Login to CrackBerry.com and leave a comment to this blog post for your chance to possibly win a BlackBerry Storm 2. Full Contest Details Below!
There's lots of buzz around the interwebs today that the BlackBerry Storm 2 could be hitting store shelves much sooner than most of us would think, with rumors suggesting a release as early as before the end of this month or sometime in June. As much as I would LOVE for this to pan out to be true, my CrackBerry gut says we'll all have to wait a little longer than that to get our hands on a store-purchased model.
Our best info right now slates pre-production of the next generation Storm (which RIM internally refers to by the codename BlackBerry "Odin") to begin early next month and from there an official release is usually a couple months out (VZW's technical acceptance process usually takes 2-3 weeks on a device, so even if they approved it off the first pre-production run we'd still be looking at July). And this is Verizon were talking about here... the pickiest of the carriers... who also have the BlackBerry Tour 9630 to roll out still and after a less-than-stellar Storm 1 experience won't want to put out Storm 2 until it's ready. And they won't want to stack the 9630/Storm 2 releases too close to eachother. At this point, I'd rate a May release as impossible, a June launch as potentially possible but improbable, a July release as targeted/more realistic but tight (think end of the month, fingers crossed), an August launch as more likely but if you throw in the usual BlackBerry/Verizon delays then I wouldn't even be suprised to see it launch later than that. As always in the world of BlackBerry, all will be known with time.
Storm 2 Before the End of June Contest: Let's have some fun here! I'd love to see a June launch happen. I really would. I just don't think it will. So to that end, we'll take a gamble and run one helluva contest.... LEAVE a comment to this blog post. For every day that the BlackBerry Storm 2 is on sale in the month of June 2009 we'll give one away to a CrackBerry member. So if the Storm 2 is available for purchase on June 1st, we'll give away 30 Storm 2's over the course of the month. If it's available on June 15th, we'll give away 16. If it's available on the 30th, we'll give away one. And if it doesn't go up for sale in June at all, we'll give away none. Should make for an interesting month, huh? Leave a comment for your chance to win!
captaincaa May 19, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Awesome once again CrackBerry! And I trust that RIM has worked out the kinks in round 2 to avoid the backlash from round 1. Would love to have one!
DayzdNConfused May 19, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Here's to hoping for the impossible to happen
jostrat21 May 19, 2009 at 5:43 pm
This would be a nice first one to win...
Jeeverz May 19, 2009 at 5:44 pm
CRACKBERRY KEVIN has lost his CRACKBERRY mind..
AND I LOOOOOVE IT !
Referman07 May 19, 2009 at 5:44 pm
I realy need that new phone
LookinBoyJim May 19, 2009 at 5:44 pm
lol i think there is no way that it comes out in june but i'd love to have one!
whodatt May 19, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Lucky June... come on now... gotta will it now... storm2 in June, storm 2 in June.. even better yet, free storm 2 in June for ME, free storm 2 in June for ME!...
DenDMan May 19, 2009 at 5:44 pm
I really dont think that June realease will happen, but then again let's the play lotto. Hey you never know.
bloodbath May 19, 2009 at 5:44 pm
AWESOME! I hope it comes out on June 1st; more chances to win.
SarcaZm May 19, 2009 at 5:44 pm
Hope it comes to fruition.
BBcrazykimbrough6 May 19, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I cant wait for this device to come out! I am a Blackberry addict.
apuntsel May 19, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I would love to see them release the Storm 2 in June ... but i'm not holding any hopes of it. We are almost done with May and there has been no media hype which VZW is sure to do to promote the new Storm 2. Maybe a July 4th release?
Prove me wrong and I'll be happy to win one. :-)
coryteague May 19, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Yippeeee!! How sweet it is to be loved by you....
natsfan7 May 19, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I sure hope Verizon gives us Storm 1 owners a chance to updgrade.....
rsgolfhard May 19, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Yea! I want one!
mestskater May 19, 2009 at 5:45 pm
GAH. All this talk about storm 2 is making crazy. I feel used and abused. It be nice to get cracked out with a storm 2 by you guys I got my fingers crossed!!!
coltrain72 May 19, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I would like a Storm 2 Please. Thanks,
HWondowsky May 19, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I can't wait for the storm 2 to come out! I really am surprised they were able to whip up a new version so fast. I look forWard to any improvements.
Tallon May 19, 2009 at 5:46 pm
I hope it comes out as soon as possible so I might actually have a chance but probb won't... and if it does...??? what will happen to the original...???
Philster9 May 19, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Sitting on a Storm right now....dont really have any problems with it, none too severe, which makes me not like the idea of a new and better one....i cant upgrade for 2 years....if storm 2 is extremely better then im left in the dust. so much for trying to get involved early with a new product....RIM really must hate the first storm. To that end i hope i win because if the 9530 is about to be outdated then software for it wont be a priority (which is still kinda isnt?)
yodan4 May 19, 2009 at 5:46 pm
i need it
dragun May 19, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Crackberry! you guys are awesome. I am hoping for a June 1st Launch so a lot of peeps get some Storm 2 awesomeness! Good luck to all. If the rumors are true then Pre vs Storm 2 vs IPhone III its going to be a crazy summer for smartphone lovers. Thanks again Crackberry!
adamf1 May 19, 2009 at 5:46 pm
A lot of new BBs coming out this year. Too bad I'm locked into my Javelin for another 20 months.
dsquared2 May 19, 2009 at 5:47 pm
I'm game
nspencerks May 19, 2009 at 5:47 pm
I can feel it. This one is mine!
ridgele May 19, 2009 at 5:47 pm
If it's Free, it's for me!!!
fireball0424 May 19, 2009 at 5:48 pm
I hope to see this new phone in my hands in JUNE!!!! =)
gopowercat May 19, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Thanks. This would be great as Alltel is moving to Verizon, I can just use this phone.
Thanks.
Come on June release.
Jito007 May 19, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Should I worry? I'm a vegan and I just ate an animal cracker....oh yeah storm 2 most of us current storm owners will get the S2 as long as VZW gives us a discount if not....well let's just day that the "can you hear me now" guy won't be hearing anything for a while. HEAR THAT!
Brenson May 19, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Big Money Big Money!
curv May 19, 2009 at 5:47 pm
CB is absolutely right! VZW is going to take all summer to release this new berry. Even when they do it still won't be better than the Bold...
NotYaAverageBro May 19, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Please pick me. I have a Bold, but a touchscreen BlackBerry would be so nice!
dkongo31 May 19, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Well if they do release it in June this will officially be the craziest giveaway ever
jSlides May 19, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Here's hoping that it comes out in June. I would really like have Wi-Fi.
bl33k May 19, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Pick me! I'll gladly take one off your hands :D
kev.thom85 May 19, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Please June 1st.

