Everything BlackBerry

Finally, we can put the rumors to rest when it comes to the release date for the BlackBerry Storm. Verizon has confirmed that the BlackBerry Storm will release on November 21st both online and in retail stores. Price will be $199.99 on new 2-year contract after a $50 MIR.  We've also received word that Verizon will be packaging an 8GB microSD card with each Storm. This puts the Storm in line to compete with the juggernaut that is the iPhone 3G.

BGR has uncovered an internal Verizon document that details the release dates for the BlackBerry Storm. It seems the November 20th date we've been hearing is actually a "pre-launch" event for high end Verizon customers. This event is not for the general public. The on sale date for the BlackBerry Storm will be Monday, November 24th.

Stores will be opening one hour early than normal. Price according to the tipster is around $199 after MIR with a 2-year contract. The latest Storm is "incredibly stable" and the touch input is "very much improved". There you have it, the latest BlackBerry Storm release news. If and when we get the official word from either RIM or Verizon, we'll pass it along.

According to Verizon's test site, the BlackBerry Storm price will be $219.99 with a 2-year contract. Of course, there could be a rebate that we don't know about just yet. With just a few days to what we believe will the official release of the Storm, it's safe to say the price will be around $200, give or take $20. A small price to pay for the world's first touch screen BlackBerry.

Verizon is expected to release the much anticipated BlackBerry Storm on Monday, November 17th. Yes, it appears we are just days way from the release of the Storm. This news comes by way of a ZDNet who happened upon the info while speaking to a customer service rep. Of course, the rep could have the incorrect information, but here's what we know:

• Verizon has completed Storm training with their tech support staff
• The company is planning to make the BlackBerry Storm available next Monday
• There is pent up demand for the Storm from anxious folks with expiring contracts 

With the new Verizon BlackBerry Storm commercial making the rounds last night during primetime, it's safe to say the Storm itself might be ready for primetime. I happened to visit Best Buy today who gladly accepted my Storm pre-order, but they did not offer up any information on the release.

According to Verizon sources, the BlackBerry Storm release has been delayed until November 23rd due to a last minute software glitch that needed to be corrected. Sure that's big news, but even bigger news is the price. The BlackBerry Storm will be priced at $199.99 for individuals and "no more than $89.99 for businesses". RIM is serious about not losing business customers to the iPhone. Just weeks away from the release and the battle royale between the Storm and the iPhone.
