Contest: BlackBerry Storm 2 Coming in June?

By Kevin Michaluk on 19 May 2009 05:05 pm

Login to CrackBerry.com and leave a comment to this blog post for your chance to possibly win a BlackBerry Storm 2. Full Contest Details Below!

There's lots of buzz around the interwebs today that the BlackBerry Storm 2 could be hitting store shelves much sooner than most of us would think, with rumors suggesting a release as early as before the end of this month or sometime in June. As much as I would LOVE for this to pan out to be true, my CrackBerry gut says we'll all have to wait a little longer than that to get our hands on a store-purchased model.

Our best info right now slates pre-production of the next generation Storm (which RIM internally refers to by the codename BlackBerry "Odin") to begin early next month and from there an official release is usually a couple months out (VZW's technical acceptance process usually takes 2-3 weeks on a device, so even if they approved it off the first pre-production run we'd still be looking at July). And this is Verizon were talking about here... the pickiest of the carriers... who also have the BlackBerry Tour 9630 to roll out still and after a less-than-stellar Storm 1 experience won't want to put out Storm 2 until it's ready. And they won't want to stack the 9630/Storm 2 releases too close to eachother. At this point, I'd rate a May release as impossible, a June launch as potentially possible but improbable, a July release as targeted/more realistic but tight (think end of the month, fingers crossed), an August launch as more likely but if you throw in the usual BlackBerry/Verizon delays then I wouldn't even be suprised to see it launch later than that. As always in the world of BlackBerry, all will be known with time.

Storm 2 Before the End of June Contest: Let's have some fun here! I'd love to see a June launch happen. I really would. I just don't think it will. So to that end, we'll take a gamble and run one helluva contest.... LEAVE a comment to this blog post. For every day that the BlackBerry Storm 2 is on sale in the month of June 2009 we'll give one away to a CrackBerry member. So if the Storm 2 is available for purchase on June 1st, we'll give away 30 Storm 2's over the course of the month. If it's available on June 15th, we'll give away 16. If it's available on the 30th, we'll give away one. And if it doesn't go up for sale in June at all, we'll give away none. Should make for an interesting month, huh? Leave a comment for your chance to win!

I'm hoping for a June 1st release! Thanks CrackBerry!

Fidelio_o May 19, 2009 at 5:27 pm

Crackberry paying for my storm 2? Count me in. lol,

LonelyGreg15 Jun 14, 2009 at 9:07 pm

My old phone went through the wash in March, and I've had to use a RAZR for the past few months. Now I'm just waiting for the BB storm 2 to come out.

elementfire180 May 19, 2009 at 6:54 pm

I Love my STORM! But STRONGER, FASTER, SMARTER Storm came out, id like to win one! Thanks for the opportunity CRACKBERRY!!

secretsexyninja May 19, 2009 at 7:11 pm

so the more you comment? the better your chance to win? i think thats how their counter works..

GreatSave31 May 19, 2009 at 7:54 pm

Kevin, I would love one! But the release date will be around Friday, July 10th! Sorry, no winners. But I am the closet to the release date. Thanks "Q".

BlitzZkrieG May 19, 2009 at 8:42 pm

Crackberry please provide me a Storm 2 as I will not be eligible to upgrade until at least December. Thank you

bangor1323 May 19, 2009 at 10:23 pm

Come on CrackBerry! I just got my Storm in March! 22 more months until I can upgrade! GIVE ME A STORM 2 PLEASE!

tgoode24 May 20, 2009 at 1:00 am

you can upgrade you device once every 20months bangor.

TX-Realtor Jun 15, 2009 at 11:00 am

I have been researching the Blackberry Storm and everyone I work with likes it. I started researching and thats when I found your sight.

Sure could use one!

forest gospel May 19, 2009 at 11:27 pm

pleasssssssse

Rmm4590 May 20, 2009 at 1:45 am

Come on june 1st!!!!

Weldzar May 20, 2009 at 8:42 am

It would be fantastic!

the_elf May 20, 2009 at 1:50 am

What happened to the email blasts that announced the new contests?

SMarin37 May 20, 2009 at 8:00 am

Count me IN!

