When comparing the Storm 2 with the original Storm, users find the Storm 2 more user friendly. The new screen allows users to type at a faster pace—it supports multi-touch as introduced on the iPhone and available on Android-based devices.

RIM released specifications on the phone, reporting that 256 MB of RAM is available for applications, doubling that of the original Storm.

piezoelectric sensors located on the four outer corners of the screen that allow for confirmation of input. The screen does not depress when the device is locked or off.[5] It ships with BlackBerry 5.0 OS.[6] The phone's SureType
screen, which was heavily criticized on the original Storm, has been revamped and improved.

The Storm 2 also supports OpenGL ES.[7]
