Blogs that publish leaked documents usually don't reveal their sources. The latest rumor which apparently comes from the Verizon employee internal intranet blog shows the "all channel release date" of the BlackBerry Storm 2 to be October 28.
A PDF file that sort-of-looks like a Verizon document hows the price before the Verizon $100 rebate to be $279.99. That's a twenty dollar drop from the first gen BlackBerry Storm when it was released later than it's original release date in November, last year. Stores are reportedly receiving their launch kits on October 24.
In forums, members are reporting the Verizon managers have gotten email notification of October 28 as the launch date.
The leaked BlackBerry Storm2 PDF file looks sloppy and
unprofessional it may be an early release or bogus. The document,
however, shows a photo of the original BlackBerry Storm.
It also shows that the BlackBerry Storm2 will come with premium headphones 
with a mic and media controller on them.
Someone found a BlackBerry Storm emulator on the Verizon website which is now either not available or no longer exists.
Reviewers liked the improvements over the first gen BlackBerry Storm and the addition of Wi-Fi in reviews of the BlackBerry Storm2. Everything is faster and the touchscreen keyboard is much more responsive. There a lot of great apps available for the BlackBerry Storm.
Yesterday, we reported that dummy units of the BlackBerry Storm2 were appearing at Best Buy and a virtual demo is available on the RIM website.
Then we called our local Verizon store and were told that the BlackBerry Storm2 won't be in stores until December!
