The BlackBerry Storm2 (that’s right there’s no space) has officially been announced Vodafone has already put it up for preorder and it will ship October 26. There is no announcement yet but I would guess that it will show up for Verizon shortly after October 26.
The device has a 3.25-inch 360×480 capacitive SurePress touchscreen 802.11b/g 256MB of flash memory 3.2 megapixel camera and GPS.
Walt Mossberg has published his review of the device and oddly he has chosen to review the BlackBerry Storm2 and the Motorola CLIQ in the same article indicating to me that he believes these are “me too” handsets.
Regarding the “improved” SurePress screen:
The screen now stays still when tapped providing tactile feedback electronically instead of mechanically. This allows for faster smoother typing.
It sounds like RIM has learned from their mistakes. But knowing where all competing handsets are in terms of functionality and usability I don’t know why anyone would choose the Storm2.

Update 10/17/09: This is quite humorous; according to RIM’s comparison table the following has changed between the Storm and the Storm2:
The original Storm does not weigh anything the Storm2 weighs 5.64oz.The Storm2 now has Bluetooth v2.1+EDR Bluetooth Stereo Audio and DUNThe original Storm did not have a color splay or backlighting.The Storm2 has a slightly shorter battery life.The Storm2 now has twice the onboard and flash memory now 2GB and 256MB respectively.The Storm2 does not have sleep mode.The Storm2 has Wi-Fi and is capable of connecting to 850/900/1800/1900Mhz GSM/GPRS networks.It’s almost as if they forgot to edit the page or they forgot to input the correct data.
