The
leaked photo of the
Storm 2's internal board got our juices flowing -- and our curiosity piqued -- but this latest set of photos really takes it up a notch. In addition to showing the rest of the device inside and out, we've got a handful of new pictures showing off that piezoelectronic technology doing its thing. Basically, as we understand it, those four "buttons" which are pictured are more like sensors than buttons. When the device is on, they communicate with the screen, and when it registers enough pressure, the result is the familiar "click" that Storm users know all too well. However, when the device is powered off (or in standby mode we assume), the screen stays put, as there isn't an actual mechanism to move the screen like there was in the original Storm. Of course, we won't know how to judge it until we can actually play with a real live demo unit in the flesh, but you can definitely say that RIM has us interested. At least they weren't lying about that whole '
SurePress is here to stay' thing.

I talked to Ur. He doesn't really like BlackBerry stuff, so he's not too upset.
;)

those look like fsr's more than piezos. its hard to tell from the picture of the one disc being lifted by the index card - is there a second set of sensors underneath?

Any chance I may be allowed to take better photos of this stuff?
Would really like to know more about the CPU / RAM and other stuff...
Seriously, I can take photos :)

Was that sign really that necessary?