Daisy Dee May 20, 2009 at 10:15 am

I am hoping they release it June first to up my chances of winning one!!!!

jb5674 May 20, 2009 at 1:14 pm

Hurry, I need a new berry - pearl is getting old

rhynoplaz May 20, 2009 at 10:16 pm

I'm going to bet on no sooner than a July release, and thats being optimistic. Who knows? We might be surprised and its at least worth throwing in a post... just in case!

witenko May 21, 2009 at 7:01 am

I want the hook-up. My storm is old and wrinkly. I need to trade her in for a younger model.

supersportjim May 25, 2009 at 2:38 am

In. Thanks

Barsoum89 May 26, 2009 at 4:51 pm

gimme one

doxa sub750T May 27, 2009 at 2:40 pm

Come On, RIM you can do it in June :)

Cheers

djcyph May 28, 2009 at 6:24 pm

it would be amazing if you guys hooked it up!

justaims78 May 30, 2009 at 2:15 am

love it! :)

Casey09 Jun 2, 2009 at 6:38 pm

The blackberry storm definitely raised the bar in some aspects. But the rush to release it before Christmas left it pretty bugged. Can't wait to see what they can do with a 2nd chance. I own a storm and i find it frezing often and it has a dead corner on the screen at the bottom right...annoying.

sgtboots May 19, 2009 at 5:07 pm

I have a Storm on it's way and I don't know to keep it or not. Too much bad stuff about it, not enough good.

nj2tx123 May 19, 2009 at 5:42 pm

give it a shot, see if YOU like it not what others say

remps May 19, 2009 at 7:16 pm

I agree - try it and draw your own conclusions. Would you trust the *average* person that comments here about anything else in your life? If not, then why would you about a phone? different strokes.

GiGi_37 May 20, 2009 at 10:34 am

Give it a shot. I've got a storm and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

Benny386 May 19, 2009 at 5:07 pm

I bought the first storm DAY 1 and LOVE IT - the storm 2 can only get better! Plus, I've never won anything on here and I think it's about time!

martinrrrr May 19, 2009 at 5:08 pm

I'll take it.

Sprank1 May 19, 2009 at 5:08 pm

It would be very cool to win a Storm 2 - PLEASE :)

Mordecaidrake May 19, 2009 at 5:08 pm

For the love of god and all that is holy pick me! =p

joedirt2217 May 19, 2009 at 5:08 pm

I love my Storm and cannot wait until the new one comes out!

Venc May 19, 2009 at 5:08 pm

but so cool!!

I want 30 ;)

notmyshow May 19, 2009 at 5:09 pm

Sweet! Hook me up!

mz3_2000 May 19, 2009 at 5:09 pm

30 chances to win!!! :)

smarkow May 19, 2009 at 5:09 pm

I'd be happy to accept a free Storm 2!

slope420jo May 19, 2009 at 5:09 pm

Commercials for the 1st storm is stilll airing.... RIm can go fuck themselves

Andy348 May 19, 2009 at 5:09 pm

I certainly won't turn down a Storm 2 =]

elmedir May 19, 2009 at 5:09 pm

Although, it still kinda sucks that it is coming out so soon and that we storm 1 users get shafted with the older device. Oh well, here's to contests!!

D_Dog May 19, 2009 at 11:55 pm

I agree. And don't give me that "early adopter" BS argument. This is a very expensive phone from a very reputable Business Class company and it was a huge fail. I don't care if it's the first phone of it's kind, it should work well regardless.

Midnight Q May 19, 2009 at 5:10 pm

just because it would drive me nuts.

(How can you half expect something?)

doug22 May 19, 2009 at 5:10 pm

hmm maybe i can take the screen off of my winning storm 2 to replace the screen of my dust infested storm 1...and what OS will Storm 2 be running, .75 or a beta?

D_Dog May 19, 2009 at 11:56 pm

Ya, dust infested is right. When I'm out in the sun I can barely see the screen through all the dust, ridiculous!

oolunchbox May 19, 2009 at 5:10 pm

my storm 1 has been acting crazy lately. hook up a new one!

kblade98 May 19, 2009 at 5:10 pm

The Storm 2 will be released June 27th

fierywater May 19, 2009 at 5:10 pm

Might as well leave a post. Nothing to lose! :)

cfreese66 May 19, 2009 at 5:10 pm

speedy7637 May 19, 2009 at 5:10 pm

But i will take one.

Daisy Dee May 20, 2009 at 10:19 am

where is your Optimism? RIM ought to be on their game in this type of economy, now a days!

