Images of the BlackBerry Storm 2 emerge

A mere four days after the world got its first look at the upcoming BlackBerry Driftwood, the guys at CrackBerry have scored pictures of the successor to the BlackBerry Storm from the same source. Featuring similar styling queues as the Driftwood with black plastic convenience keys and a battery cover sporting the seven-dot BlackBerry logo, the Storm 2 does look a lot like the current 9500 / 9530 Storm — albeit much thinner and more streamlined. We’re currently short on concrete specs other than the fact that it will launch on Verizon and feature Wi-Fi and a new screen technology called TruePress (as opposed to the current Storm’s SurePress). The newest Storm also retains the metal battery cover and auto-focus 3.2 megapixel camera with flash as well.

    I think what they are trying to say is that if you have a limited data plan with verizon, let’s say 500 minutes (this is just an assumption, I don’t know about Verizon data plans or any thing like that) if have wifi u can use if to get on the internet and u won’t use your minutes.

    Funny how everyone forgets. You shame Verizon and RIM for coming out with the Storm 2, and praises sung for the Iphone. Yet it was Apple, who 2 years ago launched the Iphone 2G to much fanfare, only to replace the sloooow, buggy first generation device with the Iphone 3G a little less then a year later. But since Apple seems to shit gold that smells like lilacs…nobody seemed to care. But, how dare Verizon and Rim do something similiar??

    The Storm 2 should be a huge improvement over the first. RIM (for whatever reason) couldnt get the software right on the first, I cant see how they could do worse on the next.
