So let me get this, BlackBerry is a Canadian company but U.S gets to release the new BlackBerry Storm 2 first? :S
I mean, I am Canadian and I do love Canada and everything…but this SUCKS!

That VZW and RIM would so soon release the Storm 2 after the Storm 1 must be an indicator that the Storm 1 is not doing that well in sales and has a poor reputation in the marketplace.

I think VZW wants to have a nice touchscreen BB out in time to compete against the new iPhone release, as well as the Pre.

That’s nice to hear. I’m planning to change my iPhone now to try something different.

I just got off the phone with my Verizon rep and they just came out of a meeting. He’s confirmed that two (2) BB phones will be released in June. They did not disclose which phones will be released, but it’s safe to say that the Pearl Flip will be one, with the Storm 2 or Tour being the other. Also, the official Storm SW update will be released on June 15.

I think the insurance causes more trouble than it is worth.

That’s why I don’t have it and instead bought a black BB condom to keep it from breaking from my clumsy hands.

@nomanarmy – i think you should wait a couple weeks into the release before dropping the storm into the washing machine or dishwasher. but it kinda depends because they might have storm 1 stocked up as well.

@Rob – I personally feel Verizon does better without the TV and ad hype when coming out with new phones.
Viral marketing is so much more powerful as it’s all user reviews and opinions and if they are positive in the beginning, they will be the louder voice.

Plus it would be interesting to see if Verizon does release the Tour and the Storm 2 around the same time. That would be a huuuuge kickstart for the summer I think as this gives the consumer more “options” in choosing a smartphone. This will then be totally decided based on who likes what. Some people love the storm, others prefer a keyboard.

But again, quiet releases always do best as everyone is waiting and becomes impulsive.
