Rumor: BlackBerry Storm 2 to get Wi-Fi

Damian Koh | Aug 12, 2009

It's a bit of a conundrum to write about a Storm when the sun is blazing outside. But the buzz in the rumor mill is that the BlackBerry Storm 2 will pack Wi-Fi connectivity, along with an October announcement. Both versions, the 9520 and 9550, are bound for Vodafone and Verizon, respectively, and will have Wi-Fi, a feature which was left out on the earlier Storm. From the picture, the individual keys on the control panel have been replaced with touch-sensitive ones that are flush with the screen. Otherwise, the Storm 2 looks almost like a copy of its predecessor. Now, what's even more interesting is that GSMArena is saying the new screen isn't clickable when the phone is off, but clickable when the device is on. Can someone explain to us how this works?
