New photos of the alleged Storm 3 have appeared confirming the suspicions that it's a minor spec bump of the Storm 2. It's not clear if the BlackBerry 9570 will be called Storm 3 or something else, but more RAM, BlackBerry OS 6 and a new camera aside, there's little else that's new.
Here's a recap of what happened - photos of a touchscreen-packing BlackBerry appeared, with rumors that it was the BlackBerry Storm 3. It had a bigger screen and an optical trackpad - something that the first and second Strom phones lacked.
BlackBerry 9570 - is it Storm 2 or Storm 3?
But the first leak of a refresh for the BlackBerry Storm 2 was a slide with a photo and some specs and there was no sign of a trackpad. The new photos show that trackpad-less BlackBerry Storm 9570, so obviously that's the same device. It's yet unclear whether BB will try selling it as the Storm 2+ or Storm 3.
The BlackBerry Storm 9570
What RIM will end up naming the BlackBerry Storm 9570 and what will happen to that other "Storm 3" (the one with the trackpad) remains to be seen.