jcbeck17 May 19, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Love to have one...the Pearl has worn out it's welcome & the work 8350i is...what it is
rockstar323 May 19, 2009 at 5:48 pm
One hell of a gamble but it would be nice.
brosseap May 19, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Although I'd like to see the new one in June, I really don't think we'll see it until August. Verizon is so slow to release anything. We've given up on their updates for the Storm here at work. We've actually loaded the updates released through CrackBerry.com
eedwards29 May 19, 2009 at 5:48 pm
I love CB so here we go again... I would love a BBS2 therefore I could show my hubby the ropes. Thanks Crackberry!
strawberriesr4fun May 19, 2009 at 5:48 pm
I would love to win a new blackberry storm 2.
watson.jay May 19, 2009 at 5:48 pm
I'm ready to get rid of my 9530. #2 has gots to be better. I believe. I believe that Storm 2 will be out by the end of June. I believe.....
mrariaz May 19, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Love Blackberry
desireaftergod May 19, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I'd love to get a Storm 2 if it comes out next month. I have had pretty good success with Storm "1" but the Storm 2 could be possibly a category 3 or 4 Storm...Maybe
NFLBlitze1 May 19, 2009 at 5:49 pm
GO CRACKBERRY
dalus87 May 19, 2009 at 5:49 pm

I would love to have another one.

