Storm2 was the first BlackBerry phone with a multitouch screen, providing users with a smoother and more familiar navigation experience similar to other smartphones in 2009. Unlike the original Storm, the Storm2 utilized a traditional touchscreen interface, without the need to depress the screen. Additionally, Wi-Fi support was added to the Storm2, which was missing from the first generation phone.
While the original Storm was not a great success, the Storm2 marked a significant step in BlackBerry’s development towards more modern and user-friendly technology. However, a few years later, the BlackBerry Z10 offered further functionality and performance upgrades.
