BlackBerry Storm 2: Out by June?

May 19 2009, 11:40am CDT | by Robert Evans

We've got some big news from the online BlackBerry fandom. According to BlackBerryOS, forum moderator for one of the largest BlackBerry fan sites on the Internet, we could be seeing the new Storm 2 by the end of the month.

BlackBerryOS claims to have recieved this information from a senior Verizon insider who is generally reliable. Boy Genius notes that BlackBerryOS has come out with very accurate rumors in the past, so I'm leaning towards trusting this rumor.

The "insider source" said that Verizon has begun training their tech support staff to use the new Storm 2. Verizon has told its employees to be ready to support the Storm 2 by the end of the month, which means we could be seeing a release before June. BlackBerryOS's source claimed that, at the latest, we'll be seeing the Storm 2 in stores before the end of next month. Either way, we don't have more than a few weeks to wait.
