u lucky b***h....i guess imm just waiting until Dec 8th for my NEW EVERY 2 so hopefully ill be able to get it for just $50 bucks but by then the Omnia might be out so it might be a hard decission ....i have been watching countless videos of all these phones and im almost certain that THE BLACKBERRY STORM HAS THE BEST ACCELEROMETER TO DATE!!!!

even with a 100 ne2 it would still be 99 after rebate.. tard.. the full cost on the phone is almost 500 and it will not drop(under 250) untill at least after christmas

WiFi is a dealbreaker for me, so no Storm.

With a BB you have to have the internet package & the storm is rev A & Verizon's 3g coverage area is huge. so that was kind of dumb

i think yes. I am going to try it. This is the only real hope for verizon. I love VZW, but hate the phones normally. I was holding out for the touch pro, but im sick of WinMo. YES. storm for me.

i want to but my friends keep telling me that i shouldnt get it because of bulky size and no physical keyboard but i still have a year for my upgrade, or i can persuede my parents into getting me one for christmas... what do you guys think?

i was just playing with one at the verizon store and the freakin thing pushes down when you type. its almost like a 3D keyboard and increasing typing efficiency atleast 100 fold... get one oh and its not that bulky

it is almost the same size as the curve and alittle shorter than the iphone so your friends are smoking something

funny you mention that, but my friend smokes weed countless times a week. well anyways, 22 you pretty much convinced me. Can you tell me something though I have had a moto Q for a year and i want to get the storm but dont wanna pay a bajillion dollars for it... how much do you think i will have to pay?

well if you have had for a year then you should be able to use an annual upgrade assuming you are at least on a 59.99 plan or higher... if not move to one (ie. select 450) and try to get them to let you upgrade before christmas... the rules state you have to be on a 59.99 plan or higher for three months but considering the phone requires data you should be cool

For me it is about options and the storm just doesn't have the options that i need and want. So for me I will be not getting the storm.

the stores will have lines and most likely sold out by noon but verizon and RIM are promising quick replacements by next week

Yes, Yes, Yes, I will be going to my local NYC location and getting one. They said the store is opening an hour early. Also, they said that they will not sell any full retail price units. You either need to be eligible for an upgrade or a new customer.
