BlackBerry Storm 2 Launched in Europe

”Storm”-chasers can finally rejoice. The BlackBerry Storm 2 has made its first official appearance, available for pre-sale in several European countries today, making this prediction more than a month ago almost spot-on.

Vodafone is the initial carrier. Customers in The U.K., Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, France, Italy and South Africa will be able to get their hands on the new smartphone soon.

The Storm 2’s debut in the U.S. remains uncertain, with most predictions being between next week and Thanksgiving.
