Full Spec Sheet for the BlackBerry Storm 2

Click to enlarge

As usual Kevin over at CB is the first to bring us a full review of the BlackBerry Storm 2.  He has also provided us with a detailed spec sheet that includes a full list of features.  As suspected the Storm 2 will have plenty of goodies that should make it the best BlackBerry on the market.

Some quick things that stick out are certainly the Wi-Fi support which is an absolute must.  The rich display which is transmissive TFT LCD and supports over 65,000 colors.  Also you can’t forget about the fully redesigned touch screen that features multi-tap functions and a new SurePress system.  This is clearly what will make or break the device.  As we all know the main problems people had with the original Storm was the touch screen responsiveness and lag.  The early reviews report that this has been fixed and the Storm 2 should have a touch screen that rivals the iPhone’s.
