I bet you’re really excited about the new Storm 2! We’ve seen the videos, we’ve heard the stories, and now we’re looking forward to see Verizon Wireless launch one of the most interesting BlackBerry smartphones created so far. BlackBerry lovers will have a tough time choosing between the Storm 2 and the Bold 2. But if they’re looking for a large touchscreen display with a totally redesigned tactile feedback then the Storm 2 is the way to go.

In an interview with the New York Times, Verizon’s CEO, Lowell McAdam has spilled the beans on the Storm 2. It looks like the smartphone will be launched at some point this week which means we’ll have all the Storm 2 details ready for you in the following days. Let’s hope that this time around the new Storm will not disappoint us like its predecessor did a year ago.

Verizon Wireless Confirms BlackBerry Tour to Arrive Soon

13 Jun

We just heard the other day that the Tour is coming sometime in August with touch support along that full QWERTY keyboard. And according to Lowell McAdam, Verizon Wireless president and CEO, the Tour is indeed coming soon. Does soon equal August? Here’s what McAdam said:

You will see devices like the Palm Pre and the Cousin on our network from Palm. You will see a second-generation Storm. You will see a new device we call the Tour from BlackBerry as well. That is an upscale of any other QWERTY-based devices that we have from BlackBerry today. You’ll see Motorola back into our portfolio. We feel very good about the progress that the Motorola team has made. And, yes, you’re going to see Android devices as well.

As you can see McAdam mentioned more than one phone. The Pre is apparently coming and Motorola and Android phones are also going to be available from Verizon Wireless sometime in the following six months. So there you have it folks, the Tour is probably coming this summer, while other hot phones should definitely follow.
