Verizon Confirms BlackBerry Storm

A few days ago, we mentioned that Verizon Wireless had emailed their employees about an exciting announcement. Storm clouds were a sure fire giveaway that it was certainly something BlackBerry Storm related. Verizon has indeed launched www.verizonwireless.com/storm, but it's nothing more than affirmation that the Storm exists and allows you enter your email address for more information when it's availalble. As of now, still no official release dates from Verizon, but stay tuned and we'll of course pass along info as it becomes availalble.

 


Verizon has been circulating an email internally that hints at exciting news coming on 9.15.08. The email reads, "We've got some exciting news to share...". Sources point to Verizon launching www.verizonwireless.com/storm, followed by a product launch of the BlackBerry Storm on November 1st.



The BlackBerry Storm has reportedly entered Verizon's TA (technical acceptance), which normally takes 3-4 weeks to complete. Internally the device has been delayed 3-4 weeks while they work out the kinks. This puts the release date for the BlackBerry Storm at mid-November. You can bet that Verizon will look to get this device into stores before Black Friday. Look for a major ad push when it releases.



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.
