I Saw, And Played With, Storm 2!
- And I got to play with it for a minute or two.
Storm 2.
I work as a utility IT coordinator so I get to deal with a lot of utilities. Had a large group of utility people come in today. One or them that I talk to a lot had the new Storm 2 as a Verizon demo. He got it late last week.
He doesn't like it and neither did I. Too much like the original and too much like every other BB out there. Felt heavy but cheap.
But it had something I was told it wouldn't have. Yes, it had wifi. He said battery life isn't good and wifi isn't strong. He did say that most Verizon centers have demo units to play with and that this was the final version. Their units from just a few weeks ago did not have functioning wifi. Should be out in just a couple weeks with 5.0
After the meeting, tried to call Tdad and had to leave a message to find out what he knew. Not heard back yet, so we will see.
So yes, it has wifi. I still don't want one. Better phones out there and on the way. But for you wifi nuts who are stuck on BB instead of the good stuff, you may now rejoice. It isn't official, but it will be real soon on Verizon.

- I agree as well. Just like movie critics....I don't use their judgment to decide if I am going to check out a movie or not. I am my own person and I like to make my decisions.
I am glad you got to see and play with the S2, your opinions and observations are dully noted and filed away.
I will wait to make my own assement after my own hands on review....because really when it comes down to it my decision is the only one that matters...for me.09-28-09 08:55 PMLike 0 - And I got to play with it for a minute or two.

For the rest of you, I didn't write this as a review. I wrote as confirmation of wifi. I feel sorry for most people who aspire to a BB already. Some people have valid reasons for a BB, but most are ignorant to what is real and what isn't. I don't want to take the time to educate you or fix your poor taste. I will leave that to others.

- Funny - I was thinking the same thing. Maybe not lovers - but proverbially 'in bed' together.
Imho - very humble, at that seems very troll like how this posting followed the other discussion.
Quite frankly these guys are beginning to sound less and less trustworthy.
Love WinMo, or Symbian? Well me too (well, at least flash support)! But -be a fan - not a fanboy.09-29-09 01:43 PMLike 0 - Caps lock and cursing no better way to look ignorant. There are forums on here that talk about the iphone as well as palm and windows mobile. He was comparing as far as I can tell....09-29-09 02:17 PMLike 0

- do people really expect a near identical phone with the same chipset (supposedly) and a near identical os to be much different? What exactly was everyone hoping for?
New click
More memory
Wifi
those are the differences. Once 5.0 drops officially, all new blackberries will perform VERY similarly. Other than form factor there will be little difference from one BB to the next.09-29-09 03:50 PMLike 0 - And I got to play with it for a minute or two.
