BlackBerry Storm 2 Smart Mobile Phone Will Launch in September

Research In Motion (RIM) will debut an upgraded BlackBerry Storm 2 Smart Phone in September, SlashGear is reporting. According to “a source very close to the issue,” the BlackBerry Storm 2 mobile will support Wi-Fi-a significant omission in the first-generation BlackBerry Storm mobile, which debuted last fall on Verizon Wireless.

The man at the helm of the affairs, RIM CEO Jim Ballsillie, has reportedly confirmed that RIM is currently “engineering” the BlackBerry Storm successor and will target the untapped mainstream consumer audience, which now comprises more than half of the 25 million RIM subscribers.

The report offers few BlackBerry Storm 2 Mobile details, but it’s likely that RIM will upgrade the Storm’s much-maligned SurePress click screen, which many reviewers reported was sluggish and awkward to use. Since the BlackBerry Storm is RIM’s answer to the iPhone, a mediocre interface would likely be the first issue to address.

Recent rumors say the BlackBerry Storm 2 mobile will also include a 5-megapixel camera, an upgraded display, and a screen keyboard that’s easier to type on. A slide-out keyboard? Probably not. If Blackberry fans want a physical keyboard, they already have plenty of worthy options, including the BlackBerry Curve and the BlackBerry Pearl.

Despite its shortcomings, the BlackBerry Storm has proven very popular. It was the third best selling consumer smart phone in the U.S. last quarter, according to market research firm The NPD Group.

RIM seems to be making all the right moves now. The BlackBerry Storm’s sibling, the more traditional BlackBerry Curve, bumped the iPhone out of the top spot to become America’s most popular smart phone in Q1 2009.
