Chris wrote on mobilewhack.com that Apple is getting ready to launch a new iPhone and RIM’s response seems to be a new BlackBerry Storm. The Storm 2 has been confirmed by Alain Segond von Banchet, RIM’s Channel Sales manager in the Netherlands. The phone should arrive in late 2009 or early 2010. Isn’t that too late? The new handset will launch with KPN which must mean the second Storm won’t be a Vodafone exclusive.
What novelties will the Storm 2 bring us? A new touch input method which should be better than what we’ve seen so far. We’re guessing that other things are also going to be added by RIM because just a new input method will not suffice in this tough business.
The Storm is about the worst piece of garbage that I have ever owned… even worse that original Motorola “Q”… I’ve become adept at performing one handed
soft resets while driving… don’t forget “close”, “close”, “close”… not simply end…
The Storm is simpy an embarrasment to the good name of Blackberry… but what is worse… “WE” get to pay for their (well known) Charlie Foxtrot…
