Despite Verizon's best efforts to ignore the obvious, RIM's
BlackBerry Storm2 is not only official, it's (un)officially
destined for Big Red's airwaves. If you're one of those slightly disgruntled
Storm 9530 owners, however, you could be looking at a rather nice firmware update coming your way in the near future. According to
phoneArena, the Storm and Storm2 will eventually be "practically identical" in terms of software, with a forthcoming update to add flick scrolling, tabbed browsing and threaded texting to the original. Of course, we should probably wait for VZW to confirm the existence of the Storm2 before expecting any formal word on this, but feel free to go about your day with cautious optimism.

I don't think any firmware update can make storm better for browsing.....

I already have these from a leaked OS 5.0.0.230, it gives flick scrolling, threaded text as well, along with other adjustments, the only thing I haven't seen is the tab browsing on this OS 5, its a lot nicer for the storm, made it like a new phone, the phone it should have been in the first place

Is the picture of the Storm2 used intentionally even in an article that deals specifically with the Storm 9530?
