Travel Technology - Storm 2 - with WiFi - coming in September [rumor]

The rumors are all over the intertoobz this afternoon. The new device will have wifi, no "click" and generally a functional OS. It will also do your laundry and take out the trash.

I'm not sure that I actually believe the rumors, but it would be nice to have a version that is functional. I tried the original Storm and returned it shortly thereafter. I'd love an upgraded device, but I'd also like one that works. Maybe this will be it.

One of many posts about it: http://www.slashgear.com/blackberry-storm-2-due-in-september-has-wifi-0640236/

I just read that it will be out next month, all speculation anyway...;)

Which browsers are currently available for the Storm? BB, Opera, and Firefox/Fennec is supposed to be in development. Any others? The BB browser doesn't have the functionality I need.

But why would anyone chance the Storm 2 if there is a Verizon i-phone on the horizon?

I've been a Verizon customer for 15 years. I am switching this summer when the revision to the iphone is released. If Verizon does eventually get one I may switch back if they don't cripple all the great features (they almost always do).
