As RIM and Vodafone has announced BlackBerry Storm2 few days ago, the device ships with OS 5.0 meaning new APIs and features are available to the developer including the new widget. You can find the new tech about widget here and new APIs for BlackBerry OS 5.0 here. BlackBerry Java Application Development v5.0 Beta 4 are available here.

Like the original BlackBerry® Storm™, there are two models of the Storm2 – one designed for North American CDMA networks and one for the rest of the world.  Both products support GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA with the CDMA product also supporting CDMA/EVDO.  This means the product supports 3G networks worldwide. From a developer’s perspective, here is what you need to know about the new BlackBerry Storm2.

• Navigation with SurePress™ touch screen
• 480 x 360 screen resolution
• 3.2 MP Camera with Auto Focus