coldconfession13 May 19, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Ill be glad to get a storm 2 but june release is skeptical I'd say they'll try to release it with the next version of the iphone.
Imbored14 May 19, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Hope that Storm 2 is better then the first 1
spradj89 May 19, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I held off on the original because I knew 2 would be awesome!!!!!!!!
Kamakanani0 May 19, 2009 at 5:49 pm

justinwjones May 19, 2009 at 5:50 pm

AlfredoEsparzaJr May 19, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Come on baby, daddy needs a Storm 2!!
I do hope to see Storm FIX the problems on the Storm. Should be interesting to see the updates AND the phone!
sspediacci May 19, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Please Ōðinn with all your wisdom join forces with CB and bring doom to the Storm in my holster and replace it with your poetry of form factor and hardware to complete an ultimate victory.
KingBack May 19, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Lets all hope! free=better!
rimbuk May 19, 2009 at 5:50 pm

pjacoby May 19, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Ah at last the phone i should have bought.
Ryder420420 May 19, 2009 at 5:51 pm
I don't think it will release before July but why not throw my name in the hat for giggles.
amishler May 19, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Thanks!
Fireman_Jack May 19, 2009 at 5:51 pm
I would take one....if it was free
eyedol_52 May 19, 2009 at 5:51 pm

QuIcKsIlV3r May 19, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Lets see a June 1st launch so I have more of a chance to win!
Viviana13 May 19, 2009 at 5:51 pm
I really doubt it's coming out in June but I would hate for it to be realeased and regret not leaving a comment for something I could have won.
david42545 May 19, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Awesome ! If I won a storm 2, I would take my original storm and use it as a coaster !
thefatkid22 May 19, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I own the original storm and its my first Berry i really like it. I can't wait till the storm two comes out... and would really like to win one for free especially being that i paid full retail for the first. Please pick me.
VillageIdiot6710 May 19, 2009 at 5:52 pm
It doesn't matter to me if it is released on the 1st or the 30th... I only need ONE! :D Bring it on!
wahtx May 19, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I have a buddy of mine who switched to Verizon just to get his hands on a Storm...It looks like an awsome device but as we all recall, it had a few bugs! I am hoping that with the Storm 2, a lot of the bugs have been worked out.
As far as the contest goes, I think this is a very creative idea...thank you for the chance!
Shhh...do you hear that? It sounds like thunder...I think there is a Storm heading my way! (cheesy, I know!)
midnighte13 May 19, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I love my Storm...and the Storm 2 has got to be even sweeter. Pick me!!!
nm1k0 May 19, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I think this is the best contest you guys have ever come up with. Hopefully it does get released so that you can have it.
I would love to win one too. PS.
Nick
joeybagodonuts May 19, 2009 at 5:52 pm
I hope it comes out in early June....that way CB can spread the love to a lot of people...hope i am one of them = )

JBAeroEngineer May 19, 2009 at 5:53 pm
as a storm 1st gen owner i'll be super pissed if this happens now, especially without no storm 1st gen support. here's hoping to win a second gen.
iverhoob May 19, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Storm 2 in june! Please god noooooo. That means the almost non-existant support for the 9500 will stop altogether :(
jcash74 May 19, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Come on RIM let's deliver on this one!
browntye May 19, 2009 at 5:53 pm

CB-BBuser May 19, 2009 at 5:54 pm
Crackberry people, you guys are risk-takers, I like that! I also like the BB Storm 2! I would also LOVE to HAVE a BB Storm 2.....Catching my drift here?
infernl May 19, 2009 at 5:54 pm
Because my Storm I never got the love it deserved from Big Red...
n2sooners May 19, 2009 at 5:54 pm

mythdraug May 19, 2009 at 5:54 pm
I hope it pays out for your registered users...
AkeelJ May 19, 2009 at 5:54 pm
So, being the early adopting wh**re that I am. What the hell do I do with my "does-everything-else-but-Blackberry-stuff" Storm when I rush to the VZW store knocking young kids down to get my Storm 2??
Suggestions anyone?
bigandy603 May 19, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I would say it's almost a sure thing that it's not coming out... but I'm not willing to take that chance.
statons May 19, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I sure hope that they don't forget us Storm 1 (God I hate saying that) users and come out with the Version 5.? Think they will?
jlong05 May 19, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Here is to hoping for a June 1 release! Count me in for this giveaway, It is about time I win something. :)
SnoopTodd May 19, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Would love to see it!!
_joshua May 19, 2009 at 5:55 pm
If it comes out in June, its VZW that should be giving away Storm 2's to everyone who bought Storm 1.
redMacht May 19, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Wow, crackberry sure does know how to throw a contest. I LOVE YOU CB!
SUPERDUTY04FORD May 19, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I love technology and have my Storm running like a Storm. It never fails me. From the leaked pictures of the "ODIN" (Storm 2), I am highly impressed. And with the WIFI ability, I would love to and will love doing nifty things with it. So sign me up, I am ready for an upgrade.
bobbyhank May 19, 2009 at 5:55 pm
WANT.
johnny50 May 19, 2009 at 5:55 pm

