What could be better than the original BlackBerry Tour? Well, the BlackBerry Tour2 obviously. We’ve just got a hold of one and will be putting it through our normal thorough review processes, but in the meantime, here are some first impressions:

• Physical size is nearly, if not identical to the original BlackBerry Tour
• The trackpad works great, just as you’d expect
• We guessed the original Tour was slightly underpowered, and we were right. Fortunately the Tour2 seems to use the processor found in the Storm2, and that’s a welcome improvement. In the short time we’ve been using it, there aren’t many slowdowns that we’d normally get on the Tour, and the device feels much more snappy
• The keyboard remains at greatness status
• Wi-Fi works like any other BlackBerry

All in all a much-needed upgrade to keep Verizon and Sprint’s BlackBerry lineup current, and it might even be the device that sways me from my BlackBerry 9700… Photos in the gallery!

Like usual, if you buy Blackberry you won’t find any WiFi feature on it. But it is not for Blackberry Storm 2. Yes, this phone features WiFi. Not only that, it is also the 1st touchscreen Blackberry.

SlashGear said that RIM had made effort for cracking away the phone for its WiFi feature. But, the phone takes a relatively short time for its release month, September 2009.

While the Storm had been released in November of last year, 2008, so the release month of Storm 2 only takes 10 months interval within the follow up product and the original. We know that the follow up product usually puts a year interval after the original release. Storm 2 project might has been started since some previous months prior to the original release.
