According to BGR, Verizon Wireless might be discounting a cornucopia of handsets and EV-DO dongles as early as tomorrow. Motorola makes up the majority of the handsets, but VZW, LG, Casio, Samsung and RIM make up the rest. The most surprising is the Storm. But it looks as if the discount won’t be anything significant. The MIR is expected to jump from $50 to $70 amounting to an additional $20. Hit the jump for the list of devices that could see a discount starting tomorrow.

They are going to have to give more than a rebate to get people to buy the BB Storm. Heck, i doubt free would even change peoples minds.
Amen.
Wow, Peter come on? You hate on the BB storm all the time, have you even used it since the new firmware updates?
The BB Storm certainly isn’t a iPhone killer but it’s hell of a lot better then most American phones, if not the best Verizon phone hands down.
I have one, and four of my friends have one. They absolutely love it. Once you get down the click screen you can type just as fast as on a physical keyboard. At least I can.
All the complaints I’ve seen on that phone have been from people user older firmwares and only using the phone for a few minutes. Yeah, I guess I could kind of see why they wouldn’t like it.
The mighty V is only doing this in hopes of geting poorly selling stock off of shelves.
Who the hell do they think they are?!??!
Bastards.
I just want the darn HTC touch pro to drop. thing is going to cost me an arm and a leg…
Marc M., I challenge thee to a duel. I guarantee I can text/e-mail faster on my BlackBerry Curve than you can on your Storm.
I don’t doubt that, but I bet I can keep up with you.
Don’t challenge a straight up OG gangsta to a duel son! I’ll distract you with my charming demeanor and devilish good looks.
I’ll hold your coats for the duel!
I’d wager my t-mobile g1 would smoke you both for texting and emails!
lmao BBStorm sucks<3 And G1 BOMB! I’ve had friends already throwing there BB Storm out cause the screen gets curved in they use it like 24/7 -.-. There trying to hit G and it goes to like ijdk lmfao :P
