My first day with the Blackberry Storm 2
It looks solid and feels heavy. Those were my first impressions when I took the Storm2 out of its box. It has a nice metal feel to it. And is this touchscreen weird or what. That was my second impression. It is unlike any other touchscreen I have experienced. Typing on it feels nearly like typing on a real keypad. If that was RIM’s intention then they have succeeded. Am actually typing this post on the device. Going slowly and probably pressing harder than I need to. Think in time I will be able to type fast on it, faster than on my Hero with its capacitive screen. Mostly because I think the Storm2′s SurePress screen will result in fewer typing errors.
The battery didn’t quite make it through the first day. Only 1400mAh. What was the RIM engineers thinking. Had to resort to a few power saving tricks like turning the backlight right down, switching 3g off and so on. Hopefully the battery will get better after a few overnight charges. Otherwise Seidio has a 1600mAh battery….
