    Gizmodo - Wi-Fi-Enabled BlackBerry Storm 2 Coming to Verizon in September? - blackberry storm 2

    Don't ask me; I don't know, but Gizmodo seems to think that the Blackberry Storm 2 is coming to Verizon in September! Apparently RIM was in a big hurry!
    It's just a rumour for now, but I'm sad that I won't be getting it if it's true!
    (mom says that for how much my storm costed her, I'm actually holding on to it for the full contract. I can understand this :P)

    Not the 9520, it IS a rumored Storm2 on Verizon. It's actually reported by Slashgear as of this morning.

    The 9520 is just a different version of the Storm.
    I'm hoping it's not this rumored phone. That would be boring. I'm hoping for some hardware change:P

    Dont forget the 9520 is GSM only and would not work on Verizon.

    I hope Slashgear's source is not confusing the 9520 Storm with WI-FI coming for At&t with what they think is coming for Verizon.

    BGR has confirmed the Wifi Storm is coming to Verizon. Let's hope he's right. It will be interesting to see what it looks like since it won't have Surepress.

    I don't know if everyone is talking about the 9520(WiFi enabled and have improved HW), but the only thing I wonder is, why Verizon? The WiFi Storm is suppose to be a GSM device.

    What i heard from a buddy of mine that works for verizon ( not a sales person ) is that its going to have the storm touch screen and a slide out keyboard. Just what i heard though.

    WTF a sliding keyboard, that would make it much more bulkier than it is

    I really hope they push it back a few months because I just got mine on Jan and I want the new one

    Even though I'm on AT&T I'm pumped at a Storm 2 being here so soon.. another option to add to the BB family.

    I still don't believe big red caved on wifi. This one will probably support it too, but at the last minute VZW will pull the plug on the wifi saying that the network is good enough. Certainly makes going to vzw look like a decent move now... too bad the magnum is more than enough leverage to keep me on the gsm side of the loop.

    you would only hope that verizon and blackberry would do something for the people who just bought a storm. Kind of like what apple did with the Iphone. I bought mine in January and would be willing to listen to offers!!!
