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.
It’s pretty early hardware and earlier software, but the guys at CrackBerry somehow got themselves a Storm 2 to play with. First question: Yes, it still has a clickable screen, but it’s allegedly much better than its predecessor.
Additional BlackBerry Storm 2 rumours out this morning would appear to all but confirm our earlier belief earlier that the soon-to-be-released smartphone is ditching the problematic click touchscreen, and will add some much-desired wi-fi goodness.
Verizon is preparing their sales people against the Palm Pre launch, with a detailed feature by feature comparison with the Blackberry Storm. Of course, according to Verizon, the Storm wins (against the iPhone too.) Obviously, they didn’t read Matt’s review.

Boy Genius rolls up Verizon’s entire lineup of new BlackBerrys, but the most interesting point confirms what I suspected when I saw the Storm 2 shots yesterday: The Storm’s clicky screen is gone.
They appear to be taken by the same person, at the same time, as the last shots we found, though now we’ve got a little peek under the battery lid and a few more angles.
