Sunday night is slowing coming to an end and anyone who is bored might want to take a peak at this video. The video shows off the Niagara’s body and under the battery, however it seems the person was unable to get the device to boot up properly. The 9630 is running OS 4.7.1.10 which is a very early beta OS. No word on an expected release date just yet but stay tuned. Enjoy the video:

This has to be one of the coolest commercials I’ve seen for BlackBerry in a while. Looks like BlackBerry is literally taking aim at Apple. You can see the whole commercial here. Big thanks to Robb over at RIMarkble for showing us this. Anyone know if this commercial will ever make it on TV??
Storm owners be warned this hurts. This guy Jeff dropped his new BlackBerry Storm off his truck and watched it hit the ground hard. Overall the device is in pretty good shape with the exception of the display’s glass popping out. Amazingly enough the body isn’t damaged the battery door didn’t even pop off.

We’ve been contacted by the TELUS to let you all know that they have officially announced pricing for the Storm. Even though no official release date has been said, TELUS will release the Storm for $249.99 with three year term or $599.99 without.
Also here is a new promo video sent by TELUS showing off the Storm and the Canadian content you will find on it. Check out TELUS’ micro-site for complete details or to register to be contacted upon release – see telusmobility.com/storm.
TELUS had a private event the other day where editors from many popular Canadian blogs got a chance to go hands-on with the BlackBerry Storm. Our friends at MobileSyrup, BlackBerry Cool and HowardChui.com all got to check it out and let everyone know what they thought.
Doug from BBCool posted a written review as well a video showing off the Storm’s copy and paste feature:
For video reviews lets start with MobileSyrup’s video review:
Howard from HowardChui.com (HowardForums) also did a video review:
Our friends over at Mobile Syrup let us know that they got to spend some hands-on time a TELUS BlackBerry Storm. Here’s a blurb from the first part of their review “Overall, in our first review there is not much that we can say needs improving. The speed was good, accelerometer was responsive, music was loud (comes with a 3.5 mm headphone jack), the pictures we good quality and the device as a whole was solid.”
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.
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.
