Not so sure the whole "lightening strikes twice" theme is the way to go with the Storm, since so many original Storm users feel like they grabbed a lightning rod in a storm with the first edition. But people who like Blackberry are almost as crazy loyal as Apple fans, so there are probably a few that didn't get burned the first time willing to go grab the lightning rod in a storm again.

I have the first one, and I just tried the Storm2 in the store, and it seems like the screen is EXACTLY the same and just as bad as the first.
As far as I can tell this is the same phone with more ram, wifi, and a MORE annoying screen that covers the extra keys at the bottom.

I played with the storm 2 today and it is JUST AS BAD as the first. Let me clarify that I am not just taking a crack at the device. I wanted to love it.
I spent 5 minutes with and and the fact that the screen still depress nearly 1/2 a millimeter every time you want to trigger a character or press a button is annoying. This coupled with the mechanical clicking noise (not from a speaker but from the mechanics of the screen pressing a button) is painful. It would make the same sound if you removed the speaker - its mechanics)
Sorry - just being honest but I don't need a screen to depress and click to let me know I made an entry. I have tactile nerve endings on the tips of my fingers. I now if I am in contact with a surface.

Im sure there are improvements. WIFI is nice and the predictive typing has improved, but still WEIRD!
