Yes... you read it right... after only 6 months since the launch of the Storm 9500/ 9530... RIM already has the so called "Storm 2" ready to hit the market!!
Well, I'm actually well aware of the various compaints some users have on the Storm 9500/ 9530 - the device RIM hope would be the iPhone killer... but I certainly did not expect RIM to have reacted quite so instantly on the issues and come up with the Storm 2, a model codenamed "Odin" internally.The folks at crackberry once published an article with some photos of the device a week ago... but was quickly removed after a request from RIM... however, a week later... the guys at engadget has got their hands on one actual unit and did an "official un-official review" for the latest berry RIM has!!
In this part of the world (Asia)... we have just seen the launch of Storm 9500 for only a short 2 months... whereas I have only get my hands on the Storm for less than a month!! If you're a gadget geek... you'd probably think RIM is an idiot right now...
Personally... I don't have much of an issue with my Storm... been happy with it so far... but hey... I have to be honest though... the new "Odin" does look much better than the Storm! at least the so called "award winning" click-able screen is now gone!! and if it addresses all the slacks of the Storm... the "Odin" maybe 'the' berry that eats into apple's market share!!
