It is getting very exciting now. BlackBerry OS had a tipster tell them that the BlackBerry Storm 2 9550 is expected to launch on Telus in less than 1 month. The report says that the Wi-Fi enabled device, featuring an improved version of the SurePress typing system, will be released on September 15th. This will mean that it will have been less than one year between the initial release of the first Storm last November, and the possible release of the sequel unit. Early video has revealed major improvements in the typing system and general responsiveness of the handset. No word yet on pricing, or whether any carrier will give current Storm owners a price break on upgrading to the new model.

*UPDATE*
A Telus commercial hints at something important coming September 15th. Better check the weather maps for a Storm 2 around that time.
