BlackBerry Storm 2: the official unofficial hands-on

Wirelessly posted (Storm 9530)

To get or not to get. That is the question, lol. Can't wait till it drops, so I can get my hands on it and play.

Don't get me wrong I will pick one up and mess with it and see it it will work for me, but if not.....hello physical keyboard again.

Welcome del bob to BBOS. And yes that torx driver works magic :)

wow missed quite a bit today. Sleeping days working nights... Thanks to everyone for your insight. I will be going with the tour for the remainder of my contract and will be watching the progression of the s2 very closely.

Man this is killing me, I really want this phone. Hope it will be worth all the hype.

Yeah sm...I would consider the tour, if it had the optical trakpad like the Gemini, I might be sold. Having said all that...I'm in on the S2 no matter what. Might have to have both.....OBD starting to creep in....

Here is another image that gives a great view of the entire front side being part of sure press.

yeah I agree. The Tour is on my mind 2. I'm up for the free upgrade, so I am stuck with what to do. I miss having a keyboard, but the full screen is nice to have. I'll just have to wait for the Storm 2 to come out at a later time to make my decision.......which will be about 5+months.

LOOKS LIKE...I maybe crazy...:alcoholic::Eyecrazy:that part of the "agreement" is highlighted in the picture? Does that means it is "functioning" vs the other hands on we have seen out there, where they couldn't get past the OK and into the final loading of the OS

Nope that is the same start up screen no one could get past, at least without the right OS.
