Although rumors are indicating a late September – mid October launch window for the BlackBerry Storm 2, we still don’t have an official release date, or, even an official announcement claiming that the BlackBerry Storm 2 is coming at all. This, however, hasn’t prevented Vodafone from preparing to sell accessories for their branded BlackBerry Storm 9520 whenever the device does get officially announced then released.
As you can see by the picture above Vodafone has SKUs for a BlackBerry 9520 Charging Pod and a 3 Pack of 9520 Skins in their inventory system. Hopefully it won’t be too long before we see SKUs for an actual BlackBerry Storm 9520 show up…

If you are scratching your head pondering, “Couldn’t you already hook your Vodafone BlackBerry Storm up to BES”, you would be correct in thinking that you could, however, this was only after you coverted your plan over to one that supports BES. Additionally, Vodafone wasn’t offering any direct to business sales.
It looks like, however, all that is about to change…
