By James on Oct 09, 2009 in BlackBerry, International Networks, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon.

Ronen from BerryReview has just posted some updates to the Storm 2 launch for both Verizon and Vodafone. Apparently Vodafone UK will be launching the Storm 2 (9520) on October 15th (just a few days away!), followed by Verizon launching the Storm 2 (9520) on October 25th or so. Now Ronen also goes on to say that he received a tip that RIM will not be launching the 9520, the 3G version of the Storm 2 in the USA. With any luck we might see the 9520 hit Canadian shores for a HSPA launch on Bell and TELUS? Although its kind of doubtful.

So I guess we will have to sit back and wait to see if these dates are true.

BlackBerry Storm 2 heading to Verizon & Best Buy on October 25th?

By James on Oct 01, 2009 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon.

It’s no secret that the BlackBerry Storm 2 (9550) will be launching sometime this year. Well it seems that Best Buy has listed the Storm 2 in their internal inventory system as launching on October 25th. If this turns out to be true we would see an official launch from Verizon either late October or early November. My guess is that they may want to wait until November to release the Storm 2, as the original Storm was launch in November. But who knows…

BlackBerry Storm 2 Shows Off New Piezoelectric Technology for SurePress

By Matt on Aug 25, 2009 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series.

2009-08-25-storm2dissect-1

More and more photos of the Storm 2 are finding their way onto the internet. The newest pictures to surface showcase the piezoelectric technology that is making its debut in the Storm 2. If you haven’t been keeping up on the Storm 2 you might be asking yourself what piezoelectric technology is. Unlike the original Storm with just one pivoting button the Storm 2 has four sensors. The sensors are only activated when electrical current is going through the phone so when it is turned off or in standby mode the screen won’t click. It will be interesting to see just how well this new technology works. Check out more pictures and details over at Engadget.

bbstorm2-video

Once again Twitter/Youtube member Salomondrin has released a new video showing off the un-released BlackBerry Storm 2. The Storm 2 in the review has older software on it, and doesn’t show off the Wi-Fi which the Storm 2 will pack. After watching this seven minute video we didn’t really learn anything new, but its sweet to see another one live in action. Apparently the Storm 2 will run 100 times better than the current version, the Surepress is still there its just been made better. Watch the video below and let us know what you think… Will you check out the Storm 2?

Oh and Yes... This is a CDMA version (it just has an unlocked sim card slot). You will see this device on Verizon, Bell and TELUS.

Guess what’s spotted in Vodafone Germany’s inventory? The heavily rumored, don’t post a picture of RIM will kill you… BlackBerry Storm 2. This hopefully means that the Storm 2 is starting to enter inventory databases around the World. The Storm 2 will for sure be the next generation in the Storm family sporting RIM’s upgraded Surepress touch screen and Wi-Fi. No one seems to have any word on pricing or exact launch details yet, but its expected to land on many networks across the World this October-November.