Krazykarlvb May 19, 2009 at 5:10 pm

Really doubt there is a chance of it coming out even before November.

nicholsd May 19, 2009 at 5:10 pm

Interested in a BB Storm 2 since I do not like my first edition storm. I have been using RIM since the old 957 on Sktel and I am a dedicated fan and user. However many upgrades are needed to the first edition storm, so if a second one is coming in June and I dont win this contest I will be paying full price for it. Please Please Please make it happen RIM, update the storm 1 or release the storm 2...

Lucas6688 May 19, 2009 at 5:10 pm

On my contract I have 18 months until i'm eligible for an upgrade. Replacing my Storm, with the Storm 2 in less then two months from now would rock!

p.s.~ I love my Storm...but it's time for his little brother to blow us all away.

russellwilliam May 19, 2009 at 5:11 pm

i'm excited to see what the new storm brings to the blackberry family hopefully it's alot better then the first storm.

maverick96#cb May 19, 2009 at 5:11 pm

I'm Definitely down for a STORM 2 BABY!!!!!!!

mrmcpheezy May 19, 2009 at 5:11 pm

I'm down.

attathomeguy May 19, 2009 at 5:11 pm

Lets hope these rumors are true and that I win a storm 2

Fabmaclover May 19, 2009 at 5:11 pm

but it s a storm so i am in :)

tripph11 May 19, 2009 at 5:11 pm

hope it comes out on June 1st!!

uncleman May 19, 2009 at 5:11 pm

There's gonna be a LOT of unhappy Storm 1 owners....myself included....unless we get some kind of deal to upgrade.

BrettIwana May 19, 2009 at 5:21 pm

I agree this has actually made me very made... Are storm one users going to get the shaft? Lets start a movement!!! We should all get early upgrades!!!!

MoneyOverBitches01 May 19, 2009 at 9:45 pm

I agree!!! It would probably be impossible (but the best case scenario) if we got a free upgrade to the Storm 2. Probably won't happen but even if they said we could pay $100 for an upgrade to the Storm 2 i would do that. Thats the least they could do, but LETS HOPE FOR THE STORM 2 TO COME OUT SOOOON AND A FREE UPGRADE :)

D_Dog May 20, 2009 at 12:01 am

Yes, I will leave. I will pay my termination fee and leave. I'll take all 6 phones and plans I have with Verizon and give my $500 a month to a company that doesn't F*&% over it's customers.

cvlowe May 20, 2009 at 9:52 am

They ALL f- over their customers.

Tommy6404 May 20, 2009 at 11:16 am

Amen to that man

2PlusTheFoul May 19, 2009 at 5:11 pm

Since I didn't win before with the Bold..and since I'm deciding to stay the CDMA way...I think I should be one of the ones to win the Storm 2 lol

lainsauto May 19, 2009 at 5:12 pm

now if I could win the 2 life would not be so bad...but heck good luck to all!

Budo May 19, 2009 at 5:12 pm

I think a release date of the end of June is more likley.

vx1 May 19, 2009 at 5:12 pm

I like it :) gimme a piece of the action baby!!!

amgala May 19, 2009 at 5:12 pm

gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme!

fbihawk May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

If the Storm 2 comes out in June, I'm driving to the nearest Verizon store and chucking my Storm 1 through the window. With .75 software of course (because that's about all it's good for)

taylde5 May 19, 2009 at 5:12 pm

here's hoping for a june 1 launch with such an exciting contest on the table

NailLady_1 May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

Ouch!! That could get painful.......but I've got them crossed hoping for a June 1st release and that I can be the lucky one or one of thirty!! Wooooohooooooooo! :D

Joe91313 May 19, 2009 at 5:12 pm

If this launches I'll be surprised, but if it does I would love a storm 2

playsoutside May 19, 2009 at 5:12 pm

I just don't see it happening in June. I hope I'm wrong.

ddarvish May 19, 2009 at 5:12 pm

maybe this storm 2 can fix my storm 1

dilorenzo May 19, 2009 at 5:12 pm

you didnt mention a year, so basically we can hope that the release will be postponed to 2010 =)

charroch May 19, 2009 at 5:12 pm

I don't even know what I'd do with a Storm 2, but dagnabbit, it's free, and by golly, who doesn't love free?

rootbeersoup May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

And no I'm not talking about Black Beans

Jimc19 May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

I have the first one and i'm about throw mine out the window help me please

Captain_Choppy May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

Bring it home baby give us a Storm 2 in June! (only because I'll have a chance to win one, never mind me being upset about recently getting a Storm 1)

CThomas032 May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

I love my Storm, but would love to love it more! Storm 2 for me Please!

