BlackBerry Storm3 shown in photo as the 9570?

RIM's BlackBerry Storm3, has shown up once again with its final numeric badge, 9570, in tow. What the final name of the handset will be remains to be seen, however, but the photo originally obtained by BBLeaks (currently down) is proof that the device is still on track and perhaps due out soon. The handset in this image sports 3G data and CDMA voice network support and has Wi-Fi built-in.

It will also ship with BlackBerry 6. Otherwise, it's likely to be a basic update in the BlackBerry Storm line, with a SurePress screen, 512MB of RAM and a five-megapixel camera. A 624MHz CPU will likely power the device, but there is the possibility that a 528MHz chip usually found in CDMA models will carry over.

Earlier leaks showed a 3.7-inch screen with a trackpad, though this has since been called into question. Other believed specs included 8GB of built-in storage and a Wi-Fi hotspot sharing feature.
