The Blackberry Strom 2 does s have the surepress technology . They improved it by placing 4 pizo electric sensors underneath the screen . The original had only one in the middle . You dont have to press as much as you did on the first strom thats why it does fleel like your pressing as much .

I got the new Storm 2 today and I must say that I LOVE it!! I was skeptical at first because I had such high hopes for the original Storm but after fooling around with it decided to just stick it out with my BB Curve til something better came along. I was glad I waited. Everything I didn’t like about the original Storm is now not an issue with the Storm 2. It is very responsive and easy to use. It’s got a great camera and camcorder (I don’t think the Iphone has a camcorder), it now has Wi-Fi, and it’s on a 3G network that is better than AT&T. Even my friends who have the Iphone and subscribe to AT&T wishes their coverage was better. They complain about getting lots of dropped calls. It seems the only thing good about AT&T is the Iphone. Before I looked into the Storm 2, I was going to cancel my account with Verizon and get the Iphone with AT&T but since their network is not as good as Verizon’s, what good is having the Iphone if I get dropped calls all the time? The Storm 2 gives me the best of both worlds. I’m sooooo glad I waited for the Storm 2!!!

I’ve had the blackberry storm a little over a month. Seemed ok as a rule. However I loaded there ( new & improved ) updates they say is great for you.. BIG MISTAKE. My pictures were all re sized and would not fit for wallpaper any more. I had to re fix ALL my apps I loaded and Ive had a LOT of trouble with my email. In fact after 2 days its still not working. Very upset with verizon. They didn’t seem to be to worried about my trouble and just said well thats the way these things go sometimes. Well thanks for nothing. Ive made my mind up that Im NOT going to deal with a 3rd day of this. I’m getting my envy back on line tomorrow. Its not just the email issue. I dont believe the bugs are worked out yet and thats alot of money out of YOUR pocket untill they do. They dont seem to care about your issues once your 30 days are up and they have your money. I’m just saying if you think this phone is for you do yourself a favor and do more reserch then I did. There “updates” have caused me nothing but grief..

From Engadget: Surepress is here to stay!!!!

In a scandalous, but not entirely shocking turn of events, RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis has declared from the stage of D7 in no uncertain terms that “SurePress is here to stay.” The trouble is, there’s no clarification of what he means by that, since the Storm 2 we’ve been toying with quite obviously lacks a click-screen mechanism. Our best shot-in-the-dark guess is that RIM has developed some alternative to a physical click that may or may not duplicate the functionality adequately, while hopefully removing some of the frustration experienced by the physical click of the Storm. What is clear is that apparently whatever face-saving technology that turns out to be, Mike and co. plan on calling it SurePress.

If you don’t like it, ignore it. Let it go. Keep your posts relevant to the topic, not going back and forth.

For my take on the topic…I say let the Storm 2 come out. People will have a choice of getting the 1 or 2 for a while, depending on their like or dislike. It just expands the options for the consumer of what they’re more comfortable with. OS will still be upgraded for either one, fixing bugs and expanding RIMs market.

I personally think it will have some tactile feedback options that will make it considerable or desirable for the same business users they have. It’s still ‘beta’ and not final. The only thing I want them to fix is the app memory available. I can’t stand losing email messages because of a couple new apps taking up that memory space. Grr.
