A Jefferies analyst note recently discussed two upcoming Storm series devices. We have heard rumors that the Storm series will be killed from a marketing perspective, so perhaps these devices will be part of a new line entirely, or perhaps will be given individual names. In any case, it’s a little too early to tell.
The analyst report says we could see the launch of a non-haptic touch “Storm 3″ in late November, followed by the PlayBook which is rumored to launch in late February/early March. The non-haptic touch “Storm 3″ will be similar to the Storm2 refresh we’ve been hearing about which is rumored to be canceled (typical blog story: a rumored device is rumored to be canceled).
There is also a rumored BlackBerry scheduled for the first half of 2011, which has an “iPhone-like form factor, but slimmer” and could be running a QNX OS like the PlayBook. This would coincide with what RIM has said will be a full portfolio transition to the QNX OS, which the Jefferies report says will happen by the 2nd half of 2011.

MyFax let us know that they have launched an app that lets users access and view faxes from their BlackBerry. The app also lets you list your faxes, identify which ones are new, view your faxes, and get fax details including sender CSID, date and time received, and number of pages. The app requires you have a MyFax account and seems to be geared towards more small-to-medium sized businesses as the price point for the service is around $10 per month.
There aren’t a ton of BlackBerryCool readers from the Dominican Republic but these sort of posts are fun to put up anyways. It looks like the BlackBerry Torch will hit the Dominican Republic on the carrier Claro. The Torch will join Claro’s solid BlackBerry offerings including the 8520, 9000, 9700 and even the Pearl Flip.
