Where did this mix up come from? The 9570 is NOT the storm 3. It was a Storm 2 refresh. The leaked pics of the full touchscreen BB with a TP was most likely the S3

The mix up comes from the idea that a third release of a Storm after the Storm and Storm2 would be a Storm3. No one was sure what the name would/will be.

Does it matter if it is the refresh or not? The big story is a new touch screen BlackBerry may come in November for Verizon with OS 6. If I hear something more official come Oct 27th I might hold out a month (my annual upgrade date is Oct 28th).... They better announce it soon!

That jeffries analyst is getting a lot of mileage out of this. If its still and S2 chip then its a waste of anyone's upgrade.

Incidentally, it makes a plain connection with "storm 3" and "9570". Refresh or not. Just thought I would point that out.

This should make for some good forum speculation.

Ok.... This is interesting... Hmmmm... What gives? Is this a refresh or what? Surepress?

But the BIGGEST question I have is it going to be released this year... I just threw my Storm2 on ebay planning on going Droid X... Oct 28th.... Man oh man I don't know what to do now!

I agree... But the rumor-mill is saying it will be without SurePress... And RIM is the one who decides if Storm = SurePress and it sounds like they don't agree with you.

If you think about it, it makes sense. The Torch does not have the SurePress screen and it could of easily. I know some will say that was because of the keyboard. But to me SurePress was also a dream for web browsing... In theory. With the Storm's tragic browser I never got to experience it much. I always had to use Opera Mini, and that just acts like SurePress is not there.

I can't wait till QNX. There is a serious problem with the OS and network traffic. Every BlackBerry I own it takes FOREVER to actually do something over the internet. Wifi does not help... Any network access is TERRIBLE....

Why do I mention this; because the Storm 3/4 might be LTE. Unless it's QNX OS, LTE 4G will be a total waste. The old OS can't even use Wifi any faster than 3G EVDO! Lol it's so sad

That's why I don't see the point of adding Wifi to the Storm2. It sucked really bad.

I wondered about the rumored cancellation... the day it came out I stopped in my local Verizon store for other reasons, but asked anyway, and the clerks were all adamant about at least a Storm 2 refresh of sorts coming out this fall (*on a side note* They were all on Droids, so I'm assuming they don't spend their free time researching Blackberrys and got this release info from the inside)
We shall see... I'm due for an upgrade as of end of September 27th and have been holding out on a Nice New BB Touch of one sort or another.

A couple of my sources have been talking to me lately about the new Storm 3, and I gotta tell you guys it sounds FREAKING AWESOME!! Everyone knows I’m a huge fan of the Storm 2, but from what I’ve heard so far about the third version of the Storm… I think I’m in love already.
Here are some Storm 3 specs and info that I’ve heard so far repeatedly from my sources:
1. Its being tested by a very limited team (preventing leaks).
2. The phone’s shell is still the Storm 2′s shell with different guts though (To make it hard to identify if the phone is lost or photographed).
3. It does have a 1ghz processor.
4. 8 GB internal memory.
5. 512MB flash memory was what they saw first, but apparently they are now playing with these test phones and have over 1GB of flash memory.
6. It won’t run on OS 6.0. Its gonna be running on an OS of its own. <– Really exciting
7. The phone does have the ability to run widgets and you can personalize it A LOT.
8. 5 MP camera still on it as off now, but like we saw on the 9670, this can change.
9. The screen will be something new we haven’t seen yet (new input mechanism) ,but it won’t work like the Storm 2. Yes, it will have SURE-PRESS, but I’m not sure how they are archiving it this time.
10. Its gonna be Verizon’s 1st or 2nd LTE phone. They aren’t sure if the Android phone will be first or the Storm at this point.
The reason why RIM doesn’t want this phone to leak, or are being more careful about it, is because it would confirm that Verizon will be launching their LTE network (which by the way is already set, but just running tests on as off these days) and its somehow a liability for them.
Again, and as you know, some things could/will change but those are the specs as off today."


The above was posted before we had heard of QNX or even the 9570 coming out. With the indication that 5MP camera was being used on this device and it looked like an S2, I'm fairly certain that this was most likely a 9570 device instead of a rigged S3 into an S2 design. There is also mention of widgets which we know that OS6 does not have implemented in the fasion that we know of. So, what's the possibility that this was a 9570 with QNX onboard?