APic02 May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

I LOVE ME SOME CRACKBERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rockyork#cb May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

i'M HOPING IT COMES OUT JUNE 1ST!

nedqadams May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

Well hopefully it'll be more of the phone many of us expected.

ammaredt May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

i would love to win a storm 2 if they go on sale in june but i will feel like i got jipped, along with everyone else, with my storm #1/2

ALCie May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

Cool concept. I would definitely love a Storm 2. I'm secretly jealous of Storm owners even though I would not trade my 8900 in for one.

Yash May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

Hoping for 1 or more.
Or is that selfish?
...nah, its good for Crackberry, right? As long as I'm picked ;)

nosey313 May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

PING!

kmkmontana May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

I hope so! I want it!

flamingkitties May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

Gimmie.
Free stuff is ace.

lordnikonz May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

glawry May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

I'll take one.

Matticus82 May 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm

If i get a storm 2, will it fight an epic battle with my curve?

slchusky May 19, 2009 at 5:14 pm

well...might as well get on here and hope for the best...maybe I will have a shot if it comes out on the first

jbautz May 19, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Lets see an OS for the storm first

amolinari May 19, 2009 at 5:14 pm

fu53d May 19, 2009 at 5:14 pm

I can't wait!!! If I win one, than it all will be worth it....CB!!!

DroidHoff May 19, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Heres hoping! Although I do like my Storm :) I personal like being able to upgrade to all the leaked software and find the right one for me!

lyoko37 May 19, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Best Contest Ever Kevin!

I would love to win one :)

Gold May 19, 2009 at 5:14 pm

I hope they take there time with this devise, after the storm 1 disaster they should only release it when its ready

GabrielEF#AC May 19, 2009 at 5:14 pm

I will take one if someone gives it to me; FWIW, I love my Storm 1...

brandonscott May 19, 2009 at 5:14 pm

prharding May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

FREE BLACKBERRY!!

LuisT May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

Hopefully the STORM 2 COMES OUT on JUNE 1st!! :) CRAZY CONTEST!

Good LUCK!

jellyfisher123 May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

meeeeeee

aragon7 May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

This is a risky contest... but I'll take one! :p

janedo1586#cb May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

I'll bite! I'd like a free BB.

bronxlou May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

If they release the Storm 2 before they have a stable OS for the original Storm, I'm afraid you will see a very disgruntled bunch of Verizon customers. One way to solve this is have The Storm 2 OS also be compatable with the Original Storm.

If Verizon thinks they will be able to sell another Storm without first class support they are sadly mistaken.

secretsexyninja May 19, 2009 at 7:13 pm

yeah.. what the heck.. better be a major MAJOR os overhaul.. otherwise who gives a rip?? plus i dont have $600 bucks to just blow right now

addicted2tech May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

I can't wait for some new blackberries to come out. My boyfriend and I are getting our first ones!

Tazzman68 May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

I know not to count on it, but here's to hoping for a June 1st release!

nyick May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

I would smash and blend my old storm :D no jk -_- seriously..

Morf32 May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

Great contest, CB! Holla! Although I am also doubting it will be out in June, here's to me being wrong so some of us can win it! Woot!

colls68 May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

I like my Storm but would like to try the storm 2. Sign me up.

n0t0ryus1 May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

Cant wait to see how many comments this generates!

Nonetheless heres +1 and Count me in!

swarlos May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

That would be awesome if it did come out in a few weeks but with so little info on it so far it would be a miracle. Still I want one PICK ME PICK ME PICK ME

fly2daskyee82 May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

Come on June 1st!

tkaudio May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

hell yeah i could use a new blackberry

dude0909 May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

I hope it goes on sale a lot a days

jonbgood93 May 19, 2009 at 5:15 pm

Storm 2 Would be Nice

dgalanter May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

I want to win it. Make me win it. PLEASE?

SouthernSaltine May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

I am ALL IN for a FREE STORM 2!!! Crackberry is the BEST when it comes to giveaways!! Thanks guys, and hope I win!!!

