Thread: how much faster is Storm 2 over storm1?

Hi all how much faster and better is the new storm comparied to the old one. I had a old one and upgraded to the droid yesterday. I'm not feeling the love with the way the calendar on droid works, I can't get it anywhere close to the way the storm works. I am thinking about taking the droid back and getting the storm 2? Any thoughts?

IMO the Storm1 was worthless. I had the S1 the day it came out and at that time I was in love with it and always suggested to anyone to get it. Then the S2 came out and let me tell you WHAT a difference. Not only was the touchscreen drastically improved but the overall performance is outstanding (Depending on your OS that is). I love the fact that I can load up my device with apps and not having to worry about low memory msgs or big memory leaks. Granted S2 has some memory leaks depending on what you are running but I haven't came across to many. Hope that helps if you have any questions ask away that's what we are here for .

I believe the processor speed is the same but has double the app memory so that speeds it up.

With the release of OS from verizon .607 the battery leaks are non-existant. The app memory is great and comes with a 16 gig micro sd card for music, movies and data. And all the available apps for the storm2 I can't believe I ever used a regular cell phone before. I have only owned the storm 1 and the storm 2 but have tried the Droid in store and have to say I like the typeing on the Storm better. And if Verizon release Push to talk for the Storm 2 and other Blackberries what more is there to say.
Hope this helps.

Faster? I don't think there is a speed difference between S1 & S2. But like others have said the larger amount of memory helps a lot with reducing lag from the S1.
