    If RIM was smart they would sell the Storm 2 thru ALL providers and direct since it has world phone capabilities. Also let’s hope RIM learned from the Storm 1 mess (thanks for nothing big red) and that RIM doesn’t cave to service providers demands again on the Storm 2.

      I don’t disagree that a direct to customer model isn’t a bad idea, however, RIM won’t, for the foreseeable future, make the kind of money selling direct to customers that they do selling to phone carriers because the phone carriers subsidize the price of the hardware in exchange for getting customers to sign on the dotted line for multi-year contracts.

    I was going to get the original Storm, then got all excited when I heard about the Storm 2. What a disappointment, there’s hardly any difference between them. I’m an Alltel customer and they’re the *only* ones with a tower in my (small) town. They’ll be completely switched to VZW in September IIRC. I think I’ll hold out and wait to see what Google Android phones they get instead. I’d love something with a 480×800 screen. 360×480 is somewhat painful to view most websites on. I’ll be using the phone more for browsing than email, and every review I’ve found shows that Android beats Blackberry for browsing anyways.

    amazing phone, love my 9550. seems to ge a lot of crap but i like it. processor is faster than my old phone. screen is a lot more responsive than the first storm. i really like my unlocked gsm phones. the gps and maps are great for my business, and the email helps me keep in touch with all my clients. the family likes theirs for the facebook and games on long trips, and my partner likes his to help him keep up with his fantasy football team. camera is much better, takes better picutres. much better than our old unlocked htc phones. the speaker phone is loud enough for me to use in the car and the web browsing is really conveneient i can check my stocks in less than 3 seconds. we also got our htc unlock codes and blackberry unlock codes free! which was nice. got them at unlockthatphone.com 2 thumbs way up so far on my new 9550′s.
