Salomondrin.net got the inside scoop on what RIM has in store for their 3rd generation Storm. What is known so far is that the Storm 3 is set to have a 1GHz processor, 8GB internal memory, 1GB of app memory, 5MP camera, newer version of SurePress, set to be Verizon’s 1st or 2nd LTE (4G) device, a customized OS for the new Storm w/ widget support, and the don’t expect too many body changes if any at all. Hopefully that can entice Storm owners to start salivating for RIM’s latest in touchscreen BBs. RIM really has to get on the ball with their specs of newer devices. Although they really attracted a lot of consumers with the Pearl & Curve series, RIM has definitely fell behind seriously in the consumer game. By the time this is released, these specs may already become obsolete. More on the specs below.
1. Its being tested by a very limited team (preventing leaks).
2. The phone’s shell is still the Storm 2’s shell with different guts though (To make it hard to identify if the phone is lost or photographed).
3. It does have a 1ghz processor.
4. 8 GB internal memory.
5. 512MB flash memory was what they saw first, but apparently they are now playing with these test phones and have over 1GB of flash memory.
6. It won’t run on OS 6.0. Its gonna be running on an OS of its own. <– Really exciting
7. The phone does have the ability to run widgets and you can personalize it A LOT.
8. 5 MP camera still on it as off now, but like we saw on the 9670, this can change.
9. The screen will be something new we haven’t seen yet (new input mechanism) ,but it won’t work like the Storm 2. Yes, it will have SURE-PRESS, but I’m not sure how they are archiving it this time.
10. Its gonna be Verizon’s 1st or 2nd LTE phone. They aren’t sure if the Android phone will be first or the Storm at this point.
