The RIM BlackBerry Storm 2 adds Wi-Fi, more memory, and an updated operating system that brings a number of feature and user interface enhancements. The revamped SurePress touch screen allows for more precision, key rollover, and limited multitouch capabilities.The Storm 2 offers a revamped SurePress touch screen that, coupled with the updated BlackBerry operating system, provides a better user experience. You also get Wi-Fi, double the memory, enhancements to the smartphone's core functions, and a more stable system. The Storm2 looks a little sleeker and more refined. Essentially, it consists of fewer moving parts. The Storm2 measures 4.4 by 2.4 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.6 ounces. It's heavier than the HTC Imagio, our current Editors' Choice, even though the Storm2 has a smaller screen and no mobile TV tuner or kickstand. Touch keys on the top edge handle power, ringer mute, and screen lock functions. Other shortcut and volume buttons are now rubberized. The Storm2 is still mostly black, although RIM darkened the chrome accents. The brushed aluminum back panel feels classy, and remains as before with the exception of the speakerphone (more on that in a moment).
