I think an announcement is coming soon! I cant wait to get mine, and for all of you scavenger hunters out there...it is possible to win! I did so on day one of the prize giveaway.

But there is no way the screen shifts that fast in real time. And did anyone else notice that keys didnt seem to light up blue when the phone was used in qwerty mode?

lower right hand corner 4 secs in.

but either way CX kinda implied that the newest version of the OS is at least up to par with this if not faster.

If the videos of the Vodaphone version are any indication, that was a simulation in the Verizon commercial, because the screen didn't shift anywhere near that fast in those videos. I just assumed this was a simulation when I saw it during the football game this afternoon.

Regardless of the video, things are getting much better.

It's been coming soon for a long time now I see :(

In my experience companies dont put their products out there mainstream unless they are pretty close to hitting the market!! The Storm is coming!! I give it 2-3weeks at most! Are you ready?

I just noticed there is no link from Verizon Wireless home page to the Storm page. The flashing ad is gone. I think this means an announcement is imminent.

Just saw the commercial watching tonight's football game. Very cool. Where's Telus?

oh man i want one so bad!!!!!!!!!...part of me wants to wait though to make sure they fix any bugs that have their way of coming out in the first release...but i still plan on lusting after it until i can get my hands on one!

i wouldnt expect to see this until the end of the month, maybe around the 23rd im guessing.
Can download and install the simulator for it on blackberry.com website.
Just go to blackberry.com and go to support at the bottom.
Then at the top right under site search. Type in simulator storm and then do a search.
Then click on first link that says blackberry device simulators and then click download a blackberry device simulator. Then from the drop down click on blackberry device simulator 4.7.0 which is 2nd from the top and then put in some nice info and agree and download.
Im sure you guys know that already. Just reading on how many want to see it in action and figure maybe my words will hit somewhere.

The vzw main page has gone storm. It is very similar to last years Voyager release. If it follows that format, they should open it for pre-order late this week. That would put a release on or around Fri. 11/21. I wish they would just drop this thing now. But it looks like the Voyager release is the road map for this one to. They dropped the voyager the friday before thanksgiving. But hey if that is the case I will have a cool new toy to play with to avoid the in-laws on the holiday. And for that VZW I wolud kiss you.

.

not sure when this is going to come out but i know i need it. I already contacted verizon about getting out of my contract early to get it. I got a card in the mail months ago about upgrading to a smartphone without having to pay the early term fee and getting the new two year contract price. I saw is gizmodo.com there is a rumor of a $200 price with a two year contract.

Meh not a big fan of touch screen and this phone doesn't really come close to comparing to the Bold. I am not leaving AT&T and definitely not going to so go for a touchscreen.
