BlackBerry Storm madness!!
Oct. 08, 2008 Filed in: BlackBerry | Technology

Today has been a crazy day for BlackBerry Storm news. All the tech sites have been buzzing with tons of information streaming in all day. I’d recommend checking out CrackBerry for the latest. They have links to other sites as well as info posted on their own site. Have fun browsing! Oh, and if someone wants to send me a Storm to check out, I wouldn’t mind at all!

Verizon Storm video

Straight from Boy Genius, here’s a new Verizon video showing people on the street checking out the new Verizon Storm touchscreen BlackBerry.

Verizon Wireless...Now contract free
Sep. 22, 2008 Filed in: Technology

Rumors have been circulating that Verizon Wireless would soon drop the terribly annoying cell phone contract for about a week now. Today, they’ve made it official and you can now get Verizon service on a month-to-month basis with...no contract!
I can’t say that I love Verizon. As a matter of fact, I’m not a big fan of them at all. However, I think this is great and I applaud them for being the first US carrier to eliminate contracts and early termination fees. Let’s see who follows.
You do have to pay full price for your handset of choice and there is a set-up fee but, come on, no contract!
In my part of town that eliminates the hassle of trying to buy a new device with no contract. They always want to get you to renew or sign up for new service. Especially with the hot, new handsets.

Here's the BlackBerry Storm

**Update #2**
Boo on Verizon! They pulled the video...again. Apparently the launch site’s been up and down today. So, if you want to be emailed an alert when this thing comes out, check out the site here.
**Update**
I hate it when the corporate weenies pull videos from the net. Looks like the video that was on YouTube was pulled. I mean, aren’t us blogging geeks the ones who are building all the hype for their upcoming devices? Anyway, thanks to CrackBerry for loading it up again!
Well, seems CrackBerry got it first. Here’s the video for Minute with Mike that introduces the BlackBerry Storm to employees. Keep in mind this wasn’t a public announcement. Just a bunch of us BlackBerry geeks that found out about it. Keep an eye out for a formal announcement from Verizon coming soon.
BlackBerry Storm Day
Sep. 15, 2008 Filed in: Technology | BlackBerry

So it looks like today’s going to be BlackBerry Storm Day around the internet. Leaks of internal memos and blurry photos are making the rounds on all the sites. Check out the latest set of photos here.
All these leaks and we still haven’t seen any announcements from a guy named Mike at Verizon yet. Maybe it was all just internal announcements?
Who is Mike??

Rumor has it the BlackBerry Storm is going to be announced tomorrow by some guy named Mike at Verizon. Who is Mike? This is the much anticipated full touchscreen BlackBerry that will be exclusive to Verizon.
Don’t rush to your local Verizon store tomorrow though. The phone will just be “announced” tomorrow. And, hopefully, we’ll get a release date tomorrow and maybe even a sneak peak a the device other than what the “ninja” showed us last week.
I’m looking forward to seeing the device but I’ve heard that it uses SureType when you’re viewing the phone in vertical mode. Hmmm...I’ve tried SureType but it never really took. Should be an interesting day tomorrow.
