Early BlackBerry Storm 3 teaser for 2011 release

Earlier we had a peek of the new BlackBerry Trio – all new Curve, Bold & Torch slated for this year release. Now the BlackBerry Storm 3 breaks cover with some serious hardware upgrades to step up their game in the smart phone arena.

So what’s new with the Storm 3? Firstly it now features the highest resolution screen ever for BlackBerry with a 3.7″ capacitive display capable of 800×480 pixels. Just like the Torch 2, it is powered with a 1.2GHz processor. According to BGR, there’s a possibility of BlackBerry dropping the “Storm” name but it is still too early to tell right now.
