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!
magijokins May 20, 2009 at 5:48 pm
I love my Storm. But yearning for the "Odin"/"Storm 2". They could call it the "Dingleberry" and I'd get it. I'd rather get it for free though.
sdbogue May 20, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I would like one...
HannahsDaddy May 20, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I would love to win this phone!
FINGER360 May 20, 2009 at 5:49 pm
I must winnn!!! I am ready for an UPGRADE from my storm.
uhno May 20, 2009 at 5:49 pm
But Kevin what if it does come out June 1st? Pretty big risk no?
lancelincoln May 20, 2009 at 5:50 pm
My dog's dad's name was Odin and he was the greatest dog in the world before he was hit by a car. True story so I want a phone named Odin.....
dyeguy21 May 20, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Worth a shot. I have liked the storm since the .122 update so I can only imagine Odin to be amazing. Go Raven Go
vze24 May 20, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I may not be eligible for an upgrade till september but it wouldn't hurt to have this new phone now!!! I wasn't to thrilled with storm 1, but I know storm 2 will be very carefully upgraded when it comes out.
copyboy May 20, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Man this'll be kinda crazy if it does drop in June. I don't really like getting shafted.
sandmanfuzzy May 20, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Come on June 1st! Thanks!
doernemann May 20, 2009 at 6:01 pm
We should get a free storm 2 for dealing with all the issues on the first one...
capeo53 May 20, 2009 at 6:02 pm
I doubt that it will be released in june, but I love my storm and would love to have the new one.
snoh May 20, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Storm 2! Here's to a June Release!!
Early as possible please :D
duzt2782 May 20, 2009 at 6:05 pm
yes yes
it will be so awesome if i could win
BandaMillo May 20, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I bought an 8310 in january, but I smartly jumped into the pool with it a few months ago. Now I am stuck with a samsung crappy phone. And since I am on ATT I cant switch for another 2 years. So, I am waiting for the 8900 to come out and use my dads upgrade (if he will let me). But a free Storm 2?? I think that might be a better deal.
robert.j.garrett May 20, 2009 at 6:10 pm
I WANT ONE...PLEASE!!! :)
rjolite May 20, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Funny that kinda rhymes.
petergriffin#AC May 20, 2009 at 6:10 pm
it's mine all mine. June 1 here we come
DroidChopper1 May 20, 2009 at 6:14 pm
...bucket of comments!! I have the Verizon 9530...and unlike for most here it seems...has been great! It just takes a little time to tweek and get the right apps, and adjustments to your liking. Most people that "bi..h" about it usually are the ones not taking the time to do so.
My opinion only of course...
AC1
snowboardsports May 20, 2009 at 6:16 pm
please send a storm two over my way, the first one was sick (depending on who you ask) but i would love to get this next gen storm
helloneumann#cb May 20, 2009 at 6:17 pm
I doubt we'll see the Odin before September. You know how Verizon is. But a free one would be great if it does come out in June.
Drucifer007 May 20, 2009 at 6:17 pm
I hope they come out with this soon but this time support the damn thing!
Ebrew2 May 20, 2009 at 6:17 pm
We wont see this phone til end of summer in my opinion, my Best friend is an invenvory manager at VZW and he said don't expect to see anything until after 7/4 at the earliest, but as mentioned in the article it is VZW here so maybe it'll be ubder the tree for xmas, lol!
jal129 May 20, 2009 at 6:21 pm
A Storm's a-brewing and it's in my pants!! I mean my pocket you pervs! HA Pick me though I need an upgrade.
Jelloman18 May 20, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Im hoping there is one coming june 1st!
admanaus May 20, 2009 at 6:22 pm
happy go luck joy!
itsawrap May 20, 2009 at 6:24 pm
yes please
crazyjat May 20, 2009 at 6:24 pm
the blackberry storm needs a better processor as the one i had was annoyingly slow at times especially openin applications and a pain to use while doing something else.
why do the idiots at vodafone have to lock the fones onto their network with the crap branded software
i have now got the 8900 and i love it but im waiting for the 'storm 2' to come out and hopefully it wont be tied down to vodafone, whose network coverage is good too the point of the network being too busy half the time to make and recieve calls
wouldnt it be a nice idea if t mobile sold the blackberry storm 2?
on a more positive note, putting a 16gb micro sd card in a blackberry storm turns it into a great media player and the brilliant screen is great for watching movies on. i think that this is one of its strong points over the iphone
philstorm1 May 20, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Well if this is indeed true that they are releasing a Storm 2 in less than a year since the first generation I think we were taken advantage of. I am sure that the new device will probably correct a lot of the issues we deal with on a daily basis. Such as slow response, accelerometer failure, lockups, etc.
