Upcoming BlackBerry releases for Verizon: Tour, Pearl Flip, Atlas and Storm 2

A few people have asked me who would be getting the Storm 2. Well, here’s your answer .

One of BGR’s new ninjas sent in some information regarding Verizon’s upcoming BlackBerry releases. Check it out:

• All Verizon BlackBerry handsets launched after the BlackBerry Tour will have Wi-Fi
• The Storm 2’s screen does not press in like SurePress, rather it operates more like traditional capacitive touch screen panels. We’re not sure if the rumored TruePress is just localized haptic feedback or what, but we can’t imagine RIM abandoning their entire selling point on the Storm.
• We have no idea what to think of this part, but, our tipster said the BlackBerry Tour would be accompanied by a BlackBerry Atlas with the Atlas having Wi-Fi, not the Tour. Again, don’t flip out, but it’s just what was told to us by this particular tipster.
• BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 release is “imminent”. We’d say May release, June latest.
• 8230 specs… EV-DO Rev. 0, 2.0 MP Camera, 3.5 ounces, Flash 128 MB, RAM 64 MB, SD Card – Expandable to 16GB, Usage/Standby – 220 min. / 216 hrs.

BG believes this new ninja to be credible and he tends to be on the right track with leaks. As for the BlackBerry Atlas…this was kind of randomly thrown into the mix. I’m surprised there hasn’t been a lot of information about the Atlas if it’s supposed to get released along with the Tour.