RJstorm May 19, 2009 at 5:56 pm

hoopstarrr23 May 19, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Crackberry rules!!!
Give me a Storm 2 that's just as good [so I can throw my Storm 1 down the STORM DRAIN].
...oh yeah, everything everyone else said plus one more PLEASE!
John Yester May 19, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Sure why not:) June would be nice:)
AidenCho May 19, 2009 at 5:56 pm
The chances of this being launched is very probable in terms of how RIM works now. Remember the launch of the 8900 Javelin for Rogers where no one had a clue until the the phones are shipped to the store? RIM is being very careful about their launch dates now due to the fact that it can hurt their current product sales. Storm 2 would be a really good upgrade to what I currently have (9530, I am definitely really curious on the whole thing on the phone, like there are no where which it contains any physical slide-out keyboard, but if there was I might tose my HTC Touch Pro from my demo line and substitute it with this. Overwhelm and shocked, but I am looking forward to this phone.
NYYankees925 May 19, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Count me in! :)
Natemz May 19, 2009 at 5:56 pm
But what the hey! I will take a storm 2.
FalconFan2k May 19, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Man, I hope the new Blackberry is released in June ( fingers and toes crossed)And hopefully all the bugs will be out so I won't have to do my best "Orkin Man" impression like I did on my Storm.... (he he)
Giopand May 19, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Damn I think this is one of the best contest I have ever seen in my life. I hope the BlackBerry Storm 2 goes out on June 1st so I can have 30 chances of winning.
I hope I win one.....
Persnickety May 19, 2009 at 5:57 pm
I hope it comes out June 1st so everyone else has 29 other days to win theirs.
brevdude May 19, 2009 at 5:57 pm
can't wait to see the new storm 2
Brickman#CB May 19, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Why fix Storm 1? Ship the second one and we can purchase it all over. Great business model.
WazzuKirk May 19, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Bring it on!! This is freaking AWESOME!!!
Snipes May 19, 2009 at 5:57 pm
I'll take one if it comes!
sthomasmusic May 19, 2009 at 5:57 pm
If this is true - ouch. But, consider this my contest entry. Thanks to this site for being so friendly!
sslobin417 May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
I'd love a new Storm, will the updates come quicker than the current Storm?
malice9999 May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
sign me up!
jlawler4 May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
And he said the Storm 2 is coming out on Friday! Oh man God only knows how many CB will have to give away now!
janglesjr May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
CB coming through again with another great prize...I'll hold my breath for this one.
john1210 May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
I really hope that the storm's surepress is changed because its the biggest issue that the storm has.(besides being buggy and slow) Can't wait!!!!
sfstorm May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Sign me up!!!!
gypsy76 May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
would love me a storm 2 please! :)
vlkers54 May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
For a first adopter of the BB Storm, here's hoping to a proper Storm 2...especially considering how we haven't received an official update since DECEMBER! Unreal and almost a slap in the face for Gen1 users.
ra2daj May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
i wants one badly
guinessmic May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Recently got the first edition and I love it so I would love an early upgrade to part 2, keep em coming!
swiz_4 May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
June 1 release cause i never win so ill need all 30 to do win.
Orio May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Wow ..this would absolutely be the BOMB prize !!!
lovelyxkill May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Ohh pick me
SFXBrandon May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
I WANT ONE!
Let us hope that it fixes all the problems I am experiencing with my first one.
mtbusiness May 19, 2009 at 5:58 pm
but I'll settle for an official update for the Storm I am currently using. If this rumor is true, they are more afraid of the pre than one might think.
rm_blogger May 19, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Personally I think it'll be November but hey, might as well enter!
jjohnn May 19, 2009 at 5:59 pm
wow, i'd love to win.
ttutko May 19, 2009 at 5:59 pm

kriptikchicken May 19, 2009 at 6:00 pm
New day, new Storm... same grubby fingers to operate it!
CoolCatGee May 19, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Storm2!
Emiliano81 May 19, 2009 at 5:59 pm
The Storm is the only BlackBerry I haven't tried, so...
skatz805 May 19, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Oh please pick me! I would be your friend if you chose me. (Actually I would be your friend anyway, I just like you like that)

