It’s that time again ladies and gentlemen and we are please to bring you today’s Morning Mobile Minute. The BlackBerry Storm 2 is back in the headlines thanks to a brief appearance on the Verizon Wireless website. The device was spotted on the site in full 360 degree action early this morning, but at the moment it looks like the carrier has pulled the plug on the page (check back soon).

More details have surfaced surrounding the upcoming T-mobile Project Dark launch. The first plan will be called ‘Even More’ and it will require a contract but you will receive a discounted handset.

And last this morning is a rumor that At&t will begin selling the HTC Hero in early 2010. We saw the GSM HTC Hero pass by the FCC database with At&t 3G bands not too long ago so an At&t launch was expected. The source of the rumored release date comes to us via a PhoneArena tipster who works for At&t building firmwares for upcoming devices. Hopefully the ‘early 2010′ prediction holds true, we know how bad At&t needs an Android device.