If it is released in June I would love one and then I can throw out the old one. Can't wait to see if there are improvements.
Xenob May 20, 2009 at 6:28 pm
I like my Storm, and I hope the Storm 2 will be that much better. All I can say is I want!
KingAlex61390 May 20, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Hope It Comes Out June First Tat Way Maybe I Can Get An Early Bday Gift For Myself lol
ownzy May 20, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Lets hope for June 2nd thats my Birthday!!!!
miseri May 20, 2009 at 6:30 pm
please please please please please please please please please please PLEASE let this happen!
jlii May 20, 2009 at 6:33 pm
IMHO June is very sporty. If it is released in June my guess would be towards the end. The Tour has been scouped and talked' about now for months and I would think they would release that before the Storm 2. Storm 1 is "said" to still be selling well. For instance Verizon is still selling the 8830 and we know how long that has been in inventory. They would introduce a replacement for the 8830 (Tour) before replacing a Storm 1, still selling "well."
I want a free storm 2 just like the next person, but knowing Verizon as many of us do I put the better money on August or "later".
jmgeronimo May 20, 2009 at 6:32 pm
I'm gettin tired of my Verizon Storm 1, I want that #2 !!!
knoche May 20, 2009 at 6:35 pm
I deserve a free storm 2 for everything I've been through with my storm
Thasitis May 20, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Thank you Kevin for your E-Mail and your promise, that the first one will be mine. :-)))))))))))))))
jj711 May 20, 2009 at 6:37 pm
I think this is such a fabulous contest idea, ahh this is why I absolutely adore this site!!
Thanks CrackBerry.com!
Matisyahu May 20, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Great contest idea.
WOESTE May 20, 2009 at 6:38 pm
I have suffered almost the whole way through the storm 1 failures and letdowns. the leaks have helped, but i would love to try out a storm 2. I haven't won yet so this is the perfect opportunity. Hook me up!!!
antprdgm May 20, 2009 at 6:39 pm
that would be amazing... my fiancee has the storm one and it is a pain in my ass... i have an 8330 and it's not fast enough for me... barring the bold, which us big red users won't see for eons, i want a storm 2!!
WOESTE May 20, 2009 at 6:39 pm
I have suffered almost the whole way through the storm 1 failures and letdowns. the leaks have helped, but i would love to try out a storm 2. I haven't won yet so this is the perfect opportunity. Hook me up!!!
Insurrection666 May 20, 2009 at 6:41 pm
I'm kinda pissed that they would put a 2nd gen out so soon after I adopted mine but I'd still take it.
jlseal May 20, 2009 at 6:42 pm
That's ballsy. I like it. I'd also like a storm 2.
liveify May 20, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Woot storm 2!
matthewful May 20, 2009 at 6:47 pm
You dirty dirty little girl ; )
dscox May 20, 2009 at 6:47 pm
Is this available to Australian users?
I have a Storm 1. Biggest piece of dog poo I've ever bought. Wish I had a Bold or an iPhone even.
I've read about people in the US with problems and stories of how they simply go in and get a new one - replaced on the spot - or simply swap it out for a better device (like the Bold)... unfortunately in back arse of the world, things don't work that way.
We don't get free swaps, or new devices (that work!)... we have to send it off to get it repaired - that's our only choice.
Four weeks later... you're still left with a device that doesn't work!
Perhaps the "Storm 2" might be better?!?!?
