 As biggest difference to original Storm, successor adds Wi-Fi capability and improves the tactile feedback for its display. The Blackberry Storm2 features a capacitive touch-screen with new Surepress technology that provides tactile feedback when the display is pressed. It is a quad-band GSM and HSPA, with GPS for maps and other location-based applications as mandatory.
The new handset ships with Blackberry OS 5, in which the Blackberry
Browser is improved with faster JavaScript and CSS processing and
support for Google Gears and BlackBerry Widgets. For enterprise
customers, the new Blackberry works with enhanced features in
Blackberry Enterprise Server 5, including the ability to remotely
access Windows file shares, manage Microsoft Exchange email folders
from the Blackberry, and set follow-up flags as users can in Outlook.
If we exclude Wi-Fi and capacitive screen, tech specs are not so new:
Storm2 has 256MB of Flash memory, plus 2GB of storage and a microSD
slot supporting Flash cards up to 16GB. It also has a 3.2-megapixel
camera and a removable 1400mAh battery providing six hours of talk time
on 3G networks and 280 hours on standby, according to RIM.
