Miles away
It’s all looking pretty good for the BlackBerry Storm 3 apart from the release date which is set impossibly far into the future, at September this year.
We may as well made it all up
It’s also worth bearing in mind that with a release date so far ahead, there’s a pretty good chance that the specs may alter radically before release.
Come to think of it, the whole design could change completely too, so we’re now beginning to wonder why we bothered posting this up.
Oh well, it’s a Friday and we’l be down the pub soon.