ZachDasher May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

the first one is great, the 2nd one is gonna rock!!

crakedparrot May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

I have everything I can crossed... ouch!

wingzero1 May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

Chance to win a free crackberry...heck sign me up!

saranita May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

I want it! 'nuff said lol

Mrsb08 May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

I want the Storm 2....pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty please!!!!!!!

codemaker May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

I am very skeptical on this one. Still a free phone is a good phone. Good enough to sell and buy a tour anyway... No storm hate though. I'm on sprint, so I have no use for it. I would probably give it to one of my buddies or sell it if I won.

blevin3 May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

I really want the Tour but am definitely intrigued by this Storm 2 deal. I'm willing to try my luck at winning one though! Thanks CrackBerry.com you're the best!

patrick.butler May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

Please give me a storm 2...plleeaaaaaasee. Your the best Crackberry!!

BBROCKR May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

I wouldn't mind winning a Storm 2.

thezman May 19, 2009 at 5:16 pm

Hook me up with a Storm 2! I'd love to get my hands on that bad boy.

coltshouse#CB May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

Dear crackberry i cant beleave that they are coming out with a storm 2 when i have the first one that is a horable phone with alot of problems. They should give the ones that have the first storm the new one if its better then this peice of junk.The new os better be good if they ever relese it. thank you crackberry your the best wiley davidson

leathernuts#WP May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

me me me me me please please please. Thank you

anglstrmoon May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

I hope to see the Storm 2 go on sale in early June!

nodron May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

I for one am keeping my fingers crossed that the Storm 2 comes out in June

brianburgos91 May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

pleeassse let it be a june 1st release, i want to upgrade!

malicefox May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

But hey, why not try just incase? :)

aaronbyarbrough May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

I guess we all knew it was going to happen. Not this soon though.

metal4rock May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

I love you crackberry!:D
I doubt we will see a storm 2 by June.
To be honest.. the sooner I see it the angrier I will be. A Storm 2 this soon? My storm is still a baby.
But.. I would love a storm 2 to replace my storm!

tms1521 May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

I will say June 26th. If they are saying the end of the month, then a Friday release would be sufficient and sales would then go crazy on Saturdays and Sundays...perfect timing.

gehx May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

umm....give us a good update for storm 1 please ;)

I want to win a storm 2!

jellyfisher123 May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

dont see it coming out before the 9630

archpopoy May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

Best.
contest.
ever.
yet.
ever.

davnel78 May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

hell yeah! I'd love to win one of those.. *fingers crossed*

rk1991 May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

I hope it comes out june 1st

erock90 May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

Just let me know where to pick up my storm 2

zeiroe May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

GADS! I'll be upset if they release the storm 2 without fixing the OS first. All the hardware in the world won't mean a thing if the software that's running it is crap.

fortinbrasa May 19, 2009 at 5:17 pm

RIM is probably trying to keep people excited about BB devices since there are rumors of the iphone releasing in mid July.

headshrink May 19, 2009 at 8:49 pm

You took the words right out of my mouth. I find the timing very coincidental. Especially, since the iphone is suppose to add several features that have been lacking i.e. cut and paste, pic MMS, etc. A free and Better Storm would actually keep me from peeking over the fence. lol

Dont get your panties all in a bunch when it doesnt come out till November but I'd love to see it soon. I have the Storm now and its ok but just not your typical BlackBerry.

prefect127 May 19, 2009 at 5:18 pm

Craziness. I hope I win!

cancerkilla23 May 19, 2009 at 5:18 pm

it will be out just in time for july 4th weekend...pisses me off as a storm 1 owner though...would have waited if i had known back in jan...

serpico May 19, 2009 at 5:18 pm

I was about to pick up a Storm this week! Just waiting for the Best Buy to give me a call about when new stock arrives because they were sold out on Sunday. Ah man, now what to do?! But on the flip side am I going to deal with Storm 2 OS bugs?! LOL

gomez72000 May 19, 2009 at 5:18 pm

so happy i returned my storm but getting tired of the 8330

NinjaRAT May 19, 2009 at 5:19 pm

Ridiculous that my Storm 1 isn't even a year old, and a new one is in the wings. Wonder how much I can get for mine on Craigslist...not much, I guess.

Here's rolling the dice for my only chance to upgrade.

