    I bought this phone with some skepticism about the touch screen. After just a few hours I felt really comfortable with it. It is a very nice phone, very easy to use, with a great, clear, large screen. You do have to get used to writing on a touch screen - just as if you were buying an iphone.

    the best blackberry touchscreen i have ever used. Frankly speaking i hated storm 9500 because of its mechanical moving screen and absence of wifi, both of which are rectified in storm 2 9550.

    Short extract: On paper the Storm was a success for RIM and Verizon.  In the flesh, not so much.  It was plagued by software issues that were eventually ironed out, but more so by the utter failure of RIM’s SureType technology.  The screen was cumbersome to use, tiring and inaccurate.  An iPhone killer it was most

    Short extract: I will not replace my Blackberry Storm 2 with another Blackberry , though. I am not that happy with its touch screen. I have to re-enter data several times because the touchscreen makes typing difficult for me. I will, instead opt for an android because of the increased capabilities of the droid.

    Short extract: Take the BlackBerry Storm . Now imagine a phone that's basically exactly the same, but does everything better. That's the Storm 2 . It's the same phone, essentially, just refined in nearly every way. It's not the Storm reinvented, it doesn't shoot lasers, and it's not going to kill anything.

    Short extract: When the original BlackBerry Storm came out a year ago, we had great hopes for RIM's first touch screen BlackBerry smartphone . But as with any radically new product, the Storm had its share of bugs (quite a few were fixed in ensuing software updates) and the novel SurePress touch screen that moves...

    Conclusion: Conclusion Take two of the Storm is the real deal: the touch screen works well, the phone has more memory, a new OS and is altogether stable and less buggy than the original Storm.
