We just got word that Verizon Stores are now receiving their BlackBerry Storm 2 dummy units and training is finally available for retail associates. All that should mean that the Storm 2’s launch date is quickly approaching. November has been the target date for a while now, but with stores already prepping for the launch, availability will probably be early in the month.
That reliable tip came in about the same time that CrackBerry posted an image of a Storm 2 dummy phone sitting on a Best Buy shelf. What other proof do you need? The BlackBerry Storm 2 will be here soon whether you want it or not.
“Worth the wait”
…if you liked the original Storm but felt that it lacked a bit of polish.
My predictions… more fail! with a chance of rain.
It does look much better, I think it will do really good. Seems to have addressed all concerns and then some. Hurry up and launch it already!!!
For those of you out there with hearing problems, or hearing aids, it looks like Blackberry, or RIM has short changed us again. The storm 2 has only an M3 rating, which is about the lowest you can go in California. It is not rated for T-Coils. T-coils are devices in hearing aids that allow people with hearing problems to connect using a device worn around our device that allows us to connect a wireless device to our hearing aids. If anyone knows anything else, please contact me. I have called Rim to try and find out more information. I was promised that someone would get back to me in 4 days. So far a week has gone by without a response.
Stormlaunches on the 28th. Prepping store for launch
