storm

Verizon Wireless is about to launch the BlackBerry 9530 Storm, and while we wait for the official announcement, here are some new details about the device that have leaked today:

• Full HTML browser;
• Quad-band GSM + EV-DO;
• 3.2Mpix camera;
• High-res “click” touch screen with tactile feedback

Unfortunately, it looks like there's no Wi-Fi.

This is interesting: a video has surfaced with some ninja in the back holding a BlackBerry Storm. Although it's nice seeing a touchscreen BlackBerry, the whole concept of navigating the phone with physical keys crosses out this feature. We certainly hope this is just the old software installed on the handset that doesn't properly support the touch-sensitive display, and the final variant of the Storm will be atleast as good as the HTC Touch Diamond.
