Finally the moment I've been waiting for, perfect timing too, for my last check of the night. This looks like it may be worth my new every two after all!
I am so happy i was just about to go to bed now i cant...
w00t! October 21 can't come soon enough!
I currently have the Storm 9530, I am in the middle of my contract and so will pay full price for the Storm2
would it be cheaper to add a line?
That's how I got my first BB while still under contract. Then I gave my old phone to my mother. Now that I'm a BES Admin, I can use one of hundreds of upgradable lines. ;-)
I'm getting antsy for the launch!
Get on the ball, VeRIMzon.
YYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been up for an upgrade with Verizon since May, but I have put it off constantly due to all the rumors for the Storm2. Now, not only have the majority of the rumors been confirmed, but it is time for me to get my upgrade. I'll be in line the day it goes on sale.
The best thing out of tonight is that it shows that Crackberry has some influence over the world. thanks RIM for sending out the specs, now all we need is a official release date.
I've noticed that VZW gives our business account greater discounts to lines that have been out of contract for months or years. Some of these accounts may even get the Storm2 for free!
So if you've been holding out for the new Storm, you mat get it cheaper than those who just became eligible! Hang in there gals and guys!
I'm gonna pee my pants !! hurry and be in my hands !!! lol
Kevin.. any knowledge as to the FCC ID for the 9550 (Vzw)? Where I work requires an approval from our Spectrum Management folks... would be helpful if we had that in place... thanks
I'm eligible for early upgrade in 3 days.
My plan is well above the minimum so I get annual upgrades.
Storm II here I come.
Anyone want to buy an unlocked Storm I?
How much $ you want for it?
I stopped by my VRW store tonight and they said it will likely be the first of November before they go on sale, do to the amot of Storm ones, they have to get rid of. They don't seem to be as nearly excited as we are for the sale or release date. My renewel is the 22 of Oct,Well time takes time.
Anyone knows when are we getting Storm 2 in South Africa? :)
WHAT ABOUT A FULL SCREEN CALLER ID?????? wi-fi and all of these other improvements is all well and good but what about a full screen caller id feature that I don't have to buy a stupid app to get???????????????????????????????
