BlackBerry Storm 2 spotted in Vodafone Germany's systems

There's little doubt that the Storm 2 is real, but where's it going, exactly? Not long after its debut in some 1960s-era Verizon mainframe that occupies two and a half acres of rural real estate in an underground bunker in North Dakota (we totally fabricated that, by the way), the phone has shown up in a Vodafone Germany computer of similar vintage and unfathomable size. RIM's latest attempt at the touchscreen craze is undoubtedly being pursued with some vigor by the world's top-tier carriers, and it makes sense that all of the original model's launch partners -- Vodafone Germany included -- would have first dibs. No word on a launch date, but we take it as a good sign that everyone's feverishly entering this stuff into inventory databases now.

I'm curious what exactly that entry at the bottom, "BB Storm 2 swap", represents. My dream would be some awesome swap deal for unhappy Storm 1 owners.

Apparently there is some more interesting stuff going on from Vodafone and it doesn't seem to be just about Blackberry... Got some screenshots here... People Service or something
