Although Verizon have tried there hardest to ignore the obvious, RIM’s (Research In Motion) BlackBerry Storm 2 is not only official but destined for Big Red’s airwaves.

According to phoneArena, both the Storm and the Storm2 will eventually be identical in terms of software with an update on the way. The update will include the addition of flick scrolling, tabbed browsing and threaded texting. For more information please visit engadgetmobile.com
