Hands-On Look At the BlackBerry Storm 2
Barence writes "PC Pro has had time to play with the new BlackBerry Storm 2, and came away impressed. The new touch system garners the most praise, doing away with the mechanical click screen of the original Storm — the new screen gives a kind of localised haptic feedback which 'feels just like clicking a button.' The phone, announced today, also includes Wi-Fi, BlackBerry OS 5, and increased storage, so it's looking an enticing prospect. After the disappointment of the Palm Pre, could this be the smartphone to beat?"
Love the Pre, but seriously when provided by Sprint you have to hack it in order to enable tethering. Also you have to hack it if you unsubscribe in order to use the wifi. Will the hacking of Pre become greater than the hacking of IPhone? For Linux users Pre is more of a slam dunk....
Yeah, it'd be great if companies and more so, the press, could stop thinking in terms of a __________ killer! Nothing is so wrong with the iPHone that it needs to be "beat" or "killed" or "maimed" or anything else. I'm not pandering or trolling for the "can't we all just get along" people. If your main focus is always the other guy then how can you improve yourself? OK take a measurement now and then but gosh you have to do the work to win. This much is obvious ... but what's not obvious is for RIM or PALM to win, Apple need not lose.
