Crack Apple

Update as of October 23, 2009: Looks like  Verizon will be launching the BlackBerry Storm 2 smartphone after all. It was a publicity stunt that Verizon did to  hype everyone up (another marketing strategy), which made it looks like that Verizon wasn’t going to carry the Storm 2 smartphone anymore.  The BlackBerry Storm 2 will be scheduled for release on Wednesday, October 28th.  Hooray, just in time for the holiday shopping.  The Storm 2 will include a 16GB MicroSD card pre installed, that is Christmas present for ya from the Verizon’s Santa Clause.  As far the pricing of the Storm 2 smartphone, here is a breakdown: 2-year contract: $280, 1-year contract: $350, and full retail: $540

Research in “Motion” but Verizon is not.  The BlackBerry Storms 2 smartphone gets the cold treatment from Verizon this time.  Due to the fact of the last not so perfect Storm “1″ smartphone from BlackBerry that held the Verizon support line hostage.  There were so many errors reported that frustrated so many customers.  Eventually, a bunch of the BlackBerry Storm smartphones were returned.  And for those who held onto the phone and hoping the next software upgrade will fix the problems were later disappointed.

This time Verizon is making sure that all bugs are fixed before making it available, lets hope.  Sometime ago, Verizon issued a statement that the BlackBerry Storm smartphones did not meet Verizon’s quality standard.  I doubt it if Verizon would want to take another hit of the Storm 2.  If all the bugs are fixed before this holiday season, we will likely see the BlackBerry Storm 2 smartphone this Christmas.
