It looks good. It will be great to see the final product.

Can't wait to get my hands on one. Looks very nice but as mentioned not a massively huge step from the original Storm.

To be completely honest, I don't see enough of a change to warrant any existing Storm owner to upgrade. It looks almost identical, and many features on it will come to existing storm with firmware upgrades imo. (much the same situation as iphone 3G and iphone 3GS. Who wants to update to get a compass?)

Don't forget, the new iPhone 3GS has MMS as standard too... One small step...

its only a big step up for the non tech people out there who cant do firmware upgrades etc. to compare a base model 9500 to the 9550 itd be a huge difference in everything. but to compare between our 9500's with all the upgrades and settings the way we like them to the 9550 it wouldnt be much different.

Wifi is a pretty big step though.

and if the surepress gets a lot more sure, then that'd be good.

seriously, sometimes i have to click three or 4 times to get my alarm to turn off. thankfully merely touching the screen seems to kick it into snooze.
