Verizon will be the first US carrier to deliver the BlackBerry Storm and it's expected to be on shelves sometime in early November. Outside of the US, the standard is GSM and the Verizon Storm is CDMA flavored, so where does that leave the rest of the world. It appears that RIM has GSM version of the Storm already in the works as evidenced by the leaked datasheet. This could be marketed as the Thunder, but it's definitely in the BlackBerry 9500 family.

Originally rumored to be the BlackBerry Thunder, RIM's first touchscreen BlackBerry will debut under the moniker BlackBerry Storm 9530. Expect the BlackBerry Storm 9530 later this year on Verizon Wireless. Wow, Verizon first to score a new BlackBerry. That's usually reserved for AT&T, but I'm sure they'll have their hands full with the BlackBerry Bold release. Engadget reports that the Thunder branding is not dead just yet, with Rogers and Vodafone releasing the 9530 as the Thunder.
