Inventory purge affects broadband devices

Verizon appears to be phasing out a variety of smartphones, including the Palm Pre Plus, BlackBerry Storm2 and Curve 8530. Although the Pre Plus had already disappeared from both the AT&T and Verizon online stores, the latest report suggests that the latter carrier does not plan to restock the device in its web-based store or retail locations.

Storm2 teased on Verizon website

The BlackBerry Storm2 9550 is nearing release in North America, and Verizon Wireless in particular, as it has been spotted on the website, albeit only as a 360-degree view. An earlier rumor had a release date for Verizon pegged at mid- to late November. The Storm2 will bring a 480x360 touchscreen and a new piezoelectric system that replicates physical feedback but still allows two-finger input.
