    Specs Re-Imply Blackberry Storm 2 Will Probably Forgo Clicky Touchscreen

    Additional BlackBerry Storm 2 specs out this morning would appear to all but re-confirm our earlier news that the soon-to-be-released smartphone is ditching the problematic click touchscreen, and will add some much-desired wi-fi goodness.

    The info also indicates the Storm 2 is officially the BlackBerry 9550, complete with this:

    - CDMA 1xRTT/EVDO Rev. A
    - Quad-band GSM/EDGE
    - Single-band UMTS/HSDPA (2100MHz only)
    - Wi-Fi b,g
    - 3.2 megapixel camera
    - 360×480 resolution capacitive screen
    - OS 5.0

    We had originally thought the Storm 2—er 9550—was going to arrive in June at Verizon, maybe, but that obviously didn't happen. Shall we try "sometime in July" on for size? [BGR]
