“An interesting leak has appeared for all those eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Blackberry Storm 3. Some bright spark managed to sneak a picture of the specs during a RIM training session so we now have a good idea of what the handset will be capable of. It’s looking pretty good actually, here’s what we know so far:

• Blackberry OS 6
• Webkit browser
• 512 MB RAM
• 5 MP camera
• WiFi
• Support for using the handset as a 3G hotspot

Maddeningly the picture isn’t complete because some chap in front of the cameraman got his head in the way and blocked out the part revealing when the Storm 3 would be launched! What can be made out is “ember” so presumably the Storm 3 is going to be available sometime in the last part of the year, just not October.” via mobile-review.com
