BlackBerry Storm 2 awesomeness. That’s all I’ve got to say about the video above. Salomondrin has put together yet another pre-release video of a BlackBerry device, and his overview of the Storm 9550 does not disappoint.

If you’re a ‘Storm Chaser’, this video is a must watch. Sure, it looks like the unit being reviewed sports an outdated OS and has no WiFi… But I’m guessing RIM is pretty tight with their development/test units. I have no idea how Salomondrin manages to get his hands on these pre-release units, but I certainly hope he keeps on, keepin’ on.

Probably the most memorable quote in the vid:

‘…this is a really, really old OS that I am running the phone on, and it still works a 100X better than the Storm I had before…so, that should say something…it’s really easy to press, guys… this is not like the SurePress that the other one had…’

Looks like the boys in Waterloo have been working hard to improve SurePress

Check out the video now, would ya. Salomondrin starts with a basic overview of the outside of the device… Including the new chrome bezel, solid metal battery door, backlit buttons… and much more.

    When he went to connection settings, I didn’t see a wireless on it? Only Bluetooth and Phone. So still no wireless for the Storm series?
