BlackBerry Storm gets its FCC approval on
Things are starting to heat up in Verizon land and CDMA-hugging BlackBerry addicts just got one step closer to seeing the highly anticipated Storm become a reality. The FCC just posted fairly secretive approval documents for an unnamed handset from RIM. Oh you crafty government workers. A quick glance at the image above pretty much instantly eliminates all mystery – the button placement, the form factor, the SIM slot for when you need to get your international roaming on… Yes, it’s the Storm. Now that the FCC is out of the way we can all sit back, relax and wait for RIM’s touchy feely handset to drop next month. Woo!
One more step down! Now bring on the STORM!
Plz forgive my ignorance but will the storm be able to work on att network? I’m not familiar with the difs between the carrier networks.
It will technically work, if you get it unlocked, but knowing Verizon, it’ll be locked to an international Verizon SIM-card. Maybe they’ll be nice and have it unlocked, but highly unlikely.
IIRC, Verizon employees at a corporate store are required to unlock the Storm at a customers request.
*yawn* another storm news. its getting boring now… the only post i would care looking at are either official release date and/or pricing.
I like the idea of the device and will be in store to test it out but the videos that came out look like the thing is going to be a pain when it comes to typing.
It won’t be on AT&Ts network. However, it will work on AT&T if you someone found someone who could unlock it, which would be the challenge.
What about t-mobile can you get it on there network ? If so pleeze tell me?!
I disagree – I think the videos that are out make the typing look easier than other touchscreens.
I guess we can only wait and try it out and make up our own minds
I have t mobile can I buy a blackberry storm and use all of its features. I mean al of its features and how do I unlock it?
