There had been rumors floating around that the BlackBerry Storm 2 could come out as early as this month and that it would definitely be out by the end of June, however those dreams have been dashed as Lowell McAdams, the top executive for the venture of Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc, officially stated in a webcast earlier today that the BlackBerry Storm 2 would come out on Verizon in about 6 months.

This pushes a release of the the next touch screen only BlackBerry to a late Fall if not early Winter release at the earliest.  I just hope that Verizon certifies an OS update for the original BlackBerry Storm before then…
