Is there a Verizon Storm 2 on the Horizon?


Bonna Cha of CNET reports that you can get a good deal these days on the oft maligned Blackberry Storm.

"This is the second price drop for the Storm (first was from $199.99 to $149.99), leading many to believe that the carrier is clearing out inventory to make room for the RIM BlackBerry Storm 2. While RIM has confirmed only that it is working on the device, it has not commented on a release date, pricing, or final specs. "

However some sites around the tubes are running with a supposed leaked document from Verizon that says the Storm 2 could see you in September to mid-October.

"If the docs are to be believed, then you can look forward to a BlackBerry Storm 2 (9550) on Verizon starting on the 29th of September for business customers. Also, the device will rear it’s touchscreeny-goodness in Verizon stores on the 14th of October (for general consumption).

Of course, no pricing details are available at this point… But this is the latest. Believe it or not, I’m still chalking it up to rumor until I get more confirmation."

I would hold off on getting a Storm at this point even if we are a couple more months away from a new model. The Storm has no where to go but up.
