RIM’s mythical BlackBerry Storm 3 is one of those products that shows up every few months with just enough new information to have you believing that it’s real and it’s eventually coming before slithering back into the night, going totally radio-silent for another month or two. We’ve no doubt that the phone is real at this point, but considering the lukewarm reception the Storm 2 got, we’re surprised RIM hasn’t pushed harder to get the updated device to market — only thing we can figure is that the carrier partners keep sending it back for tweaks. Speaking of tweaks, BGR says that we can expect a phone with a 1.2GHz processor (same as the alleged Torch 2 ) along with a 3.7-inch WVGA display, 5 megapixel camera, dual-band WiFi with UMA support, mobile hotspot capability, and BlackBerry OS 6.1. Word has it there will be at least two versions released around the globe — codenamed Monaca and Monza — and it’s on track for a September release. That’s all well and good, though these specs aren’t going to blow anyone away as we approach Q4 ’11. BlackBerry Storm 3 shows up again, tracking for September launch? originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 14 Jan 2011 12:57:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink
