We’re pretty sure the BlackBerry Storm 2’s announcement is coming soon, and we just got a little more evidence: The not-so-loved original Storm’s price has just been dropped to $99 with a 2-year contract.

If you’re sure you need to stick with Verizon, this probably looks enticing, but we’d definitely recommend waiting. The Storm 2 will probably cost in the $150-250 range to compete with the iPhone, Pre, and various Android offerings, and for all we know, it might be great. Even the BlackBerry Tour might be a better option that the original Storm, which isn’t the worst phone ever but hasn’t exactly been a fan favorite either. [Verizon]

Word on the street is that the Curve 8900 is heading to AT&T and this BlackBerry will be available in stores in June. The phone will not come with any different features compared to the T-Mobile version so it won’t surprise you in any way. The prices for the 8900 haven’t been announced yet but you should expect AT&T’s Curve 8900 to cost as much as the T-Mobile version.

Yes, people, it is now confirmed that the Gemini is indeed the yet-to-be-official BlackBerry Curve 8520, that low-end smartphone we told you about a month back.  But the Curve 8520 being in the lower segment has not deterred RIM from slipping in a few surprises, which could become regular features in any upcoming BlackBerry smartphones.  The most glaring of these surprises would of course be the square-shaped optical trackball (something like Nokia’s navipad) which replaces the traditional trackball found on other RIM devices.  The edges are now padded with rubber with rubberized keys for better durability.  Ignoring the fact that this baby won’t be cruising any 3G waves, we definitely like what RIM has done otherwise.  Read on for a complete set of pictures, courtesy of CrackBerry, and feel free to comment!
