I didn’t even know there was going to be a BlackBerry Storm 2. Apparently there is. Check out the pictures here.
The most interesting thing I have seen about this device was the mention of WiFi included on the Verizon version. That’s something Verizon usually makes sure isn’t on their phones. They lock that out to [...]
