... prayers for WiFi answered.
The BlackBerry Storm 2 is also rumored to hit market with more interesting features in tow. We’re putting our money on upgraded camera and other under-the-hood upgrades. Unfortunately, we don’t see the Storm 2 ditching the SurePress touchscreen - RIM has invested too much into SurePress to let it die after just a single generation. But, a few SurePress software-tweaks and a less harsh “click” would be nice to see.

RUMOUR: BlackBerry Storm II due in September

... pretty excited about this rumour. Sources suggest that RIM will be releasing a second iteration of the touchscreen BlackBerry in September this year.

... that RIM may be ditching the SurePress on the Storm in favor of a new TruePress. Of course, this mention is also just in the rumor stage as of now.

If you ask me, the Storm had so much potential, but it looks like it could still be a good device.
