Blackberry Storm 2: Snapped in Carphone Warehouse Store display [Updated]

October 7th, 2009 by Ben Smith

There’s been plenty of spy shots of the Blackberry Storm 2, which is rumoured to be arriving on Verizon and Vodafone UK this October, but our eagle-eyed spies (well, friend of the site Dan Carter from at World of Nokia) has spotted this display at a Vodafone Carphone Warehouse store which shows an official image of the device.

The Blackberry Storm 2: Almost certainly on Vodafone any moment now.

We doubt very much if the staff will be able to demonstrate it to you just yet, but expect an announcement very soon.

At The Really Mobile Project we’re hoping it’s less of a steaming pile of fail than the original Storm was (sorry Blackberry, but let’s be straight about this) although it would have taken an enormous amount of effort to produce anything worse. Fortunately early reports have been positive so we look forward to a serious touch-screen contender from Blackberry.

Meanwhile, Dan Carter’s trying to eradicate thoughts of any manufacture other than Nokia by memorising the N900 manual… Thanks Dan!

Update: Per Dan’s comment, this was taken in a Carphone Warehouse, not a Vodafone store. Ooops! Sorry!

  • Had the Storm and quite liked it TBH, only downfalls were no WiFi and Voda only, BB's are still somewhat lacking in the MM stakes, but as a communication tool, their unbeatable.
  • The UI and the clicky screen made me want to hurt people... mostly the people who designed it.

    Can't argue about BB's messaging strengths tho'
  • On the later FW the screen worked like a charm Ben, BB UI is not the most user friendly, thats for sure, but it allows you to delve deep in to the OS, unlike the Noddy in toytown UI certain other devices sport :)

    I concur - the Storm made me want to slap it in public. Daily. Much happier with the iPhone over here on AT&T.;

    hi ben just a slight correction, the pic taken was in Carphone Warehouse and not Vodafone. In fact Vodafone still have no info on the handset from what i have heard.
  • Ooops! Fixed. Thanks Dan.
