Last time i posted an info about the release date of the BlackBerry Storm 2, it’s only said in Mid October. But recently someone claimed to work with Vodafone said that he has a confirmed release date of the phone and it’s October 19th. This date has been changed from previously posted as October 14th. And he confirmed that Vodafone and Verizon Wireless will release the phone in the same day.

The release date has been delayed due to the problems with the radio. See the quote below:

Revised release date - October 19th

Issue – Problems with the radio, i.e. high call drop rate. Stipulation has been made that it has to be reduced to the same level as the S1 before its accepted.

Enterprise or consumer release first - they will both be released on the same day.

VF and VZW alignment - yes. The aim is that both VF and VZW will be releasing on the same day.

OS – Unkown. As previously mentioned, it is currently running .253 so it just depends on how many more drops are required to fix the issue.

The guy aso said on the post that Vodafone plans to announce the Vodafone 360 service sometimes today. So let’s see and will update you when we have the info.
