Verizon BlackBerry Storm Sees Delays
IntoMobile - Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis —
Tepid reviews and limited stock have done little to fizzle BlackBerry Storm hype in the U.S., as lines still stretched out the door of many Verizon stores on launch day. Unfortunately, those at the back of the line who had to resort to back-ordering a device will now have to wait until as late as December 15th. before it’s even shipped. There are some theories floating around that the shortage is due to an insecure OS (4.7.0.82) coming with the initial shipment, then getting pulled so devices could be downgraded to 4.7.0.65. Maybe it will take Verizon up to mid-December to get all the devices running .65. One way or the other, it looks like Canadian carriers ...

Verizon Storm shipment date pushed up to December 8th
Boy Genius Report —
Whatever the case with the BlackBerry Storm OS / Sticker debacle from Verizon, it looks like everything is going to be ironed out a bit ahead of schedule. Verizon’s website now shows an online order shipment date by December 8th, bumped up slightly from the previous date of December 15th. The listing on the site still shows the Storm as having limited availability, though it’s hard to say if we’re talking real limited availability or marketing limited availability. Limited availability of your most highly-anticipated handset release of the year, right before the holidays? Either way, if you’re in the market for a Storm but the idea ...

Verizon Practically Giving Away the BlackBerry Storm
Berry Reporter —
It's not a huge surprise that Verizon Wireless has decided to drop the price of the BlackBerry Storm, after all the Storm 2 is only a month away. What is a surprise is the price ($49.99) and the free BlackBerry that comes along with it. That's a pretty good deal if you ask me but what's the catch here, is the Storm inventory really that high? It would certainly seem that way and it definitely makes a hard decision for someone looking to by a BlackBerry. They could hold out for the Storm 2 which is due sometime in October or go with the deal and have the Storm plus another high quality BlackBerry.
The "Buy One Get One Free" deal lets you choose between four ...

Is a New Storm is Brewing at Verizon? Storm for $50!
Mobility Site —
I would have to say yes… Verizon is unloading the Blackberry Storm for $50 right now. Are they making room for the new? Chances are… Yes.
There has been quite a few leaks on the Storm 2 lately, that should be a good indicator that something is coming soon right? In fact, there have been some really official looking leaks too. There was a screenshot posted at Crackberry (it’s been taken down now) that show a release date of the Storm 2 for Verizon business users 9/29/09 and the rest of the users on 10/14/09. The document has been taken offline, but those dates line up pretty good with Verizon blowing out Storms for $50 now.
