14 DAY TRIAL // BlackBerry Storm 2 is one of the handsets the Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion is reportedly getting ready to release into the wild before the end of the ongoing year, and some of the latest rumors on the Internet show that October 21 might be the lucky day for enthusiasts out there. Moreover, the fact that Storm 2 dummy units and accessories for the device already made their appearance in the carrier's stores also tends to show that the release date is getting near.
According to a recent post on CrackBerry, the release date has been nailed down and there are a few things that might change it at the moment. A screenshot showing both the October 21 launch day and other pieces of information from Verizon internal emails is the proof they have when making these assertions, and you can also check out the shot below.
Moreover, the news site also published a series of images with Storm 2 dummy units that recently reached Verizon's stores, and which were accompanied by a series of accessories for the device. For what it's worth, silicone skins for the second BlackBerry Storm have been already spotted at Best Buy, which means that things are finally starting to move towards a near release.
There are a wide range of users that can hardly wait for the second Storm to make an appearance on the shelves. The device is expected to deliver a series of new features that the original handset didn't have, including Wi-Fi connectivity and better touchscreen capabilities, and it should also come to the market without the flaws that brought the anger of some users upon RIM.
The Storm 2 is only one of the sequels the Canadian phone vendor is expected to deliver to the market before 2009 is gone, and, hopefully, users won't have to wait longer than a few days before the handset arrives. Especially since it is expected to make it into Verizon's BOGO promotion.