JaiPheht May 19, 2009 at 5:19 pm

doubt it would come out this early, but i'll leave a comment anyways!

Hairbear1954 May 19, 2009 at 5:19 pm

Well, here we go again! Another awesome contest by Crackberry! C'mon guys get this phone out quickly and see what happens...Sure would like to win one of these puppies!!

vjinmA May 19, 2009 at 5:19 pm

I never win anything, but I'll take a shot for the Storm 2.

LetMeClearMyThroat May 19, 2009 at 5:19 pm

might as well get in on the action..

good luck all!

hognelson May 19, 2009 at 5:19 pm

That would be a crazy release...

Rampage9 May 19, 2009 at 5:19 pm

Common Storm 2 in June!

gmoney077 May 19, 2009 at 5:19 pm

Count me in!

mingus007 May 19, 2009 at 5:19 pm

Just driving up the CB Google ratings, but you've just GOT to reward a goofy (highly improbable pay-out) contest like this! LOL. Genius for thinking it. So let the Google ratings soar (again!).

ribby18#cb May 19, 2009 at 5:20 pm

Sweet, hope I win one! :)

PaloAltoWorldView May 19, 2009 at 5:20 pm

September the earliest possible (15%). October most likely (55%). November a reasonable (30%) probability.

PabloHerrera May 19, 2009 at 5:20 pm

Sign me up!

Jonavin May 19, 2009 at 5:20 pm

Hope the prize will be unlocked.

jnixbb09 May 19, 2009 at 5:20 pm

I would love my first Storm to work perfect, but in all reality I should have known it would have had its quirks. Now having a chance to get the new Storm 2 would make this journey much better... I would really like to win this one.

jryker May 19, 2009 at 5:20 pm

Send one my way.

corronchos May 19, 2009 at 5:20 pm

Or 2...

Unicorn56 May 19, 2009 at 5:20 pm

I don't beleive it will be out in June, but I truly hope they get some of the problems with Storm 1 ironed out in Storm 2. If they do I will get one (or 2.) I have been generally satisfied with my Storm but an OS upgrade would be good. I don't hold out much hope that a Storm 2, rushed to market so quickly, will have a better OS. I bought 2 Storms on launch day after standing in line for 5 hours in the cold and dark. If it does launch in June, I would be happy to get a free one shipped to me in the comfort of my nice warm home ;-)

frappa#cb May 19, 2009 at 5:20 pm

I highly doubt we will see a June release. But if we do, I should win!

Lezam May 19, 2009 at 5:20 pm

Awesome contest!

keebler0617#cb May 19, 2009 at 5:21 pm

Sounds good to me!

cap10mark May 19, 2009 at 5:21 pm

Hmmm....a new Storm before an upadated OS. Thumbs up!

Referman07 May 19, 2009 at 5:21 pm

that sucks I just got my storm 2wks ago.
I hope I win 1 than

lifetimerufan May 19, 2009 at 5:21 pm

Here's hoping for a June 1st release

KINDERknm May 19, 2009 at 5:21 pm

After much debate my wife and u upgraded from our curve phones to the storm. While I would love to see the new dwviceout so soon I would be annoyed if there wasn't some plan to help our current owners upgrade. I like the device overall but after use I dint like the click screen and u really think the os needs to speedier.

brianburgos91 May 19, 2009 at 5:21 pm

let it be me!!!

Go Bucks May 19, 2009 at 5:21 pm

would love to have a storm!

k_kolb11 May 19, 2009 at 5:21 pm

C'mon Verizon, release it June 1.

NCGiant May 19, 2009 at 5:21 pm

love my storm, not sold on the storm 2 concept yet

yogirl#AC May 19, 2009 at 5:21 pm

Oh I hope it comes out in june.

jarug40 May 19, 2009 at 5:22 pm

bigairskier11 May 19, 2009 at 5:22 pm

tonytouch_28 May 19, 2009 at 5:22 pm

SAVJR May 19, 2009 at 5:22 pm

Than to get a new phone (Storm 2). I can't wait to see what happens to both phones and certainly would like to win. Or at least get a working OS

K3VlN May 19, 2009 at 5:22 pm

want one! You just gotta pick me!

barnabyh May 19, 2009 at 5:22 pm

Have had my Storm from day one, and love it....here's to hoping Storm 2 launches June 1st!!

