Do I want the Storm 2 or the Tour?

ilovemileyyy · Thread Author #1 07-02-2009, 09:27 AM

I figured I would ask in a forum I've never ventured into! I was planning on getting the Tour, until I remembered the Storm 2! The Storm, with it's sexy looks is what made me want a BB in the first place. But because I was on Sprint, I settled for the Curve. Do you guys think that the Storm 2 will come to Sprint shortly after it launches on Verizon, whenever that may be? And also, I really like the touch screen factor, but not so much the Sure Press, although it is not a deal breaker. Will the Storm 2 feature Sure Press? I use my phone mostly for texting, a lot. Music, Sprint TV, email, pictures, and some third party apps.

I would go with the Tour. I have the Bold and it is just a great device. Based on the things you noted you use your phone for, I think you will really like the Tour.

Also, since Verizon had an exclusive to the Storm, I wouldn't count on the new model coming to Sprint.

You simply can't beat the large screen on the Storm, but I don't think it will come to sprint. Once the phones get paired up to an exclusive provider, they're not to quick to change. You could always buy one and have it unlocked. It will likely be November or later before it actually hits the market. If you can't wait, get the Tour.

Have you played with a Storm? If not then I would go to a local Verizon and mess round with one. And if you like it, you can wait for the second Storm. I have heard nothing but good coming from the Storm 2. Also if you wait to play with the Storm til the Tour is released. You can see if you actually want the Tour.

If you have nails you will have issues with the storm period. It doens't recognize nail only heat from the finger. It'd have to be a major improvement over the storm for me to want to even try one again.

Storm2 Should be a great device, with a predicted release in October.

However, I don't see this phone coming to Sprint, so in your case i'd probably stick to the Tour.

Sorry to burst any hope man! lol

BUT! The tour is a great device too. I thought it was the sexiest thing since Megan Fox until I saw it next to the Onyx.. I just jizzed.. YouTube - Jizz In My Pants

go with the tour. a bit more compact, tactile keypad, you can text and drive easily!

as an owner of the storm, im quite disappointed with its touch screen issues as well as other pertinent flaws.

"texting a lot" = get the Tour.

The Tour and the Storm are almost identical in size, with the Storm being a bit thinner. The Tour is a helluva lot lighter, though.

Sprint isn't getting the Storm 2, but they will have their own Touchscreen BlackBerry in the future. Get the Tour for now, or you could wait for the Curve replacement.

Not totally true... anyone that knows me knows I text and bbm a LOT on my Storm...
Could I be quicker on a Tour? Prolly... but you can be pretty proficient with the Storm...

As far as Storm 2 or Tour?
If you want a touchscreen phone... wait for the Storm 2... if you want a real keyboard... get the Tour... it's that simple...
I'll be waiting for the Storm 2...

This is my plan. I have a storm. I am eligible for upgrade so I will be getting the Tour. And when or if the Storm 2 comes out I will sale both my Storm and Tour and between the two I would guess I'd get atleast 400 and with all the BB retails averaging under 500 ill just make the difference up and get it!
