Default weight of storm 2

Ok, so i have a curve 8900 and a hijacked storm for my ATT service. Will the Storm 2 weigh 10lbs just like the 1st one. I mean seriously can they make it weight a hair less than an acme brick. And does anyone know if the visual voicemail will work on this one if its hijacked to a different service? Thanks.,

I agree completely. After all, you're not talking about a laptop that you're lugging around. Naturally, as is the case with all else, this is going to be a matter of personal preference...which i can certainly understand. Still, weight between devices has to be, what, a few ounces? With all the issues that plagued S1 from release, it's difficult to believe this would be "this" would be a sticking point.

I want mines to be heavy. That way if I am out in the city (Baltimore City) and I'm about to get jumped, I can take my sock off and put the storm 2 in it and use it as a mace. LOL

Thanks to Kevin for the weigh in!
The Storm is only about 10 grams heavier than the IPhone which is about the weight of two quarters.
I can live with that!
And the difference in the Tour and the Storm is about the same 10-20 grams, so either one is to the heavier side but no worse than my 8830.
Works for me!

I actually like the fact the Storm is heavier. I switched back to the Storm from the Tour because the Tour felt cheap and I think the storm feels more solid. I like the heavier phones, I hope the Storm2 is just as heavy.

I'm confused . I read this on the homepage today:

The original BlackBerry Storm 9530/9500 is a hefty device, so many have been hoping that the Storm 9550/9520 would weigh (a lot) less. The scale doesn't lie though, and by the looks of things the new Storm is just as heavy -- maybe even heavier by a gram or two

Unless the scale is the blog article is wrong, the Bold is actually lighter.
