BlackBerry Storm goes into TA (technical acceptance) at Verizon, delayed 3-4 weeks
Here’s our latest info on the BlackBerry Storm and the fate of the device on Verizon’s network: it just went into technical acceptance at Verizon which usually takes around 3-4 weeks, and the device has been delayed internally by around 3-4 weeks while they work out the kinks (read: buggy and unresponsive) and polish it up. That puts us around a mid-November launch on Verizon. We’ve double confirmed that information, so it should be pretty accurate. Additionally, we heard from someone else that they’ve increased the marketing budget for the BlackBerry Storm just to give AT&T a little kick in the nuts for delaying the Bold so much. That’s not confirmed, still probably a little true, plus we got a chuckle out of that anyway.

I;m hoping this unit will be successful. I love Palm and respect Blackberry a lot. If this unit kicks off smooth ... from now on, I will have both Palm and Blackberry as my main units. |

Looks pretty sweet. I wouldn't mind toying with it, but again, meh to touchscreen stuff.
Anybody know what kind of touchscreen it is though? Capacitive or resistive? |

Roger's ver is unlimited after 6pm instead.
Gonna change my plan to this, sometime this week. If you gonna do the same, I suggest a hardware up grade aswell, since this contract is 3 yrs too.
I have no idea what to get for the hardware upgrade ... nothing I like out now and this plan will end. It's gonna be either the Nokia N95, Blackberry Curve or iPhone. This unit will be my ME NOT CARE unit, chuck it, drop it and even if i make it float on water ... ME NOT CARE! Or give it to my mom, if thats the case ... iPhone is perfect for old ppl. |

because its a pretty good deal?
I've been on it for about 6-7 months now and its great.
Since i'm at work during the day, I never use my cell phone during those hours. Pretty much everything I do is after 5pm, and I don't need 200 minutes for that 1 hour...

Re Fido, my friend wanted to renew his contract and called them about that $17.50 deal. The CSR ended up giving him an even better deal for 2 years including caller ID, unlimited incoming, 200 minutes primetime, similar price (possibly lower). Both of us were shocked he got such a good deal and think maybe it was because he wasn't being pushy and neither was the CSR.
The problem is Fido is really slack (so far) about sending out confirming info on the exact terms so he's not really sure he'll get all that they talked about. I'm gonna try for the same deal if his is confirmed.
Good thread here on Fido plan renewals: http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/...ad.php?t=376936 |
