BlackBerry Storm 2 Live! Well, It’s Thinner

blackberry-storm-2-1Is it the perfect Storm? CrackBerry recently posted shots of what’s purported to be the sequel to the smart phone you either love or hate. Based on the photos of the Storm 2, it certainly looks slimmer than the original, and it appears as though the physical buttons along the bottom are now touch sensitive.The only other feature you can make out from the pics is a 3.2-MP camera We’ve already heard that this device will rock Wi-Fi, but the biggest question I have is how much work RIM has done to improve the touchscreen/typing experience. I’m guessing we won’t see the Storm 2 until the Fall, and by then both the Pre and (I’m guessing) the next-gen iPhone will be on shelves. Will this follow-up make serious waves or be as exciting a sequel as the Samsung Instinct S30? Time will tell.
