Default Blackberry Storm

Anyone have any info on when this badboy is gonna be coming out?

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

Anyone know what this thing is gonna cost cause I wanna upgrade out of my 1st gen enV already?

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!...

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.

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

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.
