If it does in fact correct all of the original's problems then it will get credit. It'd be dumb to assume it does though, and I'd be much more upset with Engadget for doing that. You can go to a site like crackberry if you just want to be told everything Blackberry does is good.

I used to think the same thing. Your brain gets used to a keyboard where you can't feel the buttons just as easy. I can type on the storm with only a couple glances on the tougher words.

Also, just like to second that 5.0 is an awesome os. I didn't start using the storm until the 5 beta, so I honestly have no idea what people's problems are with the storm...it works great for me. I know a lot of people got burned, but that's not the case anymore.]]>Oct 29th 2009 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/Oct 29th 2009 12:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/Oct 29th 2009 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/Oct 29th 2009 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/Oct 29th 2009 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/Oct 29th 2009 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/Oct 29th 2009 1:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/Oct 29th 2009 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/Um, no one says that.

I tried it out when it was released and I was literally laughing out loud within about 20 seconds of using it. It was truly, truly, terrible. One of the least enjoyable devices I've ever held in my hands. When you're used to the responsiveness and accuracy of the touchscreen found on the iPhone, the Storm feels like something created 10 years ago.

I'm a gadget fan, not a fan of any one brand, and I enjoy any piece of technology that's fun to use. The Storm was NOT that.]]>Oct 29th 2009 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/Oct 29th 2009 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/Oct 29th 2009 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/Oct 29th 2009 2:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/
there are enough messengers out there, why add another? icq, aim, yahoo, etc.

No, it isn't.

'Sequences shortened' also means that that website that loaded near-insatantly will probably take a minute or two, and that app will take more than 3 seconds to load.]]>Oct 29th 2009 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/
"The images on the screen are live and real, it's that they cut out pressing the home button, selecting a new app, etc. in order to fit as many different apps as they can in a 15 second time slot."

That's still a lot different from showing you computer simulated images of an interface that may not even match the commercial in real life.

Sequences shortened = real live video of an app working, real live footage of a video playing on an actual iPhone screen, real live video of an actor using his/her fingertips to conduct gestures on a real iPhone but without the extra steps and time necessary to complete every task you see (otherwise the commercial would have to be 30, 40, 60, 120 seconds instead of 15).

Screen images simulated = totally fake video slapped on what's really the non-working screen of a BlackBerry Storm 2 where the actor is acting out a well rehearsed sequence of finger movements that aren't actually taking place on the phone that's on your TV/computer screen.

Do you see the difference?]]>Oct 29th 2009 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/first-storm-2-ad-huffs-and-puffs-for-attention-video/
