So Verizon has halted all BlackBerry 6 testing on the BlackBerry Storm 2 9550.  There’s a few different possibilities here as to why this has happened.  One which is the most obvious is the lack of memory the Storm 2 has.  When I say “lack,” I mean not enough to support BlackBerry 6 (OS 6).  If this is true, supported devices for OS 6 does not seem to be what we thought it would.  Surely there’s many Storm 2 users out there, but there are a lot more Bold 9700 users.  Seeing things like this as a 9700 owner makes you bite your nails a bit when wondering if OS 6 will support it or not.

The other day, we saw a new Storm with higher specs in a slide show image.  We are not sure if this is indeed the Storm 3 or instead a revamped Storm 2.  With the rumors floating of a Bold 9700 with 512MB instead of 256MB floating around, we’re not so surprised seeing a Storm 2 come about with higher memory and perhaps a few more other specs.

Personally, I’ll go ahead and blame it on the 256MB for now until we get more news as to what’s going on with Verizon’s device roadmap.  For now we have to keep this low as a rumor until more official facts surface.
