There’s not just a new OS for the Verizon BlackBerry Storm today, but official word on when the touchscreen smartphone’s successor will arrive on shelves. This coming Wednesday, October 28th, will mark the Verizon BlackBerry Storm2’s arrival, with the handset priced at $179.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and assuming a new, two-year agreement.Your hard-earned dollars get you a 3.25-inch 480 x 360 capacitive touchscreen with the latest iteration of RIM’s SurePress technology, both EVDO Rev.A and UMTS/HSPA 2100 (the latter for travelling), and WiFi b/g, along with OS 5.0 and a total of 18GB of storage (2GB internal; 16GB via included microSD card). Around the back there’s a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera with image stabilization and flash, and a 1,400mAh replaceable battery good, Verizon claim, for up to 5.5hrs talktime or 11.2 days standby.
Other specs include a 3.5mm headset jack, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and a proximity sensor, and Verizon’s usual apps – including Rhapsody music – are preloaded. Unfortunately there’s no preferential upgrade rate for existing Storm owners, which given the first-gen handset’s mixed reviews seems a little short-sighted of Verizon.
