Default So Whats Going On With This Rumored Storm 3 ?

I ask cause Im lazy and sick, its early in the morning and I just got up!

Is it true ???
I want to go pick up my otterbox commuter case today and a new body/screen protector (I found a place in my local mall that sells them), and Ive been thinking of buying the storm 2 but if the storm 3 is truly going to be released Id rather wait for that (Im not a millionaire here and I have no offers on my telus account). I mean Im not going to go spend $70 on my storm 1 if Im just going to switch to the storm 2 like a week later, but I will if the storm 3 is going to come out!
So if you have any info on it that would be great.

I've seen concept pics of it... with a slide out keyboard (kinda droid-ish, which i'm not much for) and like 512mb of app memory as opposed to 256. But any date is uncertain even if it will fly at all? It seems like they were going to be showing it in April at some kinda conference or soemthing which means a release date is VERY far away.

Ok -

1) there will be no slide out keyboard on the S3. (this is based onf things I've heard from people who tend to know these things and the fact that putting a keyboard on a Storm would make it a non-Storm

2) the phone will probably be released Oct/Nov (at least here in the States) as with the S1 and S2

3)(pure speculation) The odds of a faster processor, better camera, more memory are pretty good as that seems to be the trend with current technology. I've also heard it's supposed to be slimmer.

Alright Well I think Im going to wait since it looks like its a for sure thing.
And I got my commuter case and all I can say is that this thing is amazing, just a little worried about putting the new screen protector though. But at the same time I hope the storm 3 comes out in November so at least it will come out for telus in the beggining of 2011 lol.

Edit: are there any rumored pictures or full specs going around yet ?

increased hardware specs won't help with the bloated and outdated OS, though. it's not going to offer any new features or benefits. RIM is going the way of apple, sheeple buying whatever is released. only updating the app memory and processor to increase sales, won't impact actual performance.
