Verizon's inventory system shows BlackBerry Storm 2 9550 and Curve 8530

It's always interesting to get a leaked photo of a carrier's inventory system. While all of the listings are not written in stone, it still gives you a good idea of what handsets might be coming down the road. In the case of Verizon, we see a couple of BlackBerry devices that many are interested in hearing about. The BlackBerry Storm 2 9550 is listed which dovetails perfectly with the expected release date of September 29th for business accounts and October 14th for the rest of us. Everything that we have seen from videos tells us to expect a better SurePress typing system than seen on the current Storm, plus Wi-Fi and a newer OS build. The Curve 8530 should be equipped with an optical trackball and Wi-Fi in a slimmer, sleeker case. Our crystal ball shows Verizon making a November launch of the 8530.
