T-Mobile have confirmed to us that they will be selling the BlackBerry Storm 2 in the UK, with a provisional launch date of the beginning of February.

A timed exclusive on Vodafone, the BlackBerry Storm 2 is only the second touch-driven device from the Canadian manufacturer, refining the original technology by using electronic pulses as opposed to mechanical gubbins to provide physical feedback, as well as bringing a torrent of changes to the specs sheet.

The smart phone successor comes equipped with an improved version of Blackberry’s operating system, a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash, 2GB of internal memory and an important addition in the form of Wi-Fi connectivity.

With Vodafone securing only a three month exclusive for the device, the T-Mobile BlackBerry Storm 2 (as our sneaky pic proves) will be aiming to repeat the network’s earlier success with the brand, seeing the Curve 8520 sell particularly well on prepay.

Details on pricing are yet to be set in stone, but the magenta-loving network intends to release the Storm 2 for free on a £35 monthly contract, according to a spokeswoman.

UPDATE: According to Mobile News, the Storm 2 will be striking for a second time on O2, at a similar pricepoint and with a slightly earlier release date. So if you want a BlackBerry sans QWERTY, there will be a couple more places to snag one fairly soon…
