The BlackBerry Storm2 is RIM's second full-touchscreen smartphone. Unlike the original Storm, the Storm2 features Wi-Fi as well as a redesigned outer shell.
The device code is 9520 for the GSM/UMTS/HSPA model offered by Vodafone and 9550 for the CDMA/EV-DO and UMTS/HSPA model offered by Verizon. The Storm2 comes with 2 GB of on-board flash memory 1GB more than the original and is sold with a 16GB microSD card included. The phone has been a reasonable commercial success despite voice loss/drop calls complaints by some users.
Research in Motion recently released specifications on the phone, reporting that 256 MB of RAM will be available for applications, doubling that of the original Storm. One major change is that the method of input, SurePress, has been redesigned. Instead of one physical button that lies in the direct center of the screen, the Storm 2 has four piezoelectric sensors located on the four outer corners of the screen that will allow for confirmation of input. The screen, reportedly, does not depress when the device is locked or off.
The BlackBerry Storm2 by default is SIM locked, and can be subsequently unlocked on both the 9520 and 9550 to use on any GSM network if the code is obtained from the respective provider. The Blackberry Storm 2 is available in Canada with Telus. The Blackberry Storm 2 is available in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa and the United Kingdom with Vodafone. The Blackberry Storm 2 is available in Malaysia with Celcom and Maxis Communications. The Blackberry Storm 2 is available in the United States with Verizon Wireless. The Blackberry Storm 2 is available in the United Kingdom with T-Mobile.
