For some of you BlackBerry Storm2 owners, the touchscreen experience may not always be so great. From personal experience I can say that my Storm2 will not always 'click' when it's supposed to. Luckily for us, RIM is taking the necessary steps to correct this problem. We first heard rumor about the changes from BerryScoop, who couldn't quite confirm it, until they received a copy of an internal e-mail. We also have a VZW ninja who added a bit more info as to what is happening, and how this is a world-wide "recall".Overview:
VZW has approved a hardware change to the Blackberry Storm 2 (BB9550) devices to improve the touchpad performance.
Resolution:
RIM has added silicone actuators to the touchpad to improve touchpad performance and tactile response. All New and Certified Like-New Replacement devices produced by RIM starting on February 10, 2010 contain the new hardware enhancement. Devices can be identified by the Green dot on the master carton and/or date code on the back of the device. (See below for details)

Action:
Customers experiencing touchpad performance issues, provided all other warranty/eligibility requirements are met, can be provided a Certified Like-New Replacement.

- Starting on February 22, 2010 or later the date code is displayed on the device label in DDMMYY format (220210).
- All devices with the above 3 digit date codes or 6 digit date codes contain the new hardware changes.

It will be interesting to see how the other carriers implement this change. Will you be replacing your Storm2? Just remember, threaten to switch to AT&T if they won't give you the replacement device...that will get them!

is there a online store where i could buy th new screen?
I agree with you guys. Holding a 10 inch tablet everywhere I go doesn't sound like fun. Can you imagine someone pulling that thing out at the dinner table? It's not portable enough for me and I would be too scared of breaking the screen.

There's no way they actually let the first-time homebuyer tax credit expire this year…I think it's gonna be a permanent fixture, at least through the crisis…why would they pull something like that mid-crisis? Hell, nobody wants to lower home prices, so there's no other way to “increase affordability.”
