Earlier last week a leaked Verizon roadmap for 2010/2011 surfaced pointing to new BlackBerry devices being released in October, and even a tablet in November. Keep in mind that this roadmap has not been confirmed, but it does invoke interest. Among the devices to be released is the Storm 3 9570 with a  SurePress touchscreen, and running the latest BlackBerry 6 operating system. This contradicts rumors of the Storm 3 ditching SurePress and introducing its own unique operating system.On a brighter note, sources  report that RIM will be adding a mobile hotspot feature to the Storm 3 as well.  Not all bad, so far.

The roadmap goes on to state that RIM will also be introducing the BlackBerry Curve 3 9330 to Verizon customers. I see no real benefit that the Curve 3 offers over the 8530 other than BlackBerry 6. The specs are exactly the same on both devices. The chrome bezel is a nice touch though!

If this roadmap turns out to be spot on, it looks like this could be a big waste of time and money for RIM. I truley hope that this turns out to be fake,and RIM blows our minds come October. What are your feelings on the supposedly leaked roadmap for Verizon? Do you look forward to what RIM is palnning, or is this more of the same ol’, same ol’? Sound off below in the comments.
