Blackberry Storm goes live on Verizon’s Website
We told you it was coming (a day late but not a dollar short) and now it’s officially here! The Blackberry Storm has officially gone live on Verizon’s website for all to see in its glory. No other information about the handset. Just a pretty picture of the shiny, new touchscreen ‘Berry. But we’re still holding firm on our “about one week after November 1st” launch time frame, as told to us by multiple sources.




AT&T does NOT have a lifetime exclusive on the Bold. And it WILL go to other US carriers. The same will happen with this device also.
It depends on what Verizon has an exclusive on- if they have an exclusive on the “BlackBerry Storm”, that’s one thing. If they have an exclusive on the “BlackBerry Storm 9530″, that’s rather different… (Though both cases mean no Sprint)
However, considering all the Verizon/Vodafone talk in relation to this phone, my guess it’s the former. Though not all countries have a Vodafone affiliate, one example being Canada, so it won’t be VZ/VOD worldwide- RIMM isn’t going to lock out their home market from getting it.
It will go to another carriers in the future. It is exclusive to verizon this holiday for sure, but Rim will bring it to sprint, and t-mobile.
why did verizon pull the page? Anyone know?
Why does everyone think Rogers is getting this phone. If teh reports are right that Verizon/Vodafone are getting it then I can see Telus/Bell launching the unit. But why would RIM make a device with a different chipset for Rogers who run off a different frequency from Vodafone GSM…
Sorry American GSM users – enjoy your iphone and leave this one to us
@ATT Rep: I would be utterly shocked if the CDMA Javelin/Niagara (which will likely get Curve branding considering the KickStart got the Pearl treatment) did not have 3G EV-DO- RIM’s entire CDMA lineup is already 3G EV-DO, after all.
@BG
Good Call on the “about one week after November 1st”
Check out the crackberry website, just reiterated this info
Just went to the site and it is back and active. I guess I will be getting an email when it becomes available.
yeah, verizon needs to hurry and F$%^ up the launch. you people are fools. you would like to hurry the delivery and screw up the product.
These geek sites are rediculous.
I’ve been waiting too. Almost got a Curve.
But at the end of the day, I doubt I’ll be able to tolerate the touch screen.
Also don’t think buying RIM’s first attempt at such a paradigm shift is a great idea. The thing’s just GOT to be buggy.
Ok? This is funny!!!! Do SOME people really think that this phone will come out for other carriers? Let me ask a question, When the chocolate first came out for Verizon, they said “Only Exclusively for Verizon.” Look at today, is the chocolate available for other carriers? No!!!!! Join Verizon and get it but dont hope too much about a gms version coming out
VERIZON 4 LIFE MOTHAFUKERS….FUCK AN IPHONE STORM BABY……….
At the time of the Storm Launch Party BG said
“The 15th will not be the release date. I can assure you it will be very, very late November.”
So is this a typo or did something change?
