The leaked photo of the Storm 2’s internal board got our juices flowing — and our curiosity piqued — of course, but this latest set of photos really takes it up a notch. In addition to showing the rest of the device inside an out, there’s a handful of new pictures showing off that piezoelectronic technology doing its thing. Basically, as we understand it, those four “buttons” which are pictured are more like sensors than buttons. When the device is on, they communicate with the screen and presses on the OS can simulate that familiar “click” that Storm users know all too well. However, when the device is powered off, the screen stays put, as there isn’t an actual mechanism to move the screen like there was in the original Storm. Of course, we won’t know how to judge it until we can actually play with a real live demo unit in the flesh, but you can definitely say that RIM has us interested. At least they weren’t lying about that whole, ‘SurePress is here to stay‘ thing.
