After spending time with the BlackBerry Storm during BBDC, it was a little hard to leave it behind. Thankfully, I did so with full knowledge that it would be returning to my awaiting hands very soon. Here’s the latest in BlackBerry Storm launch rumors for a variety of carriers:
PhoneArena is reporting that Verizon will begin selling the BlackBerry Storm in corporate Nov 15th and the following day at BestBuy locations. Ever since our initial Nov 4th post, the release date has been pushed back one day at a time. While we’ve been currently hearing the 19th from our sources, it’s close enough to not matter too much.
BlackBerry News seems to be wavering back and forth between a November 7th and 11th release date for the Vodafone BlackBerry Storm. CSRs place pricing at around £350 ($538 USD). Please take a look at BBNews’ photos for this post, it made my day.
As we reported earlier today, it appears that Bell may receive the BlackBerry Storm on November 21st, shortly after the two releases above. I wonder if Telus will try to undercut them by releasing on the 20th.
Canada is casting their vote today for who will be the next Prime Minister of Canada. I will be going to vote in a couple hours and much like Jewish people will ask themselves, “which candidate is best for Israel?” I will ask myself “which candidate is best for BlackBerry?” I’ll let BlackBerry Cool readers decide who I vote for, just give me your reasons.
BlackBerry is proud to be Canadian-made. I know, I asked one recently. I want to vote for the candidate that will spread this wonderful Canadian smartphone all over the globe for everyone to enjoy. Also, I want the candidate that will improve my BlackBerry experience. Subsidies, tax breaks, trade negotiations and underhanded bribery will be the tools which my candidate will use to make the BlackBerry the most widely used smartphone on the market. Who will it be?
The BlackBerry Storm will be coming to Canada on both Bell and TELUS. According to TELUS, they “will be the first in Canada to offer consumers the revolutionary BlackBerry Storm 9530 smartphone from Research In Motion. The addition of this world edition smart phone to TELUS’ line-up cements TELUS’ position as Canada’s smartphone leader with the most smartphones on Canada’s largest 3G network.”
Also, BlackBerry Cool commentor LouTreize has tipped off our site that the BlackBerry Storm will be coming to Bell as well in Canada!
