I'll be going to the midtown location if Columbus, GA to pick mine up Friday morning. The store is opening at 9 a.m (normal hour) which means I'll be there at 7 a.m sharp lol. After that, it's off to my first college class of the day to flaunt my new toy off to all my friends who have the iPhone, G1, Touch Diamond, and Touch Pro.

I totally agree.... we will need more to start with. This limited amount won't suffice for the release, based on the amount of questions we are being asked.

Want to try it first, I never buy a phone based on hype (learned the hard way with Apple), also phones do have a history of buggy launches...I'll wait a little first.

Nope. Besides, tis the time to save, not spend.

Actually, I have an iPhone, and I had the pleasure of playing with the Storm today, i can rest assure you the screen response is WAY better.

So is it gonna cost $249.99 with a $50 mail in rebate? because if you read the fine print below it thats what it says im confused!! does anyone know the price?

249 up front and then you mail in for $50 back. Making the phone $199 when all is said and done.

and if you're up for your NE2 upgrade (at least 20-months into your contract) you get a $100 upgrade credit
93. (unregistered) posted on 20 Nov 2008, 08:24 0 0
or a $50 credit(depending on plan) and you have to be the primary.... sorry to correct but its really annoying to have a family of 5 come in all expecting an extra 100 off their lines when 4 are 9.99 add a lines.. its like come on people do the math 9.99 x 20 months = 199.80 ... the phones are subsidized at least 130 bucks already...

i'm NOT gonna buy that piece of shit A.K.A copy cat of the Iphone. sorry, is only 1 Iphone with the BEST touchscreen ever on a mobile phone, BEST UI period, thousands of useful applications etc... these companies trying to compete with the Iphone needs STOP following '' Steve Jobs coat trail by immitating almost everything he got on the Iphone. just come up with ya own shit and call it the day. there wil neverl be a Iphone killa anytime soon, the only phone gonna be a Iphone killa is the Iphone itself NOT the verBLOWzon wireless name bb storm with the FAKE NIKE check on it. I'll bet u, for those of u who disagree with me would pick the IPHONE OVER BB STORM if verBLOWzon announce they will have the Iphone on their network the same day bb storm set to release. so SUCK IT UP! and wait for 4 more years b4 verBLOWzon can have it. stop hattin' on phone because ur verBLOWzon dont carry it. I'M GLAD I OWN THE REAL IPHONE!!!!!
