Verizon Wireless is getting ready to launch a new RIM smartphone, BlackBerry 9530 Storm. The smartphone seems to be the same as what was previously known under the name of BlackBerry Thunder or BlackBerry 9500. It’s RIM’s first touchscreen device and it should hit the market by the end of 2008.
A recently leaked image gives us precious details about the smartphone: an 8GB microSD card and a 3.5mm headset jack. These aspects aside, the BlackBerry Storm should be a great multimedia device, but little is known about its actual capabilities.

Motorola Blaze ZN4 should be soon released by Verizon in the US. Though the new handset has not been announced yet, some live images have appeared at PhoneArena.
Coming in a clamshell form factor, the Blaze ZN4 should bring CDMA EV-DO connectivity as well as a set of mid to high-end features: built-in GPS, full HTML browser, advanced media capabilities and a 2 Megapixel camera.
The clamshell sports a semi-transparent flip cover that protects its internal display, which is not an ordinary one, as it’s touch-enabled, representing the only way that users can interact with the handset’s functions (thus the Blaze is a keypad-less device).
There are no details about Motorola Blaze ZN4’s price and exact release date for the moment.
