    I got my S2 in the mail today about 2:00. It took me about 30 minutes to get used to the surepress input method (never used it before).

    The phone absolutely rocks. The only issue I am having is if I push to far in the corner of the TALK button, I get no response from the screen. I can live with that as I just learned to push the middle of the button

    Yeah my WiFi doesn't work for BBM or email, but it's already been diagnosed as to why and looke like we have to sit and wait for the provisioning to be fixed.

    Other than that......this phone is amazing!!! First touch screen and I'm loving it. I type way way way faster on this thing than I did on my Bold.

    Sorry for all you guys unhappy with it. I guess there will always be people unhappy with devices.

    Ditto! I gotta agree with you- I type faster on the Storm 2 than any other blackberry I ever had. I found when I first started using it (coming from the original Storm) I was trying to push too hard actually. But I caught on fast and am rocking it now!

    Dude don't sit and wait on that. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. The more people that call and harass them about it the faster they will find that check box to activate it.

    Don't take this as me bashing the phone at all. I love my blackberry's.(yes I have more than one.)

    I'm not going to waste my time complaining, lol. I don't ever use the WiFi, so it doesn't matter to me. I'll let you guys hang out all day on the phone though and see what they come up with. I'm sure it's just a provisioning issue that can be fixed with a Service Book update.

    edit: Yeah, my green button is getting better as I use it more too.

    Picky people and probably trolls that don't even have the phone. The same people who cried blasphemy when their Storm 1 got a piece of lint under the corner of the screen.

    RIM is working the problem, I assure you. I just spent an hour on the phone with them creating debugging logs of the issue for their engineers to review.

    Has anyone else noticed that while your typing, if you hit the letter key too hard(or holding it maybe too long) it capitilizes the letter automatically.

    I have seen my letter look like this -> like i waS saYing it juSt capitiliZes them.

    Just curious?

    You need to adjust your keyrate. That is a feature in the OS but your keyrate controls how fast it happens.

    storm1 with os .328 is light years ahead of .148 and storm2 is awesome right out of the gate. So if the storm2 is this good now just wait a few months for them to improve it even more.

    Try pushing the bottom icon keys slightly above and center of each icon, that seems to work for me every time.

    I have to say that I love my Storm2 as well. Yeah the wifi isn't working but its such a battery killer so I just turned it off.

    My bottom keys work great. My only gripe is the battery cover. Mine is so hard to get off (to me) but my husband can get it off with no problems.

    I also notice that I type faster or just as fast as I would on a phone with a physical keyboard. I loved my 8900 though. Oh and my multi-touch works great too.

    Overall I'd give the phone a 9/10 because there are some issues that have been mentioned numerous times that need to be worked out.

    I agree. I have a hard time with the battery cover too. I would like to have the wifi working for email and BBM and will call Verizon to report this but it's not something I need right away.

    I would give the phone 9/10 too...The typing is like night and day compared to the Storm 1.

    My WiFi seems to be working fine. I have both my home and work set up. I got into work this morning and figured I would have to hit connect and I looked and it was already connected--yes white not grey.

    I agree coming from the Storm 9530 I adjusted very quickly to the different feel of this screen.

    Overall no issues and definitely enjoying the Storm 2.
