Default No Storm 3 for Verizon?

Was going to pick one up when they became available. I guess we'll see how true this ends up being in the near future.

Good...to announce something as great-looking as the PlayBook and then to later announce a redo of the Storm 2...bad, bad PR move.

I wonder if there will be some type of full touchscreen replacement? I hope so...BB is what my company supports.

But if my company starts to support the i-uh...that OTHER phone, I'm outtie 500.

Well... I'm somewhat disappointed since I still have my original Storm. I still really like it but was looking forward to more memory and faster processing speeds. So what will be the next step?

I'm now hoping for a super full touchscreen phone that will be the perfect companion device for the new PlayBook with similar attributes. Will just have to stay tuned to Crackberry!

Well that sucks... I hope this does not mean that the Storm line of phones are canceled? I wanted to pick one up since my company was offering me an upgrade and I was up for one.

I honestly do not think the S3 was the 9570, rather a Storm 2.5/"Storm Refresh" model.

We asked our Verizon rep a couple days ago this week and were told that the S2.5 will be released next month, while the S3 will be released later on.

I hope the Storm 3 will be released from VZW...

That was your first mistake. Reps know nothing and that will never change. I also hope that something gets released. I would like to see something else from bb, been thinking about droid for a while now

It wasn't my mistake, my boss asked... I know better.

However, the only reason why I mentioned it and thought it would be worth mentioning was for mere wishful thinking.

Thats their best marketing tool.... bad PR. I wish the CEO would make up his mind on some things... He flip flops more than some politicians.

Just a guess, but if this is true then the 9570 must have still been a turd even with the extra memory. Having seen some of the craptastic stuff VZW has approved in the past, the S2 on OS 6 must have been a complete failure. Hopefully this will mean we will see the real Storm 3 sooner? I hope!

the processor has to be better IMO. i dont care what anyone says, a faster processor will make the phone running OS6 or the new OS smoother and more responsive. that is something that i think most BBs are lacking in right now. The OS is more robust but the hardware is barely increasing at all

You're right...I wasn't clear on differentiating hardware and software. Yes, I believe the processor would have actually been the failure point in this instance. Sorry 'bout that!
