That was quick. First we hear nothing official and only rumors about a Storm 2. Now Verizon (Specifically Lowell McAdams) has officially stated that they plan on selling a new touchscreen BlackBerry Storm in the about 6 months. I guess this gives us time to prepare…
So does this mean that the new Storm will be here in time for the holidays? (November/December) What do you think?
I personally wonder if Verizon will even release a new official OS for the Storm before then…

I swear Verizon Wireless goes out of its way to frustrate its tech savvy customers. Seems they are more interested in pushing out craptastic devices to the masses.
Their failure to provide an updated OS for their exclusive Storm is an epic fail in customer relations. So many builds have leaked that easily best their official build and make the Storm such a FAR more capable device. I just can’t figure out why any company would be in such a hurry to get a new build out a week after launch and then we sit for 6 months with nothing. Its like they accepted the early reviews that rated the Storm poorly and gave up on the device. That they have a 2nd gen in the works is hardly a surprise but IS pretty disappointing.

OBTW, for those who say typing is too hard on a Storm, I wrote above from my Storm with OS 4.7.0.148.