I would love to see the storm 2 come out early! I just hope it is better than the first gen storm. Hopefully they will fix the processor speed and the battery life.
C0nsequence May 19, 2009 at 5:59 pm

Here is praying for a early June release for us, and for you well not a June release at all.
sdmilton May 19, 2009 at 6:00 pm

mucter May 19, 2009 at 6:00 pm

A college student,
Addicted to his BlackBerry,
Craves the second storm
As Student Body President, I am continuously using my BlackBerry to coordinate projects, check e-mail, reference documents, and read CrackBerry.com (of, course). I enjoy using my Storm immensely (being one of first in line to buy), and would appreciate the second version of this innovative device!
Please, please, please, select me! Thanks!
Nerdlife May 19, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Please almighty crackberry team choose me!
chriscoleman May 19, 2009 at 6:01 pm
I don't think it will be available within this time line, but heck, I'll take one just in case...hehe
cmvpjones May 19, 2009 at 6:01 pm
no chance vzw allows the storm 2 to launch in the same 2 month window as the 9630. but i'll still throw my name in the hat.
kokuryuha May 19, 2009 at 6:01 pm
let us hope for a quick release then! lol
nygolfmc May 19, 2009 at 6:01 pm
I hope it comes out in June and I hope I win 1...
bpderby#cb May 19, 2009 at 6:01 pm

kcken May 19, 2009 at 6:01 pm

sgillen May 19, 2009 at 6:02 pm
I needs me some WiFi!
PhantomS10 May 19, 2009 at 6:02 pm
I agree that it will be much later, but if it comes out in June, count me in.
CB.Mike-D May 19, 2009 at 6:02 pm
They need to stay true with their release date this time, and hopefully Im the very lucky winner.
STORM 2 YEAY !!!
fergie77 May 19, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Quite interested by such an early release, thought seems a bit soon tbh to have storm 2 developed not long after "The" Storm. I wouldnt be so bothered if I wasnt tied to this contract :(
wrpmission May 19, 2009 at 6:02 pm
i'll take one
Keegen May 19, 2009 at 6:02 pm
I'll be pleasantly surprised if this happens.
firems4289 May 19, 2009 at 6:02 pm
I love my Storm 1 (with the leaked OS installed that is) can't wait to see what the Storm 2 is going to be like! My wife will kill me if I buy another phone, so please give me one for free!
bearkat38 May 19, 2009 at 6:02 pm

SITH77 May 19, 2009 at 6:03 pm

foggylemon May 19, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Nope. No chance at all it's coming out in June. Don't even know why I'm posting.
ladyofelegance May 19, 2009 at 6:03 pm
I would love to see the BlackBerry Storm 2 emerge in June!!! A great summer surprise for all of us Berry addicts!!!
iggbastic May 19, 2009 at 6:03 pm
I'll take one! Give my girlfriend my storm...
How is it possible that verizon wont update the OS and the new one will come out...??
gkviper192 May 19, 2009 at 6:03 pm

jwjohnson#AC May 19, 2009 at 6:03 pm
I don't feel there is much chance for a June release, but just in case, here is my entry.
shabbasuraj May 19, 2009 at 6:03 pm
S2 will be released June 17th as per my discussion with a RIM employee last week in London ON.
Critta May 19, 2009 at 6:03 pm

Smittyn804 May 19, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Wow June!? That does seem quick. I hope it's true I would love to own a Storm to go along with my 8900!!!!
musikmaker19 May 19, 2009 at 6:04 pm
I would absolutely despise winning a new BlackBerry. Please, whatever you do, don't let it be me!
(Reverse psychology worked great for snow days when I was a kid, thought I'd give it a try).
toupet May 19, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Lets pray for a release on June 1st :P
lovelyxkill May 19, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Please
LordOfFreedom May 19, 2009 at 6:04 pm
When I went to Chicago, I tried typing a message on the first Storm, and it didn't seem as horrid as many people said it was. I am very curious as to the specs of the Storm 2... but hell, give me a storm 2, baby! *crosses fingers*
wdanker May 19, 2009 at 6:04 pm
I am due for a new blackberry too.
anappi311 May 19, 2009 at 6:04 pm

spyder91 May 19, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Though Verizon has yet to approve a second OS for the first Storm...here's to hoping!
grayzweb May 19, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Here's to a June release. That would be soooo cool
xmvl001 May 19, 2009 at 6:05 pm
for my contract renewal... but a free storm is even better!!! thanks CB!
Marauder2k9 May 19, 2009 at 6:05 pm
This device looks pretty sick, and this is coming from a pretty happy Storm 1 owner..
Here's hoping..
*crosses fingers*
Vince82 May 19, 2009 at 6:05 pm

