BlackBerry Storm 9530 (aka Thunder) Pre-Release Thread

[Stang68]

Are you slow or something?

My post was in response to another post wondering what the jr meant. I think we're all well aware of what "storm" means.

My bad my bad.

Where can we find this ad displayed other than imageshack?

It's not an ad. It's an image sent to most reps in email today, internally hosted. I didn't tinker with the image but I know someone's gonna say "This Looks Shopped, I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time." Just have to trust me.

I actually should have shopped it to add a watermark. Was getting tired of other sites *cough-boygenius-cough* taking my images without crediting me. Oh well.
Here's to knowledge

Thanks for the response Kevin! Wasn't doubting you, just wanted to know if the ad said anything else

Blackberry Thunder 9500's on sale on Ebay. As you see they will work on GSM and CDMA Rev 0.

Monday we will see a shadow with the shape of the Storm, and it will say "coming soon" with no specs listed.

Thank you so much.
And I also can't wait for this weekend to be over. It's a weekend of work for me anyway, so I am looking forward to Monday. Could you give us more info, including maybe a time for this event, as the emails progress?

It should work on Rev.A. I think these Thunders are jokes. They are fake pictures and he has 4 of them.

Anybody got $1600 to lend me for the Blackberry Thunder on eBay?

I don't know that it's a joke. They come by it honestly. It's a presale. They don't even have them.

[Crucial_Xtreme]

Right, it is a presale, I was just referring to the specs.

[reuvypoo]

I don't know that it's a joke. They come by it honestly. It's a presale. They don't even have them.

A presale for September 18th? I doubt the phone would come out almost 3 weeks before out earliest predictions. Unless unlocked versions will be available before our Verizon version, I doubt it. And the phone obviously will have EVDO Rev.A, I think it's been confirmed multiple times (at least once or twice). Either this supposed presaler has no knowledge or may be banking on the phone's release on September 15th.
Edit: Oops, it sounds like the buyer won't get it until it's released. So this presaler won't get it early, just selling it on ebay in anticipation. Seems kind of silly.

But people have bought phones, especially blackberry's that were in fact the real deal on eBay before. I forget which one but I remember 6-9 months back someone bought a blackberry on eBay and it was legit. Then the review got posted on crackberry. Like the day the bidder got the phone.
