Here come the Verizon BlackBerry Storm Reviews!!

By James on Nov 20, 2008 in BlackBerry, RIM, Reviews, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon, Videos.

Verizon’s official launch date is tomorrow (November 21st) for the BlackBerry Storm. A ton of unboxing and actual reviews have surfaced.

We will start off with Boy Genius who has both a Vodafone and Verizon BlackBerry Storm in hand. Here is a sniplit from his conclusion “…At the end of the day, if you’ve been eyeing the Storm, we suggest you either go play with a demo unit at a store, or go ahead and buy one. That way you’ll be able to decide for yourself if you really love the thing, or maybe just don’t care for it. This isn’t a cookie-cutter device, and it’s not for everyone. That said, we’re sure these things are going to fly off the shelves at Verizon stores on Friday, we just have a feeling there will also be a lot of returns.” Read the rest of his review here.

Kevin from CrackBerry also got his hands on a Verizon BlackBerry Storm to unbox. He actually flew down to New York to pick this bad boy up (a true addict!). Here is his unboxing video:

Another great review review (over 20 minutes in length) by the folks at MobilityToday.com:

One thing the BBSync team noticed and was kind of disappointed by is the lack of premium headphones in box. I personally was hoping to see headphones similar to the ones found with the BlackBerry Bold. Of course you will be able to purchase them afterwards.

Other reviews: PhoneScoop, Engadget and Gizmodo.

Great hands-on video of VZW BlackBerry Storm

By James on Nov 18, 2008 in BlackBerry, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon, Videos.

Another week, Another BlackBerry Storm video. This time some lucky person got a change to sit down with a Verizon branded BlackBerry Storm 9530 and do everything to it. The video shows how to take out the battery and use the phone. It’s just another video in the BlackBerry Storm collection. The good news is Verizon customers only have to wait a few more days before they get their hands on one of these bad boys! Enjoy.

Verizon Storm pricing revealed? or copied form 8830?

By James on Nov 11, 2008 in 8800 series, BlackBerry, Rumors, Storm 9500 Series, USA, Verizon.

Verizon has a test site known as “testman” which previews different parts of the website before its officially updated online. Well if you take a peak over at the site it seems that they have put the BlackBerry Storm on the site and have all the pricing ready.

Here is a breakdown of what the prices are currently showing on the VZW site. One thing we should note is that even though it says BlackBerry 9530 World Edition at the top the description does talk about the 8830 World Edition and if you look at the pricing for the 8830 its exactly the same.

$219.99 with two year contract
$289.99 with one year contract
$519.99 with no contract / month to month

So this is looking good for a release very very soon. Stay tuned for an official announcement from Big Red aka Verizon soon.
