These blackberrys are sold out almost everywhere. They're on ebay selling right now for $700!!! I just got some in stock right now at $200 but I dont know how long I'm going to be able to hold onto them. They're flying quick! I'm shipping them out right now.

(for the record, i cant stand at&t or iphone owners-i like verizon.But Its apparent what has happened here.The Verizon and Rim exec's sat around their 30 foot mahogany conference table and were like,Fuck dudes!this storm sucks!But christmas is a month away-lets release it and see if these retards eat it up!!..followed by a laugh and a few dozen high fives..I am now probably going to pay the 175 and get out of my contract and going with at&t.the truth is out-Verizon is garbage.

Worst phone Ive purchased in my entire life-literally.Myself and a couple friends got the Storm the other day-Exact same catastrophic problems-1:chck out how long it takes the screen to react when u flip it sideways for lndscape mode and back.2-ease of browsing?forgettaboutit.-impossibly confusing.3-the touchscreen-its laughable how ridiculous this screen is.its nearly impossible to operate.etc.etc.etc..Bottom line-check it out in the store before u buy it.if ur not an idiot,u will despise it.

This song is soooooo cooooool! I love it it's Pow by the Beastie Boys from the album The In Sound From Way Out. I love the snare drum solo in it.

this is by far, the best iPhone competitor. minimal in buttons n without that annoying stylus, smoothness and functionality, and style. only if bberry include a wifi, i think i'm changing to this, or as my second fon.

You mentioned Wifi. This phone doesn't include wifi. Great phone anyhow.

the updates due to release this month will fix the lag, the first update is available online, and does just that. the suretype can be disabled, so the screen works like any other touch screen, but i prefer it.
