    Don't think any dates have been confirmed for any kind of release for the product yet.

    Definitely wasn't on Engadget (or BGR or Gizmodo) - I've been following religiously.

    You're thinking of a new version of it that will be released then. The storm is still coming to verizon and vodafone in early november.

    Actually, s/he's probably thinking of the new Storm/Bold/Curve/Every other blackberry that was "announced" or previewed today on Engadget/BGR. Kevin also ran a spot on it on the homepage.

    I heard from a Verizon rep that it's getting pushed back to "soon."

    Take it for what it's worth.

    RIM adding touchscreen to Bold-like QWERTY, US bound HSDPA Storm in May? - Engadget Mobile

    here's the link.... not the storm but a storm/bold/jav hybrid sort of. and they are only expecting an announcement in may, if i read correct, and a Q4 release(so a yr from now)

    It certainly looks like someone just copied a Bold keyboard and pasted it onto the Storm. It would be nice to have the option of having a physical keyboard for all the people who want one plus the touchscreen. I like having a lot of screen space on the Storm though

    the image on BGR and engadget is fake, quite obviously a mock up.

    its the 9900 pluto as kevin said on the front page it's a bold, curve and storm hybrid. for release Q3/Q4 2009 but considering the delays RIM have who knows.

    yeah, obviously a photoshop but looks pretty cool. we'll all have a year to decide on the touchscreen keyboard of the storm.