PanaSama May 20, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Ok Kevin its a bet, i really hope for june 1st launch.
aydin96 May 20, 2009 at 6:52 pm
June 1st launch. Free Storm 2... What a great day would that be...
ikeymo22 May 20, 2009 at 6:54 pm
I hope it comes out this june a need a new Berry for FREE!!
akanoname May 20, 2009 at 6:57 pm
I don't have the storm 1, but I'll be more than happy to win the Storm 2.
gatlnboi3 May 20, 2009 at 7:01 pm

raeberry May 20, 2009 at 7:11 pm
...I would click my heels 3 times and wish a Storm 2 in my hands right now. I so want to luv my Storm 1 but the various issues I am having make it "almost" impossible. It would be such a coup for Verizon to release a stable, feature laden, application rich (hint, hint, i.e. Adobe, flash, etc.) Blackberry Storm...I an getting chills just thinking about it.
majik8ball May 20, 2009 at 7:12 pm

debias May 20, 2009 at 7:32 pm
I wonder what moral and ethical bone Rim and Verizon will have when this actually gets ready to roll out?
Chuck Q May 20, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Maybe miracles actually can come true!!
no?
oh well i still want one anyway!
saenfinger May 20, 2009 at 7:34 pm

The.Godfather May 20, 2009 at 8:02 pm
I dont know if I am excited about this or just straight up p-ed off. Something says this is a make up for a bad mistake.
edge231 May 20, 2009 at 8:02 pm
Hoping Storm 1 gets an official VZW update eventually. Wouldn't mind winning a Storm 2 though :)
IdleInvest May 20, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Oh baby, you can do it!
lvfd1220 May 20, 2009 at 8:03 pm
I would really love to have one of the storm 2. I have the pearl 8100 and really love it the storm has got to be awsome!
gomdori May 20, 2009 at 8:06 pm
i don't think it will happen, but, what the heck, if it does here's my chance to win one......
lilo619 May 20, 2009 at 8:06 pm
i'll take a storm 1 but a storm 2 sounds even better. give me one please
postflight May 20, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Cool!
jreggieh May 20, 2009 at 8:09 pm
I can't believe there is a Storm 2 coming out 7 months after the Storm, especially with all the problems with it. Seems to me they need to fix the Storm before releasing a Storm 2. Or at least give us the option to upgrade to the newer version.
NeonLemmyKoopa May 20, 2009 at 8:10 pm
dont care when it comes out so long as I win ;D
skellingjack May 20, 2009 at 8:10 pm
I would absolute love this phone. I can't wait for it to launch and see how they have changed the touchscreen. I know a lot of people complained about the original click screen but I thought that it actually made if feel somewhat like a real keyboard.
Atumrahs May 20, 2009 at 8:10 pm
I just upgraded my storm to the .141 with 5.0 hybrid, and I loaded a cool android theme on it, the phone has been running great since the upgrade and wouldn't trade it in for anything aside from a storm 2 hah! so sign me up for that

Doubt the new Storm will release in July. Verizon likes to keep you waiting.

Well, plain and simple, I need a new phone, i cant upgrade for just about ever, i dont have any spare cash to just buy one, not to mention i want one so freaking bad :P

It might be wishful thinking...but I got a mailer today offering an "early upgrade" on my phone lines...featuring the storm and the voyager...couple other cheap phones..but at the upgrade price..several months ahead of my upgrade time. Makes me think they are looking to clear out inventory quickly!
beaner75 May 20, 2009 at 8:47 pm
I bought my Storm for myself for full price...no upgrade. I always like to have the latest and greatest. Well it looks like I was duped. So I would love to win the newest from the best site out there. Thanks!

A new Storm 2 would be great!!
tedkord May 20, 2009 at 9:10 pm
I actually think there's a chance it will launch in June. I originally wanted the Storm, but once it came out and I had a chance to try it, I was disappointed. The newer one looks like RIM may have been spending their time working on the fixes in the sequel, rather than for the original. Unfortunately, I couldn't wait on a new every 2, as my old VX8300 was on it's last legs. And I can't afford to pay full retail for any decent smartphone (what with the family demanding food and shelter and such - Bastards!) ;-)

As a tech geek, I always like to see the newest thing released. But as a consumer who bought a Storm about a month ago, I'd be unhappy if they released a new one so soon... But as an educated consumer and a tech geek, I knew what I was getting into when I shelled out the money.
In other words, here's my entry. Here's hoping it comes out sooner than later.
