Rumor has it Verizon will be launching the BlackBerry Storm 2 sometime in September 2009. It will reportedly feature WiFi, a 5 megapixel autofocus camera, 1GB of RAM, a HD-like quality screen.

In comparison, the current BlackBerry Storm has the following:

• No WiFi capability (What a real letdown! What was RIM thinking?!)
• 3.15 megapixel autofocus camera
• 128MB of RAM
• 3.25-inch screen with a resolution of 360 x 480

While the WiFi, camera and screen upgrades are certainly likely. I highly doubt that the BlackBerry Storm 2 will get 1GB of RAM. Touchscreen improvements have also been mentioned. I think they will be tweaking response time and overall usability of the screen since the Storm was their first touchscreen-based device.