Legobricke May 19, 2009 at 5:22 pm

Verizon....

Do something right and get us a NEW STORM!

Lego

Local40 May 19, 2009 at 5:22 pm

RIM is really surprising us with this new phone. I'm personally elated!

enginerd May 19, 2009 at 5:22 pm

I really hope that the storm 2 is launched soon, I would love a new phone.

USArmyWife1982 May 19, 2009 at 5:22 pm

Id sell my soul for one.... not really but i REALLLLLY want one

Dirrtymiller May 19, 2009 at 5:22 pm

it would be the storm 2!!!! Don't forget about me.

bluecrack May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

I wanna win the next headache from Verizon lol

roro42 May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

I would love to see a Storm in June. Bring it to me Jobu!

fbriansmith May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

Hey I would love a BB Storm 2! I have a trip to England in June and my curve 8330 doesn't work there. What a going away gift this would be!

Skia May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

I'd like to see if it really comes out by June. Here's to hoping that VZW does their homework and it debuts ith no drama.

sirtikalot May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

i hate my storm 1

my berry is black May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

Oooh, if the hardware improvements will make it better than the Storm 1, then please hand one to me.

Back-space May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

I want to "possibly" win a storm 2 :)

PvT May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

I've won nothing before, maybe I'll win nothing again...

Hunts99 May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

Would be disappointing to see it released so early after Storm 1 so I have to get in on the action to get the newer, better version!

jeffg22 May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

Hey, my birthday's in June! This would be a heckuva birthday present!

- Jeff

jskolm85 May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

No way VZW releases this thing June. Putting my X on the line in the hopes that I am wrong..... but Highly doubt they will release this thing that quickly.... I am 'guessing' closer to the Holiday like the Original Storm was....

sifka4 May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

I AM WEINER

schandor May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

I guess I'd be willing to give it a go. :-)

Skyeclad May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

In it to win it.

jwp902 May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

I hope I win.

timstorm May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

I highly doubt it will be done by June. I also hope if it does its an actual finished phone. In case it is released here is my comment for the contest.

jorGeorge May 19, 2009 at 5:23 pm

Wow, very interesting contest! Would love to win! Pick me!!!

jwp902 May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

Winner winner chicken dinner

cbombaz May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

I'd love to get a free upgrade! IT'd be GreeeeeAT!

SouthernSaltine May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

THIS IS GREAT!! If this thing comes out in June that will be NICE.

crackberry4life May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

Storm 2 here we come! Whoo hoo!

benzworm May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

i don't see it happening

jwp902 May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

Good luck

b51 May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

Don't think there's a chance of this at all.....buttttt.... can't pass this up and risk kicking myself later just on the offchance..... haha

3rd_Collective May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

Was gonna say hope it comes out in July, right in time for my Bday but then there wouldn't be any to give out. lol Here's to hoping for a June 1 release!

ruvcan May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

This is a fun concept for a contest! I hope it get released on the 1st!

sk817 May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

whats the process of you guys picking people because i never get picked.

alexandrk May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

I need this so bad, I want this sooo bad, I will do anything for a Storm 2....

JinSD May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

June would be great. Looking forward to my first BB!

salilsp May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

It'd be AWSOME to win a Storm 2... especially if it lacks the SurePress.

bearcat237 May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

The only way I'll be able to own one of these before my new every 2 is if I win this contest of somehow recieve into a large sum of money!

rangersguy22 May 19, 2009 at 5:24 pm

COMMMMMMON STORM 2 in JUNE

MUZIK808 May 19, 2009 at 5:25 pm

blizzardb May 19, 2009 at 5:25 pm

Pick me pick me pick me......thanks!

HeavyComponent May 19, 2009 at 5:25 pm

Another contest that catches my eye, but I never win anything. I got nothing to lose and everything to gain so why not. Wish me luck!

chitnblr71 May 19, 2009 at 5:25 pm

wow just got mine 3 months ago, and another one is about to be launched. but im happy for the chance to get my hands on one...

mjvisuals May 19, 2009 at 5:25 pm

My husband originally had a storm but got so frustrated with it, that he exchanged it for the curve! I stuck with mine, and with all the assistance on this site, it works just fine IMHO... However, if Verizon is willing to sell this Storm 2 in June... I will consider it, but I would love you guys more if I won it! ;)
