Although I would not say this adds any official confirmation, it looks like there may be some credibility to yesterday’s rumors on the BlackBerry Storm 2.  During the TeleVisie 2009 conference, Alain Segond von Banchet, who is a Channel Sales Manager for RIM stated that the follow up device was due to launch sometime around the end of 2009 or early in 2010.

Additionally, he also stated that it will indeed have an improved text input method, however RIM has not decided on just what that new method would be called.  Unfortunately, he did not offer any other specifics on how it would be better than the current version, of course, with the numerous complaints that we have seen, it stands to reason that it should be easy to improve upon.  As for the other rumored feature, the inclusion of Wi-Fi, that was not mentioned at all by the rep.
