Multiple sources have confirmed to Pocket-lint that Vodafone UK’s upcoming BlackBerry touchscreen (BlackBerry Thunder/Storm/95XX) will now drop the Thunder name in favor of the ‘Storm’.  It looks like the thought of taking the world by Storm was just too tempting for Vodafone when the BlackBerry 95XX series hits the UK.

Hitting the shops at the end of October, the multiple industry sources, who have all asked to remain anonymous, have also confirmed to Pocket-lint that the new smartphone from RIM will be available before November in time for Christmas, with an official announcement from RIM, the maker of the BlackBerry, due at the start of October.
