The last video we posted of the Storm 2 doing its SurePress thing has been unceremoniously pulled from YouTube, but this new video really makes up for it. It turns out the screen uses piezo electronics to detect pressure at any point on the screen, instead of the all-or-nothing click button on the Storm 1, and our video host was kind enough to explain this in painstaking detail in the video embedded after the break. The screen actually stiffens when it’s off or locked, and has a sort of spongy give to it when alive. He also confirmed in no uncertain terms the GSM and CDMA versions of the device will be packing WiFi. According to his Twitter account, we should be expecting a video about the OS soon as well.
[Thanks, Kristjan]

It’s not officially available yet, but the fine folks at Android Community have gotten their hands on a HTC Hero and posted up quick unboxing and overview. Their unit is an unaffiliated generic whitebox model, so it’s likely that the retail packaging the rest of us see from carriers will be different, but none of that changes the device itself, which AC thinks is the “best Android device to date.” That’s quite a statement, but we’re inclined to agree — we’ll see if anything changes when we get that US 3G version in our hands. More pics at the read link, video after the break.

DigiTimes has a couple of back-to-back rumors from its industry sources that could be of interest to Nokia fans. Yesterday, the Taiwanese rumor rag said that Nokia will adopt a Synaptics touchscreen integrated circuit (which may or may not support multi-touch) solution for an upcoming “high-end handset” due for launch in the 3rd quarter of 2009. To be clear, this is not the N97 which is expected to go on sale in June. Now DigiTimes adds that capacitive touch panel orders from Nokia have been received from Wintek, the same supplier fitting Nokia’s 5800 with resistive touchscreens. We’re big fans of silky smooth, capacitive glass panels on finger-friendly touchscreen phones so we’ll be stoked if these rumors prove true.

ASUS is rumored to have a new Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional-powered smartphone in the works, with its Glide 1.5 user interface in action. The Galaxy7 supposedly sports a 3.5″ WVGA touchscreen display and hides a 5 megapixel camera with 4GB of internal storage.
The ASUS Galaxy7, which may also be released as the XDA Zest for O2 in Europe, also packs GPS, WiFi, and a microSD card slot for expanded storage. The smartphone should hit the market with quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and 3G on board, though nothing is official.

According to what looks like an internal HTC document gone viral, the Opal will run HTC’s newest TouchFLO 3D UI band-aid for WinMo 6.1 atop the same TI OMAP 850 proc already powering the Touch. Looking a bit deeper reveals quad-band GSM / EDGE with the same WiFi, MicroSD slot, Bluetooth 2.0, 2 megapixel camera, and 2.8-inch 240 x 320 pixel touchscreen found in the aged Touch handset. Only HTC, with its Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Dream, and Xperia X1 can force a flagship device down-market so quickly.