NOT,,, I have doubts this won't happen but oh well.. Come on STORM 2
gojulas895 May 19, 2009 at 6:05 pm
New Storm? Awesome!
AtlBBStorm May 19, 2009 at 6:05 pm
I currently own a Storm, I don't really like it a lot initially as it's not quite as I thought it would be the iPhone competitor. However, after months of usage and with newer OS installed, I like it more and more. The downsides I found are the phone is still slower than what I expected, and there is no wifi capability. I would like to have a Storm 2 which rumors said to have a wifi function. Just hoping the initial OS wasn't as crappy as the Storm initial OS. God I hate .75.
sarcastic6 May 19, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Hmm, makes me wish I had waited instead of getting mine...
ReccaKun May 19, 2009 at 6:06 pm
lol 30 storm 2 give away, i like the sound of that
ArmyBerry May 19, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Storm 2. You can even take my Storm 1 in return!
Crazydude1405 May 19, 2009 at 6:06 pm
I WANT IT I NEED IT I WENT THREW 7 STORM 1S!! UGHH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEE LOVE U CB!
jlevy73 May 19, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Kevin you state that pre-production is slated for early next month. That makes no sense considering that pictures have already been posted of a fully functional Storm 2 with an OS. So not sure why you make a statement regarding pre-production unless the images posted were a fake.
c0rinne May 19, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Well, I'll be waiting with bated breath apparently.
vasaribm May 19, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Lets hope for a June 1st release!! Should be fun to see how all this plays out.
swong13 May 19, 2009 at 6:06 pm
This way verizon won't have to update the OS for Storm1!
-Steven
drmullins May 19, 2009 at 6:06 pm
I hope for a June 1st Launch. Count me in. Easy way to get out of my contract with Storm 1
lloydpdavis May 19, 2009 at 6:06 pm
i'll take one...
alva May 19, 2009 at 6:06 pm
A Free Storm2.... why not try.
Now that would be sweet!
JBezeau May 19, 2009 at 6:06 pm
hook me up
cpards May 19, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Thanks for the chance to win BB storm 2.
Cowadin May 19, 2009 at 6:07 pm
i would be surprised if this got pumped out that fast -- probably just a rumor to keep people from switching to the next gen iphone which should be announced/released in june as well..
we'll see!
moe95gst May 19, 2009 at 6:07 pm
hook it up with that storm 2!!!
onel0ve May 19, 2009 at 6:07 pm
This is such a sweet contest. Let's hope for June 1st. lol! Good luck to all the addicts!
onel0ve
nemo-maritime May 19, 2009 at 6:07 pm
Man this would be so nice. I am already pissed off that I bought the first gen storm with another one being so close. I need an upgrade with WiFi!!! Very cool of you to do crackberry, already feeling a little bit better =)
dcity May 19, 2009 at 6:07 pm

count me in
ace__05 May 19, 2009 at 6:07 pm
I've got the Storm 1 and would love to have the Storm 2. Newer is just about always better. Let's just hope the software is better this time around.
LikeTheMovies May 19, 2009 at 6:08 pm
So will I be able to turn in my Storm 1 for a Storm 2 since they decided not to update ours at all? I hope it's better.
Acousticgtarist May 19, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I'd really like to be a winner here. Please pick me if this does happen!
MetalPlates May 19, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Do want!
daidp May 19, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I love the storm so the storm 2 has to be great!
mrtechnology1312 May 19, 2009 at 6:08 pm
ooooo me want one!!!!!!!!
JuicyAmari May 19, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I got the Storm when it first came out November 21st and I was in line since 4:30am that morning to get it (the store didn't open til 7am). I was the 3rd person in line and they only had 10 in stock (talk about the early bird getting the worm or the storm in my case). The storm is my first BB and I am officially HOOKED/ADDICTED/CRACKED OUT on it! I need to keep my habit fresh and the Storm 2 would be perfect! Especially if they best site for BB users/abusers gives it to me! :-D
Darthstorm528 May 19, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Bring it on, let's see the early June 1st release of the Storm 2. Hearing good things about it.
pharmvol May 19, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I wants me precious.