DLinK May 20, 2009 at 9:27 pm
I want one... I can't wait to see the improvements!
htech May 20, 2009 at 9:27 pm
I would take a free storm but I can tell you this...if we don't see an update that's worth beans there is no way in hell that I would buy the storm 2. We better get a free upgrade to the storm2 or at a very good discount. My storm is pretty good but it's really buggy. I would go back to my iphone in a heartbeat if I could get ATT service. If 2 is coming out this soon it looks like storm 1 owners are screwed. Rim and verizon have really rubbed me wrong.
mamasaun May 20, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have one of these phones!!!!!
answaiksvoltage May 20, 2009 at 9:30 pm
I'll take a Storm2! please, please, please!
mixtape86 May 20, 2009 at 9:30 pm
I want.. I need.. haha. I am coming from a non-Blackberry device so a free Storm 2 would defiantly be a nice plus to switching lol.
zyxwvu44 May 20, 2009 at 9:31 pm
I just bought my storm, not only that but i broke the screen in a week and just bought a replacement lcd.... I would LOVE a the new storm, and would brag about it to everyone while making sure to mention crackberry.com =)
eharrisb May 20, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Come on this is Verizon I am still waiting on a software update past .75 to become official.
I predict the Storm 2 will be out some time in August, sorry to be a party pooper, remember this is Verizon.
kg4gyt May 20, 2009 at 9:32 pm
I could really use this one. My 1s gen storm isn't nearly as great as I had hoped.
waihealani May 20, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Bring on the freebies...
r1cord May 20, 2009 at 9:36 pm
I want you storm 2!
OCD SS May 20, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Hey if it's free, I'll give it a shot...
Please?
dariuscuh May 20, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Storm 2... kool... free Storm 2... even kooler.
hybrid1976 May 20, 2009 at 9:39 pm
I would luv to have me the storm 2! i initially did not like the storm but now i have had the chance to use a friend's and it's growing on me. so gimme gimme gimme! i gotta have that phone...PLEASE!!!!
insanely May 20, 2009 at 9:40 pm
i'm always a skeptic until i see proof with my own eyes. time will tell. good luck to any winners...IF any ;)
jjmcp22 May 20, 2009 at 9:41 pm
I love my storm but a free storm 2 what could be better
DaX05 May 20, 2009 at 9:42 pm
I say June 16th, the Storm 2 will come out haha. ( I would say end of July but this is a JUNE contest.)
Good luck to everyone!!
jarrettsmama May 20, 2009 at 9:42 pm
I want to win one for my husband. We have Pearls now, but all he keeps talking about is the Storm II. My son very happy about the prospect of an extra blackberry in the house too!
TXStorm May 20, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Sign me up!
RevGreg May 20, 2009 at 9:44 pm
At this point it looks like the Storm 2 will be out within 6 months of when I took possession...Verizon had best be thinking about what sort of special offer they're going to give to those who have been their guinea pigs!
lisathaonguyen May 20, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I need a Blackberry upgrade! Pick me! Pick me!! =)
mcp770 May 20, 2009 at 9:44 pm
I like the click screen but a glass screen would be pretty cool so I would definitely like a shot.
justinradice May 20, 2009 at 9:45 pm
I work for Big Red and I honestly would be surprised to see this phone launch this year....let alone in June. I mean there hasn't even been a official firmware update since early Dec 2008. But if CB wants to give me one.....more power to them. Good contest guys!!!!!!!!
morrob3423 May 20, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Will be interesting to see when it actually comes out
stenny May 20, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I am not a lucky person EVER, when it comes to contests. Man, am I praying for my luck to change now!
AlphaSkidz May 20, 2009 at 9:47 pm
I want one
ChEeZzEe May 20, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Gimme Gimme
dolfinx May 20, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Even though I'm not on the site very often, this is still a cool site! I'm hoping that I get the Storm 2...Looks kinda interesting!
mrgadgetboy May 20, 2009 at 9:50 pm
I hope they do better on Storm 2 than they did with Storm #1... :-(
rotto16 May 20, 2009 at 9:52 pm
I'm in for a June 1st date
aghanam May 20, 2009 at 9:53 pm
i want it, god please be released june 1st!!!!
jmw_0102 May 20, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Blackberry Storm? What's that? I think you need to send me one so I can familiarize myself with it...
Lafgr8 May 20, 2009 at 9:55 pm
I would love to get a Storm 2. Great contest.
