Storm 2 Hands on Review

Here is some early info, screen shots, video etc of the Storm 2 from the folks at Engadget. Appears they are going away from the click screen?? Anyway thought I would share.

BlackBerry Storm 2: the official unofficial hands-on

Things I think should be improved in the Storm:

*the camera should focus faster, the menu button should also serve as a shutter since sometimes you try to take a picture of yourself and have to guess where is the button in the screen, and there should be an option to put the shutter in silent mode.
*there is a small waste of screen between the buttons and the screen, it's a tiny detail but it should enlarge the screen or save us that space!
*the browser should be able to open tabs and surf in multiple pages at the same time.
*it would be nice if it came with more languages to set up, at least Spanish!
*it should vibrate and ring at the same time (well at least I don't know how to configure it)
*I loved the option on my Ericsson, where you could post notes to the home screen, like a post it to remind you important things during the day.
*when the phone is in SureType mode in portrait view, the letters are separated in 2 or 1 (letters per button), which makes it easier to use. But there's no way to put it in Multitap mode, and have the buttons with 1 or 2 letters, but 3 or 4, why not? We would "tap" much faster too...

Well, these are only a few things I'd like to see on the new storm, that I can think of now...
