Recently Blackberry allowed Storm 9530 users to update to the OS used on the Storm 9550, bringing some much needed respite to the original Storm users woes.

That's pretty pricey considering the Storm 2 is not that much different than the original storm.

Differences:
1. No more click screen, everything is touch (even the power/menu buttons)
2. Doubled App memory (from 128mb to 256mb)
3. Wifi

So if you can get a storm for $49.99 then how would one justify spending $180 on a storm 2?

I don't think anyone should consider getting a blackberry until RIM updates their OS and browser. They're both 5 years old+ and look incredibly dated. I don't even need to get started on the browsers functionality. Its horrid at best.
