Citing multiple sources, N4BB.com is reporting that Research In Motion will drop the Storm brand name for its upcoming touchscreen slab devices. The upcoming BlackBerry 9850 and 9860 (codenames Monaco and Monza respectively) will either carry the new brand name ‘Volt’ or end up in the ‘Torch’ family (as the model numbers imply). It appears though that a final decision has yet to be made.
That the Storm brand name is headed for retirement is not new. That rumour surfaced along with the specifications of the Monaco back in January.
There is no word on availability and pricing yet.
