BlackBerry Storm 2 Set to Challenge the iPhone

Who in the world would be brave enough to take on — and try to take down — the widely popular, ruler of the mobile world, the Apple iPhone?

Rhythm in Motion, apparently. The company, which is based in Waterloo, Ontario, recently revealed the BlackBerry Storm 2, which is a new version of the Storm smartphone with the touch screen. They make no bones about the fact that it is meant as another shot fired in their ongoing battle against the much loved iPhone.

The Storm 2 still has the touch screen and all its interface, but the improvements are many, such as faster typing as well as multi touch capabilities, which are designed to allow the phone’s user to type on many different parts of the screen, all at one time.

This is an iffy move, however; the original Storm didn’t do great when it hit stores during the latter part of last year.
