The BlackBerry Storm is going to run you $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate so your out of pocket price will be 250 bucks, $50 more than the iPhone, however, I honestly don’t think that will matter much. At least not at first. The BlackBerry Storm will sell like mad. Possibly better than any BlackBerry that has come before it and I personally cannot wait to get one.

Cell Phone Name or Chewing Gum Brand?
GeekSugar —
