I'm getting impatient and there isn't any info on Verizon's website either... :tap:

I want one! :( Sadly I don't know when or if T-Mobile will get it. Should be possible since the Storm, at least on the BB site, says it supports GSM&GPRS which Cingular and T-Mobile run on.

I fear for how expensive its going to be though.

^^^I think that the Storm is exclusive to Verizon only?

I just saw a commercial on tv for it. It says, "Coming Soon".

Bastards!... :tap:

I sell Bolds at work. Those things are 10x better than the Storm. I got a Bold set aside for me at work...perks of the job.

Any questions about either phone and I'll answer them.

I was going to pick up the Bold this past friday but I wanted to ask around before I drop $300+ for one. What are the Pros and Cons about it? And is it really worth it?

Bold: Fastest Blackberry to date, bright and vivid display (like a little HD screen on a phone), 3G network, Wi-Fi capable, 1 GB built in memory (upgradeable to 32 GB), speakerphone, multi-tasking (talk on phone and surf the net, check emails and use GPS. Storm is not multi-tasking), long battery life, easier to text, video recorder, built in camera...now with a flash. Definitely worth the wait!

^Also you have the option to get insurance on the phone, whereas the Storm and iPhone you cannot get any insurance on them.

Storm is supposedly coming out on the 16th or the week after...if it doesn't come out before black friday, they're stupid

I've been hearing the 16th/17th or 28th. I just ordered a Curve to hold me over since my phone's charger port broke and I need a phone. My Curve comes tomorrow so if the Storm comes out and I can get a hold of one, I'm gonna jump on it haha

Battery life on the 3G sucks. 3.5 - 4 hours. Great phone but diappointing battery life.

FLEA sounds like a nerd now :roll:

G1 looks.. ok, I've played with one and the stationary buttons at the bottom of the phone are annoying when you move the screen out.

Does anyone know if tmobile is going to carry the Bold? I really want one from them.

haha I was gonna say that would be a pretty bad move on BB's part

Even if they don't you should be able to buy an unlocked Bold and run it on T-Mobile :)

I wanted to get the Storm a while back when I first heard about it, but I'm stuck in my contract until January '10 and can't reasonably upgrade until then. I've been sick of this piece of crap LG Voyager since I got it.

The highly anticipated Storm will be available in Verizon stores and online on November 21 and here's the part that got me: it will go for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate.

:bow: Blackberry FTW :bow: , i like my BB curve but i'll have to wait for a while until it's time for the upgrade...until then i will do some research the bold and see the pros and cons of it since i have AT&T.
