You just can’t keep a secret in the tech industry these days. Early pictures of T-Mobile’s Google phone leaked onto the Web the week before its Sep. 23 launch, and now images are surfacing online of another eagerly awaited device: a new handheld from Research in Motion (RIM), the BlackBerry Storm. RIM hasn’t officially launched the new device yet — and declined to comment on the leaks — but the Storm is clearly a direct assault on the Apple iPhone 3G and the T-Mobile G1. It’s also an attempt to wow consumers both with a jazzy new design and an App Center filled with games and other add-on programs.

On Saturday, an independent site called Boy Genius Report leaked a 17-page PowerPoint presentation that purported to show the touch-screen Storm, along with an App Center that will mimic Apple’s App Store and Google’s Android Market. The site followed up on Monday with a Storm user guide that we were unable to access — probably because too many other folks were attempting to do the same thing — but that was promptly re-posted on CrackBerry. RIM would not confirm that the leaked photos are of the Storm, but by Monday afternoon the images had been published and identified as RIM’s new device on a handful of sites, including ZDnet.com, Information Week, Gizmodo, CNET News.com and CrunchGear.

What’s so exciting about yet another BlackBerry? The brand has built a reputation as a secure and reliable, though somewhat stodgy, e-mail device for corporate types, but the Storm could help recast BlackBerry as a real and exciting option for consumers as well. Unlike most devices from the smartphone maker based in Waterloo, Canada, the Storm won’t have a physical keyboard, allowing for a larger, 3.2-in. touchscreen and a much neater appearance. And by letting users add a wide range of after-market applications, including Facebook, a blackjack game, and a GPS navigation program, it’s also a lot more fun to use. All apps can be downloaded via a built-in browser, but it is not clear whether the App Center can be accessed on older models of BlackBerry handhelds. The Storm is epxected to run on Verizon’s 3G network and also support Wi-Fi, so downloading the apps should be fairly quick. As an added bonus, the Storm will reportedly feature intuitive cut-and-paste functionality — a huge selling point for e-mail junkies who have long favored the BlackBerry brand.

Other noteworthy features include the built-in GPS, a media player, and landscape mode for viewing web pages horizontally and typing e-mails. (The iPhone 3G does not let you type emails in horizontal mode.) The screen is about the same size and resolution as the iPhone, while the built-in camera is slightly better at 3.2 megapixels, versus 2.0 megapixels on the iPhone. You can also record video — a featuring strangely lacking on the iPhone, but available on the forthcoming G1 from T-Mobile.

Feature-rich smartphones like the BlackBerry and iPhone are one of the few bright spots in an otherwise stagnant cell-phone market. Of the estimated 1 billion cell phones sold worldwide this year, over 181 million were smartphones — a number that is expected to more than double by 2011, according to ABI Research. One out of 10 cell phones currently has a touch screen.

RIM declined TIME’s request for comment on the leaked information about the Storm. But with a formal announcement expected by Wednesday, the Web buzz that began this spring about the hot new BlackBerry has turned into a roar.

With all the hype surrounding user interfaces following the iPhone launch, it doesn’t surprises many companies are launching their custom UI solutions. We’ve already seen quite a few similar Windows Mobile apps and today we’re presenting you an application that aims to enhance the active standby screen of a Symbian S60 smartphones.

Developed by Epocware, Handy Shell allows a user to customize home screen according to his/her wishes. Three views are available and so are five plugin options. In addition, the application takes over all functions of the S60 menu key, “while adding extra options or disabling the unnecessary ones.”

The idea is to provide a user with all necessary information, and also include shortcuts to most frequently used applications and contacts, at a glance.

Honestly, I can’t imagine many people paying $44.95 (39.95 EUR) to customize their S60 home screens this way, though I may be wrong.
