BlackBerry Storm Priced, Dated & Rumored

November 5, 2008 in BlackBerry, Handsets, Verizon, Vodafone

We’re getting word in on the price and date of the BlackBerry Storm, something for which many, many Verizon fans have been patiently waiting. The winds are picking up and its only a matter of time before what’s brewing becomes what’s bangin.

Let’s start with the date: November 14th. At least thats the date that a Verizon insider tipped to Gizmodo. That date makes a lot of sense as it would coincide with changes to Verizon’s required data plan, something that all Storm owners would want… and now need.

The retail pricing after rebates and 2-year agreement discounts are still unknown but a BlackBerry Storm contest lists the prizes as (1) A BlackBerry Storm, (2) A $50 gift certificate for a total value of (3) $549 bucks. That means the BlackBerry Storm would be valued at $499 and after all those discounts you’ll be looking at a pretty competitive price.

Europeans shouldn’t be jealous at all as it seems a slimmed down GSM version of the BlackBerry Storm has just passed through the FCC and appears aimed at causing equal mischief abroad.

We’ve been following the BlackBerry Storm for a long time now. In fact, we were following it WAY before it was called the Storm… remember that Thunder name? And within just the past few weeks we had the joy of playing with the BlackBerry Storm ourselves.

Now we’re asking the Verizon and BlackBerry Storm fans to join us in our BlackBerry Storm Forum to get things rolling as one of the hottest handsets of the past few years is on the brink of doing a lot of damage to its mobile competitors!

  6. I've been wanting a Blackberry for a while now and almost got the Curve, but my company doesn't have a Crackberry server. Now with support for Exchange, I'm making the jump. Wanting to see what all the fuss is about .

    Ooh, where's my umbrella? Skies are looking a bit dark.

  8. Hot air? The only hot air I'm feeling is from the low pressure system off the coast causing dark clouds to form.      by chiefsmackaho

  10. I don't disappoint Lil' Miss. Only if I have to be honest and sincere will I not do it like I did just now on the November 24th launch date thread for good ol' Stormy.
