Verizon officially confirms BlackBerry Storm and release date

By: Peter Chubb | October 8, 2008 | 8 Comments

Verizon have officially announced that they are to carry the Blackberry Storm, and have also announced a rough release data for the first touch screen Blackberry. The device will be offered through Vodafone in Europe, India, and Oceania.

The Blackberry Storm will give Verizon the perfect opportunity to show to us how 3G should work, as 3G has been working wonders with the iPhone 3G on AT&T. If all goes to plan, then the iPhone will not know what has hit them with the launch of the touch screen Blackberry Storm.

The Blackberry Storm from RIM features a touch screen with feedback, accelerometer-triggered landscape/portrait screen swap, and cut and paste feature. Expect the Storm to be out sometime late fall.

    I just went to Circuit City today at lunch and the “guy” told me he is pretty sure they will get it no later than November 23rd. He also said he expects the price to be somewhere betwen $199-$299 (with contract), which is about what every blog I read says…….
