Verizon officially launched the Blackberry Storm 2 today, and despite its name, I think it is fair to say it will be overshadowed by the launch of the Motorola Droid.  Nonetheless, the device that a ton of people hated upon its first release is back for a second helping and this time around they’ve added WiFi, a preinstalled 16GB microSD card slot, a slightly updated facade and what RIM is claiming to be an improved SurePress click screen.  You can order one today for $179.99 after a $100 mail-in-rebate and 2-year contract signing.

While I can’t predict the weather, one thing is for sure: a storm is on the way. To be more specific the Storm 2 from RIM. Yup, they’re releasing the second iteration of the device on October 28th, at least according to some leaked documentation. This is supposed to be the launch day of Motorola’s Droid…

Just when you thought your Blackberry couldn’t get more addictive, along comes the crew out at Research In Motion to give you one MORE toy–the RIM Blackberry HS-500 Wireless Headset.

Targeted toward Blackberry purists who absolutely must own everything Research In Motion can put out, as well as anybody needing a headset for any device that runs Bluetooth (iPhone users take note–your Blackberry headset can also be your iPhone headset if you have both devices!)

Early remarks say that the HS-500 is an item of understated grace that does the job solidly well, but anyone who wants a really flashy headset should look elsewhere. There are some problems with it, apparently, like a lack of dedicated volume keys, but that’s not too much trouble alongside the benefits it offers.  The device costs a whopping $80 or less, so anyone out for a great utilitarian headset should look here.

Whoa doggy!  I never thought RIM would seep to this level of gimmick, but low and behold they have.  Okay, maybe that’s a bit unfair, but at first glance you do have to question the sanity of a Blackberry Watch.

Rumored to be called the inPulse Smartwatch (get it, the impulse to pick up your phone) , it’s actually a device that is designed to be complimentary to your Blackberry and not a stand alone cell phone, like we’ve seen from Kempler & Strauss, LG or Samsung.  It’s designed to provide you with updates, such as new email, whose calling you, etc all when your Blackberry is sealed away in your laptop bag or out of reach.

Spec wise not much is known right now, but word is that it’s sporting a bright and easy to read OLED screen – touchscreen, maybe.   Also, there’s no word on a release date or price, but the pics look pretty legit.

Looks like it’s official with AT&T’s announcement, the up to now black BlackBerry Bold will be making an appearance in a ghostly white skin. At first I thought it a bit strange but it’s definitely growing on me.

Expect an October 18 release for $199 after 2 year contract.

The Blackberry Storm hasn’t exactly been the smash success that Verizon or RIM had hoped for.  As a result, they’ve spent no time denying the existence of the next iteration of the device and even sent an early build to the folks at Crackberry.com for a hands on.

Thanks to a set of leaked documents we now know – that is assuming these are legit and accurate – that the Storm 2 (aka 9550) will arrive in retail stores…

RIM officially kicked out the product page for their Blackberry Curve 8520.  It will launch on T-Mobile August 5th and cost $129.99 after a 2-year contract.  Specs wise were looking at a 2 megapixel camera, EDGE connectivity, WiFi, a 320×240 screen, 4.5 hour talk time and some dedicated media keys adorned to the top of the phone.  Unlike all of RIM’s previous Blackberry phones, the 8520 will be the first to sport their optical navigational pad instead of the trackball, which first appeared on the Pearl.  Lastly, RIM is claiming that the Curve 8520 will be Mac compatible out of the box, that is assuming you’ve got the software installed.

The folks at Crackberry got their hands on the Blackberry Storm 9559, aka Storm 2. There doesn’t seem to be any massive changes to the smartphone and the device they had was very early stage and running the current Storm OS. The most notable changes we can see right now is that the 4 buttons at the bottom of the device are now integrated into the screen, a slightly sleeker form factor (check the battery door), the screen doesn’t click…
