Today Engadget posted up a pic of what seems to be a confidential slide of some early information on RIM’s next Storm device. The slide is titled ‘Odin Refresh’ which suggests a minor update to the Storm 2 (Codename: Odin). The snapshot is very blurry, but from what I can see, the device looks cosmetically identical to the Storm 2.

Details include:
BlackBerry 6
WebKit Browser
512MB of RAM & up to 32GB SD card
5MP Camera with new UI
World Edition
802.11n WiFi
3G Mobile Hotspot (Coming Soon)

Something is blocking the bottom of the slide where it’s believed to be showing a release in a month ending in ‘mber’. A November/December release would definitely make sense considering RIM released the first two Storm devices around that time last year and the year before. With no sign of a live CDMA 9800 as of yet, it looks like this will be the CDMA touchscreen device RIM will be pushing for the next holiday season.

Now in the upper right hand corner of the snapshot, just under ‘STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL’, it says ‘Specifications Subject To Change’. There’s still 4 or 5 months before the projected release so it would not be surprising to see several changes before the official announcement. It’ll be interesting to see if RIM holds onto the SurePress screen amongst other things. Do you think there will be any changes? What would you like to see?
