Finally, the wait is over. The first carrier has unveiled the BlackBerry Storm 2, which will be available later this month. Sorry to the folks in the US, because it’s not Verizon, but instead Vodafone, which owns a large stake in Verizon. This, of course, means we have plenty to talk about, and you know what that means: A glass of wine, your favorite easy chair, and of course this BBGeekcast playing on your home computer system. So go on, indulge yourself. That’s right. Kick off your shoes, put up your feet, lean back and just enjoy the BlackBerry talk. After all, smartphones soothe even the savage beast.

So the Storm 2 is coming. Now what? There’s still plenty to get excited about. Hey, we could even get a new BlackBerry announcement next week. That would be the 9700, a/k/a the Onyx, a/k/a the Bold 2. There are strong rumors that both AT&T and T-Mobile will announce the device next week. I’d say it’s almost certain that T-Mobile does, though AT&T shouldn’t be far behind, if they are at all. AT&T did release original Bold in white this week, making me wonder if they’re going to delay the 9700. But probably not.
What’s interesting for T-Mobile is that the 9700 is part of Project Black. This is a do-or-die deal for T-Mobile. They’re rumored to be getting a few super high-end devices. On top of that, they’re upgrading their 3G networks to 21Mbps, and could completely undercut other carriers with a $50 unlimited service plan. It’s a critical point for T-Mobile. Proper execution could move them up the ranks. If it fails, though, it could be the end of the company.
I’m just glad that the 9700 is part of the plan.

The post for the October 16th podcast seems malformed. My Podcatcher isn’t picking it up. Don’t know if its a problem with everyone else but just wanted to let you know.
@Tony – thanks for the heads up on the podcast link – I double checked it and it looks like everything is in order. Not sure what the issue is there.
