Blackberry Storm 2 rumours fly
BLACKBERRY MAKER RIM is preparing to launch a successor to its touch-screen Storm handset, according to reports, which indicate that it may appear as early as this week on Vodafone's network.
Known as the BlackBerry Storm 2, the new device is said to address shortcomings in the original smartphone, adding support for WiFi networks and an overhaul of its touch-screen user interface.
The original Storm, launched almost exactly a year ago, was the first BlackBerry to feature a touch screen in place of a keyboard, and was regarded as RIM's answer to the Apple Iphone.
However, although the device featured tactile feedback to prevent accidental hitting of the wrong on-screen option, it was criticised by many users for being clunky and unreliable.
The first rumours of a second BlackBerry Storm surfaced in May, and eventually led to an admission from RIM that such a device was under development.
However, a spokesperson for RIM refused to confirm or deny reports that the Storm 2 is about to launch, despite sources such as The Guardian reporting that it will go on sale this month with Vodafone, and even quoting tariffs of £30 a month. µ

I've been known to tell my share of porkies in my time, but I can guarantee 110% that this sentance highlights crappyness that was NOT in the original launch pack for the Storm v1
"...address shortcomings in the original smartphone..."
I hate being surrounded by all the lies 24x7
It really, really gets to me
That breaks them for sure. Never drop one while the charger/usb is attached.

With no BES / BPS offering capable of sitting on an SBS2008 server. RIM is currently loosing a vast part of the 5-25 seat business space that would typically have one or two blackberry's wanting it to synch with exchange. The touchscreen type tend to appeal to this market place (as opposed to the corporate users who have their own dedicated BES server). Without the software it is useless. Odd that an iphone works better than a Blackberry. Think they have lost the plot! Just go out and get the Palm Pre!
