Verizon CEO Gives Official Nod to BlackBerry Storm 2, Tour 9630

On top of claiming Verizon (NYSE: VZ) would get the Palm Pre in the near future (much to the disagreement of Sprint), VZ CEO Lowell McAdam has also confirmed that they would be getting the much-fondled Storm 2 and BlackBerry Tour 9630. McAdam placed the two devices along the same timeline as the Pre (within the next six months), and we’re already hearing the Tour will land this summer, so that means the Storm 2 could hit the streets any time between then and the early new year; fall would be a safe bet, if you wanted to spread them out evenly. At any rate, I guess we can talk about the devices a little more openly now, not that the lack of official recognition hushed our tones, or anything.
