Verizon Wireless to carry Palm Pre, Storm 2 "in about six months"
Printable View
In b4 everyone who thought it was coming out this summer.
Also in b4 complaining its too soon, and in b4 iphone did it too
PRE OR STORM 2...HMMM
I thought Storm 2 was entering production soon....how is it still 6 months away?
Seems to me the 6 month statement is more for the Pre.
"Over the next six months or so you will see devices like Palm Pre and a second generation Storm." The key word is OVER.
I guess i read that too fast. So we still know nothing more now than we did before.
Exactly, they aren't saying the "storm 2" isn't coming out for 6 months. They are saying that phones like the "storm 2" and "pre" will be released over the next 6 months. For all we know the storm 2 could come out in July and the pre right before christmas.

Yeah, but what about the part...
report makes clear that both phones would be cleared for shipment in around six months
I look forward to the Pre on Verizon. If this is true, RIM better polish up their handsets... quick-like and start with the Storm 2 OS/capabilities.
lol...your reading too much into this folks, guess what 6 months from now is? November is it not, and companies tend to stick to a certain time when releasing devices that are usually a follow up.
Besides, the Reuters report 6 months, not somewhere in the middle.
Personally i've been keeping my eye on this one and waiting for a full review to come in any day now. Seems to be unanimous in the fact that everyone hates the keyboard.
RIM better have its S2 up to snuff by this time, otherwise the only thing they'll be talking about is Push notifications
Mwahhaahhaa to all the people who thought it was coming out in JUNE. Tour for me, baby. Then who knows? Ill take a look at the Pre and the Storm 2. All I know is that RIM better step up their game. They will not be the only smartphone on VZW worth buying come 6 months. The Pre and iPhone will be storming (intended) onto the scene at Verizon stores before RIM can look twice. Hopefully this means better Blackberrys for us!
If I had to guess, and that is what I am doing, I would say before ThanksGiving.
Meh @ Verizon. I want to hear news about a time frame for a US GSM version.
McAdams says that over the next 6 months or so, which I take to mean that there still could be new devices beforeNovember. To me, over the next six months means that new devices could appear any time between now and the end of the year, meaning a June release of the Storm 2 is still possible.

Ehhh, so much for the store managers "june" release.
Crucial did say no June or July....hopefully August or September....just hope its not exclusive
Correct, June or July is/was/always has been out of the question. I'm just going to leave it at that and not say anything else about it, but that timeframe has never been close to correct.
i guess this kills the storm 2 contest. 45 days of waiting for the Tour, assuming july 13 is correct.:D
I am still hoping for a summer release. Would love to leave AT&T and get a S2.
I'm in no hurry for the Storm 2. I'll pick up the Niagra when it comes out (VZW has already commited to give me whatever BB I want because of the Storm issues out there. Not that I've personally had them, but knowing people that can comment your account is useful ;)) and get the S2 when it becomes available as well. Plenty to keep me busy ;)
Take what i have to say and put it on your calanders ....... I AM WILLING TO BET , MY PARENTS HOUSE LOL , THAT THE STORM 2 WILL COME OUT November 20/21st of this year .
U know it's nice speculating about whats around the corner; and I for one will be looking forward to it as well. But don't underestimate the new Win Mo devices as well. I am way beyond that I am more excited about the
LTE devices that will prpbably be rolling out next year.....
Yes I will be looking to switch devices at the end of the year though..... ;)
Back to school special?