Arlie May 20, 2009 at 9:56 pm
Change is always good.
jsvor May 20, 2009 at 9:58 pm
Hopefully it comes out in June. Had my Storm since the day it came out and starting to get frustrated with Verizon's updates to it.
Hypurr May 20, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Let's hope it comes out June 1! Love my storm and would love to get my hands on a Storm 2.
nylife May 20, 2009 at 10:01 pm
I'd be shocked if there was a June release, shocked if we got it this summer. However, I respect the contest and think it's a bold move on Crackberry's behalf. I'll give it a go. Count me in.
AdvantsTrade May 20, 2009 at 10:02 pm
rim i want that storm 2 pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bring it out june 1st lol...
bigsunny May 20, 2009 at 10:02 pm
love free stuff! sign me up!
milleraz May 20, 2009 at 10:04 pm
I'm not sure if I want the Storm 2 but it will probably be better than the Storm that I have right now. My biggest problem is I will randomly lost 3G signal but if I reset the radio 3G signal will be there again.
dhyde79 May 20, 2009 at 10:06 pm
count me in, I'd take one for free.....
aketch May 20, 2009 at 10:08 pm
look, it's a comment! give me a storm 2 please!
FEHE13Y May 20, 2009 at 10:10 pm
i'd be perfectly happy if they'd just fix my storm 1. but, i wouldn't mind this either. nor the tour.
fmemon06 May 20, 2009 at 10:11 pm
if i get a storm i'll be able to end world hunger once and for all...
T24_Man May 20, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Woo Hoo! Go Crackberry! I love the storm (even with its os issues) and thanks to os leaks, it is better than ever. But a storm 2?! I'm always ready for an upgrade to the latest and hopefully greatest!
buzzinhornets May 20, 2009 at 10:13 pm
pick me
ggong5150#cb May 20, 2009 at 10:14 pm
I hope Verizon gets their act together and tests the new Storm before they release it. I went through 4 of them until I finally got fed up with it and sold it. I had one as well as all my buddies and we traded phones and went back to the trusty old Curve.
friedmonkey May 20, 2009 at 10:15 pm
I've been waiting impatiently ever since I heard that it was coming!
Salmonsavage May 20, 2009 at 10:18 pm
I LOVE MY CURRENT STORM HAVE A STORM 2 WOULD KICK A.... JUST LIKE CRACKBERRY!
santana11981 May 20, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Come on i have never won anything....pick me!! pick me!!
ekafka May 20, 2009 at 10:24 pm
Ive been a blackberry user for over 4 years and can't wait for the release of the new storm. I really hope it is relased in june.
awalkerz May 20, 2009 at 10:28 pm
June 1st, June 1st, June 1st...
Mike13USN May 20, 2009 at 10:32 pm
I like these odds!
bodybiz May 20, 2009 at 10:34 pm
What an awesome contest! Great job Kev!
vdubnbass May 20, 2009 at 10:34 pm
wow Can't believe that there is going to be a new one so soon!
amac.mason May 20, 2009 at 10:36 pm
I'm in the market for a storm, so might as well go for a free one. My plan either way is to buy in the first or second week of June. If Storm 2 come out within 30 days, I'll pay the restock fee. If I win, again, I'll pay the restock fee.
lonnadee May 20, 2009 at 10:37 pm
...I'll play along. ME!!!! ME!!!! ME!!!!
MrGixxer6 May 20, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Might as well mark me down for one, even though i'm sure this is all just hear say hehe.. But if it isn't i don't want to miss out LOL
b737boss May 20, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Yep I'll take 2....
obxKevin May 20, 2009 at 10:41 pm

i am on my 5th storm. so i hope i get one
tpop35 May 20, 2009 at 10:44 pm
Hmm, a Blackberry Storm 2, I'll believe it when I see it, especially if it comes out in June. Considering the Storm 1 was supposed to have come out around this time last year.
But none the less I would not turn down the Storm 2 especially if it has Wifi, which the Storm 1 should've had.
