The touchscreen BlackBerry Storm, known previously as its other rubbish codename, Thunder, has been doing the rounds on gossip sites for months. And now, following on from its
early arrival on Expansys,
Boy Genius Report has unearthed pics of the new blower with Vodafone colours slapped all over it.
Shots show off the refined QWERTY keyboard, with features said to include beefed up haptic feedback, which you won’t find on the iPhone 3G or T Mobile G1.
The phone’s release, here in the UK at least, is still shrouded in mystery. Verizon has already been showing off their exclusive deal with RIM over in the States, but this is the first indication we’ve had that Vodafone will be getting in on the act in the UK.
BlackBerry’s been busy already this month, showing off the
new Pearl Flip. But let’s be honest, we want to get hold of the Storm now. Expect it before Christmas.
