RIM launching a revamped Bold/Storm in 2009

I’m not kidding. Yes, I realize you are still waiting for the originals, and now you hear news of new and upgraded versions.  Apparently, there is going to be an announcement of a Storm-like device at WES 2009.  Granted, RIM doesn’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to launch dates, so you may want to take that one with a grain of salt.

That fact aside, it does seem like there is indeed going to be a new version of the BlackBerry Storm showing its face complete with U.S. HSDPA this time around.  Some are claiming it is going to be called the “Magnum,” but no official word on that just yet.  The Boy Genius Report was able to snag this leaked photo of the phone.  (thanks guys!)

And that isn’t all.  The leaks also indicate that RIM also has more tech goodies up their sleeve.  Pretty much the Bold revamped.  It has, get this, a touch screen—a QWERTY with a touchscreen. Watch out Palm, you’ve got competition.  Supposedly, it is Curve 8900-sized.  We’ll see if that information changes as the date gets closer.

Obviously, no pricing is available at this time…stay tuned for more details as we get them.