RoxyGr52884 May 20, 2009 at 10:44 pm
I WANT A STORM 2!!! I NEVER WIN ANYTHING...PLEASE? PRETTY PLEASE ;)
jason1332 May 20, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Best contest idea ever...won't cost you, Verizon, a developer, or a advertiser anything since there is no way in *%# a June launch will happen.
amirnabilkamelsaad May 20, 2009 at 10:45 pm
I'm in...1 Storm 2 please
lazywolf23 May 20, 2009 at 10:46 pm
you guys are awesome. This is a huge gamble.
amd2132 May 20, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Hook a brother up suffering with business cards holding his click screen in place!!!
ectro May 20, 2009 at 10:49 pm
OHHHH MAN THAT LOOKS AWSOME. Hope it comes on June 1st, better chance for me and everyone else to win!
airens99 May 20, 2009 at 10:54 pm
I'm hoping for a June 1st release! Thanks CrackBerry!haha!!!
neophile May 20, 2009 at 10:54 pm
pls tell me they r coming out with a GSM version of the storm.............
jesterssoul May 20, 2009 at 10:59 pm
winning makes me smile and happy. storm not as much but no huge complaints.
bboy2143 May 20, 2009 at 11:00 pm
Count me in! Thanks for doing this CB! :)
baldy9000 May 20, 2009 at 11:02 pm
I don't think it'll be out before Halloween...
but just in case it is in June I will post in here.
:)
kcs123073 May 20, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Using Storm 1, would love to get my hands on Version 2.
Faruk88 May 20, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Here's to hoping that it comes out on June 1st :D
kcs123073 May 20, 2009 at 11:04 pm
Would love to get my hands on another Storm.
rmillings May 20, 2009 at 11:08 pm
I would love to have a chance at a new and improved Storm!
hawgwild May 20, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Still waiting for the Storm 2 to replace my Treo 700W.
kbch May 20, 2009 at 11:10 pm
A Storm 2 for free? I'll bite! Still waiting for an official upgrade for my original Storm... But I'll forget that for a Storm 2.
-kbch
josh.perry May 20, 2009 at 11:14 pm
well...I can't win if I don't enter
vizcat May 20, 2009 at 11:16 pm
I need a new storm 2....my storm is suffering from a bad case of dandruff below the surface of the screen... =(
asifur May 20, 2009 at 11:16 pm
i want storm 2...
pick me.... :)
wbortolin May 20, 2009 at 11:16 pm
I think you're right that you won't be giving many away. It sounds like a minor hardware upgrade to work out some of the kinks. But nevertheless, I'd love the upgrade!
armenkash May 20, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Was not a big fan of the first Storm that came out so I hope this new one is much better. I was soo close to buying the first version too.. good thing I didnt. One of my friends bought one and ended up replacing it 4 times with Verizon.
Also this Contest sounds, would love to win it.
mdrharris May 20, 2009 at 11:17 pm
I love Crackberry!!!!! I doubt it will be released in June, but if it is, I would love to win one!
wojcieck May 20, 2009 at 11:19 pm
I have a shiteous alltel blackberry that's on it's last leg...it'd be kind of nice to have the new storm 2 :)
gilligan793 May 20, 2009 at 11:21 pm
This is a great idea for a contest :D Sad to say that its gotta be the next step of the phone just got 4 months ago. Lol
armenkash May 20, 2009 at 11:22 pm
Cant wait for the new Storm 2! wanted to get the first one but it had way too many issues. Thanks Crackberry for this contest. You guys ROCK!
karcky May 20, 2009 at 11:24 pm
not only does NBA have amazing happens, but you guys at crackberry giving out storm 2 also do amazing things to the world.
thanks.
ChEeZzEe May 20, 2009 at 11:27 pm

cables3 May 20, 2009 at 11:31 pm
I would love the new Storm 2!! I have a big mouth and a lot of friends so I would be a great advertising perk!! You won't be sorry!!
gtaryder08 May 20, 2009 at 11:33 pm
Storm 2 oh yea come to papa!
TekNiKal May 20, 2009 at 11:33 pm
do you randomly pick a comment or do you read every comment and give a prize to the best comments?
jaystroup00 May 20, 2009 at 11:35 pm
Guess what. I'm gonna win a Storm 2.
vasiliosm May 20, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Original storm owner. Thank god for leaked os's. Great phone idea bad software. Wifi could be big, memory leak fixed, faster screen rotation and app switching, list goes on. Would love to not have to pay for phone upgrade so soon. Pick me! Hope it comes in June!
