Can we hope that storm 2 iwill be with a side sliding keyboard,?

You can hope that.....

If you really want a phone with a touch screen and a slide out keyboard, there are a ton of HTC's that are like that. The Storm with a slide out keyboard would make it heavier than it already is, as well as thicker. Thumbs down in my opinion.

Can I ask why you would want that?

Well i love the Storm screen Size for media , and i really missed my Curve Keyboard ... that can be the perfect BB for a lot of people i guess ...

noooo i hate touchscreen phones WITH keyboard.
in my opinion they should just improve the surepress technology and go for a full touchscreen blackberry WITHOUT a keyboard.

The phone is big and heavy enough IMO, so no for me

There is no way that they can get it to stay even close to the same dimensions and weight if they were to add a keyboard.

Its a give and take thing. Ill take the phone how it is, with all of its ups and downs I would hate it to be larger and heavier. If you pick up a 8900, which is pretty much the same size and compare weight, you will see how heavy the Storm already is. Add sliding mechanisms and a keypad and uh oh....

Plus that is just more hardware to fail as it always will with "fancy" moving phones like that.

I think that RIM should have an option in screen/keyboard settings to disable the surepress because I HATE it

A slider is just something to wear out faster. They could keep the same dimensions but would likely have to probably forgo the surepress screen for a fixed screen. It would also be a slight sacrifice of the quality of the product to add in a slider I feel. But you never know they could surprise us. To the poster that stated that there are plenty of HTC touches out there that have a slide out keyboard the issue with the touch is IT IS A WINMO DEVICE.

I agree! I do not want a slide out keyboard.
