Vodafone will be selling the BlackBerry Storm2 phone on October 26 for pre-order. The phone will be free as long as you sign up for a monthly contract at £35+. The specs of the Storm2 includes a 3.25″ 360×480 pixel capacitive SurePress display, 802.11b/g WiFi, 256MB flash memory, 2100MHz UMTS/HSPA data, 2GB memory, Bluetooth 2.1, and a battery that supports 6 hours of 3G talk-time. The phone will be powered by the BlackBerry OS 5 operating system. On October 15 the phone will be available in Ireland, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, France, Italy, South Africa, and the U.K.

Oh snap!  Some pictures of the BlackBerry Storm 2 have been leaked and a source of Crackberry.com got a hold of them.  The pictures spread from there and were posted on several websites.  Here are a couple of pictures from Engadget.

The BlackBerry Storm 2 is expected to have WiFi, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and have the same bottom four buttons as the original Storm.  None of the leaked screenshots have a picture of the operating system running so we can’t really say what will be powering the device yet.

The original Storm suffered bad reviews and was not really seen as an ‘iPhone killer’ as people were making it out to be before release, but it was the third most popular device sold in the U.S. during 1H 2009.
