goin with the blackberry tanks

[darrellmusic]

wich is the best for mobile i.m i need it to b fast wich would u say would b the fastest for i.m thanx

[darrellmusic]

[VendettaSLPK]

I really hope you decided to go with the Storm 2 its such an amazing phone.

[darrellmusic]

actually i made my choice on the storm b/c i played with the droid its AUSOME BETTER THAN IPHONE but im a major texter and mobile i.m person nd the texting was not the best 4 me browser not important 4 me soo goin with the storm 2

[BURNTHESINS]

droid, this thing sucks!!

[Davidlovesmac]

so does ur mother

[stevarachi]

Yeah the Storm 2 has a full qwerty keyboard in portrait. I dunno why Jon wouldn't show or say it.

[oblivion676]

does the storm 2 have a portrait qwerty keyboard or not?

[harry8856]

yea

[MiLeYjBfAnN22]

what is that on the top of the phone that says LHICFPTP?

[vasquez4553]

still a piece of shit compared to the iphone. but its a good phone

[Corbleft4]

thats just pure ignorance how is the iphone better compared to this one i had an iphone and the screen isnt even as accurate at this phone and iphone is only really for people who are wanting it for media purposes also the phone is always lacking in features they just came out with MMS really? took them 3 gens just to allow this

[seriusjoEE]

@Corbleft4 i think youre confused.

[kalijasin]

@Corbleft4 because black berry listen to the of its consumers and really tries to correct things, unlike apple which is just concerned with branding, image, and marketing.

[weaslepopper]

Word to the wise,if you have a Storm 1,don't update it yet.I have found that while the scrolling might seem nice,and the maps feature pretty much eliminates the need for VZ Navigator,my battery drains unbelievably fast now,even when it's locked and the screen isn't on.Hopefully they can make a new update to fix this problem

[Mikkapple]

I like the black and blue keys

[2cutecarla]

i think the blackberry 2 would be fun.

its fun to press buttons!

[gomokat]

lol

[2Lazy2SignUp]

after updating my blackberry OS, I'd like to see the storm I against the storm 2 in terms of functionality. I really like the face of the storm 2 because the front looks more sleek. The buttons are integrated and don't look like "buttons" like with the storm I.

[tutorialconr]

The Storm I should be called "Storm Beta"...This the final product :D

[nate862554]

Blackberry fucked themselves over when they came out with the blackberry storm, it was a distaster! I had it for 28 days and was completely sick of it..then this one came around...and i love blackberry now! This phone is beast and i like it more then the iphone, Please make more apps for this phone!!

[todwcampbell]

This phones greatesassset is the sure press technology. I have the storm 1 and really like it. the new version seems much better. With the bugs removed from this new phone this phone should be a great alternative to a normal blackberry or other touch screen phones. Nice well done review.

[estradanick94]

sweet i want 1

[rinkerall]

i want this

[geedunk13]

[Flakita4never]

[muneerkhan7]

[akarai1]

[jrcdab]

[jzaga053]

[majinvegeta1234]

FTW!!!!!

[jBEAST875]

biznass lol

[hamburglerz77]

I have the Maroon Verizon LG VX9100 enV2 with 2.0 Megapixel digital camera and 2GB memory card. Its my first cell phone and free that was given to me by my father in-law used so he could upgrade to the newer LG enV3 VX9200. I really like it and I get to play Peggle one of my favorite games ever on it. I wanted the BlackBerry Storm but now the enV2 is all I need for now.

[littleweapon12]

i care?

[hamburglerz77]

You must if you had to take the time to ask.

[masteRuffus]

fix the website lazy black haired guy with ps3 ...

[BLZR52]

Awesome video Jon :)

[Falcons7m11]

nice video

[dedicke08]

thanks for the review.

I've been waiting to hear what the keyboard is like, now I might actually get one.

[rickgcook]

u tha man jon

[iRockIshVids]

Nice video

[CommonDreads]

Hope you get a Droid soon!

[TheJackKuz]

thought you were smart jon. but you can't even spell test

[kickit246]

may have done it on purpose to show the spell correction

[tahnolikessharing]

I have the first generation Blackberry Storm, and updated the software to the same version the second generation uses. Comparatively the new software is much smoother, fast, and accurate! I'm actually addicted to the device now more than ever.

The only thing I hope and pray RIM improves is the web browser. They should include Flash capabilities, and full html all the time. And a better equivilant to Itunes, I would like to be able to download movies without having to do it on my pc.

[BHC958]

did your email settings reset or have problems with it? I updated and my email became screwed up.

[CarbonFiIms]

bizzzzness

[gmanist1000]

I like it

[thatpartylastnigh]

5 stars for bizznassss!!

[BlueLigerStrife]

i like the lil clicks

[MacFadden01]

haha 2:57!!!

The way he said business was like he was trying to be black or something, "links all that bizznaasss!"

Haha Jon, another great video thanks.

[b00nsmoviesss]

i think storm sucks!!

[osamaFXX]

And iPhone ROCKS !!!

[Techvlogs]

sorry blackberry but the iphone had one of the greatest touch screen in history

kayne west

[b00nsmoviesss]

INDEED

[pikailucky]

whats better, the iphone or the storm 2?

[linnjones]

I don`t se my self whit another phone then the iPhone but if I would, I think a Blackberry would be the one for me.

[GameFreaks360]

jon what camera do you use to record your video

[kaffeeschluerfer91]

oh... it has a landscape keyboard too, then it's okay :D

[kaffeeschluerfer91]

the iPhone's keyboard is so much better...

[karandex]

sooooo much better

cant touch blackberry after that

[TheSuperProfessional]

I really REALLY want to get this phone, but you have to pay that stupid extra $30 a month plan...

[bsmith8998]

Thats how I am about the iphone....it's retarted.

[itunesmastr]

lol bis-nass

[DaytimeElk]

i haven't yet seen a phone that i would take over iPhone but Storm2 is very close...

[PleaseDontFeedDGK]

nice

[englishtwist]

I may have to check this phone out and compare it to the first series. Thanks for all the useful reviews Jon. You make it that must easier, because of your reviews, for your viewers to make those final decisions when it comes to their gadget buying experiences.

[AlphaBettaFilms]

Nice!

[JOKERGOMEZ81]

I hate keyboard on the old one, this one looks almost the same, I hate the click. whats the point?

[jdiddy27]

awesome review jon ! but ill stick with iphone just like u, lol

[JustForFun248]

mabe you should watch the video first ? Instead of trying to get the first comment

[jdiddy27]

i did watch the whole video, whats your anger anyway, you should be bothering the ones that have worthless comments. for instance:

"First !"

???

[JOKERGOMEZ81]

I never understood the "first" comment, why do people do it?

[jdiddy27]

They have no life man.. this comment competition..lol

[JustForFun248]

Sorry , Wrong person . I apologise,
