Verizon is now offering the BlackBerry Storm 9530 for $49.99 on a 2-year service plan. This is 25% of what the device went for less than a year ago. The big takeaway for us, however, is that that Verizon often slashes prices on older model BlackBerry devices when they are clearing out inventory to make way for new devices.
There have been rumors floating around that the BlackBerry Storm will be available in the mid to late October time frame. I would be willing to bet that the we start to see so of Verizon’s resellers cutting the price of the BlackBerry Storm down to zero…

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is now available on Vodafone UK for FREE! with select service plans. This isn’t the first free BlackBerry Curve 8520 that we’ve seen, however, it is the first one to be offered free by a major carrier. I wonder if we will see T-Mobile completely subsidize the price of their banded 8520 before too long?

You read the title correctly… Slacker, you know, the company that makes the really cool internet radio app for the BlackBerry, is offering free BlackBerry Curve 83xx devices on all 4 major U.S. carriers. What is better more is that, less signing up to a new 2-year activation with whichever carrier you decide to go with, there are no strings attached.

We thought that the Wal-Mart deal on the T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8520 for $48.88 was a good one. That was until we heard that Amazon is offering the Curve 8520 for 1 cent on a new 2-year contract.
If you are interested in getting a new T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8520 for practically free you would do yourself well to check out this deal at Amazon.

Something is telling me the the BlackBerry Curve 8520, expected to be available this Wednesday, Aug 5th, will sell pretty well. Now, I will qualify this by saying the it will sell pretty well by T-Mobile standards, however, with a sub $50 price tag at Wal-Mart, this device should do well with tweens that want to get a cool phone, but, their parent’s won’t shell out the cash for an iPhone.
