Not a week ago, rumors started spreading that Verizon cancelled the BlackBerry Storm 9570 which was basically a BlackBerry 6 capable refresh of the BlackBerry Storm2 9550.  It actually looks like, however, that Research in Motion has canceled the BlackBerry Storm 9570 for all.

Head after the jump to see what RIM had to say to a BlackBerry developer about their application intended for the BlackBerry Storm Refresh…

“Thank you for your hard work and diligence in preparing your application to support the upcoming hardware refresh of the BlackBerry Storm2 smartphone (model number 9570, codename R027). Regrettably, RIM has decided not to pursue this device further and has ended the program.

However, rest assured that you will have the opportunity to leverage the work you’ve put in thus far in preparing for the new OS, as BlackBerry 6 will be making its way to more Verizon products in the near future, including the BlackBerry Bold 9650 and the BlackBerry Curve 9330″

If not a BlackBerry Storm 9570, what other full touchscreen device does RIM have coming out.  Having used a touchscreen BlackBerry for last two years, I have no desire to go back to QWERTY or really even back to a SureType device.  I don’t gather that I am alone…
