AT&T going to have a blackberry touch?

**Penrath** · 01-30-2010, 02:03 PM

I was updating my wireless card at the Local Corporate AT&T store, and during the discussion with the rep, it came out that AT&T was looking at an "AT&T version of the Blackberry storm" called the "thunder"....

Anyone hear something similar? Can someone confirm or deny? Is this just a rehash of the old "Magnum" or "Pluto" rumor?

Thanks!

Maybe? The Thunder was the name for the Storm 1 before it came out. So either the rep was stuck in 2008, or they smoked a little too much of something before work, and were feeding you BS.

I'd love to be proved wrong though.

The GSM only version of the Storm2 is the 9520 that Vodaphone (verizons parent company) carriers in other parts of the world. No big loss if it stays with VZW as I did not like the Storm.

I agree with you both. He said something like "they were seeing if it will pass quality control"... I am really trying to be optimistic here. Too bad it sounded so suspicious! Maybe the box of capt'n Crunch he was eating handfuls of was an indicator....LOL!
