Verizon hosting private BlackBerry Storm sale, we want in

29 Comments

No fair, Verizon. You’ve been hyping up the BlackBerry Storm 9530 with ‘leaks‘ and teaser videos ever since CTIA in September. You have the whole country crawling over themselves trying to find a solid release date for the Storm (which you cruelly refuse to provide us) so they can have it on day one, and yet you choose to offer a ‘private sale’ featured the ‘best prices’ for your ‘most valued customers’?

This is a pretty outrageous gesture and the entire BlackBerry Cool staff has only one thing to say to you: are we invited? Please and thank you.

Vodafone BlackBerry Storm 9500 to launch November 14th — super, duper confirmed

11 Comments

Vodafone BlackBerry Storm 9500

I’m sure this will make all of our UK readers happy. Yesterday we published Vodafone UK’s official launch date for the BlackBerry Storm 9500, November 14th, but noticed that their Storm pre-order page contained a November 18th date. After contacting Vodafone for clarification, we received this timely response:

Hello,

You will be able to go to store and buy a BlackBerry Storm on 14th November. The pre-order phones – and there are 1000s – will be despatched next week and we expect customers will have their pre-order by next weekend. The 18th is just a precaution in case customers are not in to take delivery of the phone at the weekend and delivery needs to be attempted again the following week.

Notice to UK BlackBerry Cool readers: stay at home to make sure you get your BlackBerry Storm!
