The Blackberry Torch 9800, a sleek slider with both a touchscreen and a full keyboard, is the first device to come loaded with RIM’s revamped BlackBerry 6 OS. But one interesting bit from the press release suggests that BlackBerry’s older touchscreen devices won’t get the update:
Hey guys and gals, we just got a BlackBerry Storm 2 loaner — and an explanation for the delay. Still interested in a review?
As this spy shot confirms, Blackberry Storm 2 dummy units have started to arrive on Best Buy shelves — and word is that Verizon has received them as well. In other words, the launch is imminent.
We weren’t able to bring you guys a kickass, timely BlackBerry Storm 2 review like we wanted—and we’re sorry about that. Check out a roundup of other reviews below; it’s the least we can do.
After showing us how much snappier the Storm 2 is to use, CrackBerry master, Alejandro Salomon, has shot this new video detailing that it’s also better-looking, includes Wi-Fi, has more free RAM and built-in memory, and boasts a better camera.
It was that or “The ‘Smartest Cover’ Is Dimpled For Your Pleasure,” so consider yourselves lucky. Anyway, this thing: it adds tactile feedback to your touchscreen phone by means of little tiny transparent lumps. This might be stupid. Or genius.
