Default OpenGL on Storm 9530?

Why is there an OpenGL Need for Speed game for the Storm 2 but not the Storm 1?

WHY OH WHY OH WHY can we not have applications and games offloaded onto the memory card? Until and unless we get this the Storm will never be able to compare to the iPhone.

Because the Storm 2 has twice as much memory than Storm 1. This is one of the requirements for Open GL.

Trust me, that's not the only reason!

When RIM announced that OpenGL would be available many months ago, they emphasized that the Storm2 and FUTURE devices would support it. This means that the Storm will not get this functionality.
