You -really_ expect Verizon [or any carrier] to spec a Blackberry to contain both RevA -and- US-UMTS/HSPA? Are you stoned? ^What?

Oh well, I had it for a month and now have the iPhone 3G, the version of the latter should be stunning in a number of ways. That said, I'm a BlackBerry guy first and foremost. Do we know when we can expect more details about the two coming to AT&T?? Maybe some kind of Bold 2? With the higher resolution, and all the usual suspects when it comes to the above specs, an ETA, and more details about them would be great. RIM's kicking some serious ass these days, and the above don't even include the 9630 for Verizon, so FOUR new BlackBerry's. I am impressed! :D And again, NO 3G frequencies for the BB Storm 2.

Just seems like a combo touch screen with keyboard below is so much like Palm and the're almost dead. Why not more full touch units like the storm? Just fix the mistakes and give one to each carrier.

It could just be a randomly made-up one by a blogger so they can claim to have an exclusive, after all its not like rim acknowledge internal codenames for new devices. Another possibility is that when they have the same device going to multiple carriers at launch they want to track which one is leaking the info early. :-) “Now if only the providers would allow true vocie over wifi and not still ding us for minutes when we go wifi!”
