More and more photos of the Storm 2 are finding their way onto the internet. The newest pictures to surface showcase the piezoelectric technology that is making its debut in the Storm 2. If you haven’t been keeping up on the Storm 2 you might be asking yourself what piezoelectric technology is. Unlike the original Storm with just one pivoting button the Storm 2 has four sensors. The sensors are only activated when electrical current is going through the phone so when it is turned off or in standby mode the screen won’t click. It will be interesting to see just how well this new technology works. Check out more pictures and details over at Engadget.

RIM CEO says SurePress is here to stay, No comment on Storm 2.

By James on May 27, 2009 in BlackBerry, RIM, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

Interesting news developed today during an interview at D7, when RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis was asked about the “rumors” on the internet that the next gen Storm will not click, he said “We don’t comment on rumors. But SurePress is here to stay”. This is interesting news considering the recently leaked photos of the Storm 2 show a non-clicking display. Could this mean that RIM will introduce several new Storm models this year? Possibly one with SurePress (clicking) and one with TruePress (non-clicking)? I guess we will have to sit back and see…

What do you think? Will RIM introduce a SurePress and TruePress model?
