Verizon and Blackberry Kick up a Storm!

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Oct 08 2008

Well the long awaited touch screen BlackBerry storm was officially announced today, coming to the world soon from Verizon Wireless, and Vodafone. Woohoo, that means it’s coming to my neck of the woods as well.

Verizon Wireless, Vodafone Group (NYSE:VOD)(LSE:VOD) and Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ:RIMM)(TSX:RIM) today announced that the BlackBerry(R) Storm(TM) will be available later this fall, exclusively to Verizon Wireless customers in the U.S. and Vodafone customers in Europe, India, Australia and New Zealand.

Looks good doesn’t it, and I’m not going to go down the iPhone comparison route here, because RIM included a cheesy video in the press release that took the cool factor right away from this news.
