BlackBerry Storm 9530 (aka Thunder) Pre-Release Thread

My mistake. So that means it won't be NAM.

Okay. Btw, Rogers is the only GSM carrier of note in Canada.

The air feels weird. Like there is a storm brewing in the distance.

.... the only thing is i dont wana pay for BB plan. It i read yea you can use alot more data but i already have unlimitted internet and everything. My friend has sprint and when they told him he needed this special BB plan hes like nah i dont want it. And i idk i guess they were just like uhmm ok? So he has a BB curve and just has a regular sprint plan. Cant you do the same with verizon?

Sprint's $99 simply everything plan does include Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) data too.. (the same as Verizon's $29.99 Blackberry data add on plan). So if your friend has that plan from sprint, he does have a Blackberry data plan.

As mentioned, Verizon requires you to get a blackberry data plan if you are using a blackberry. No way around that.

Again, "unlimited internet" from a dumb phone isn't the same. The BB can/and does do so much more and some of those features are routed through RIM's network.

Ah nice! Kevin you are a genius! Crackberry and BGR has already jumped all over this. However, it seems like the BG somehow missed the storm references.

[Sam K]

So where are all the people who were doubting BGR last month? Do they believe their information now?

Didn't he originally say it was coming out in November?

Pink Curve is already available online from VZW.
Too bad they aren't offering Red.

I did hear that Telus is owned by Vodaphone which would explain why they got it too.

That partial ownership was sold off several years ago.

[ckamc]

I will have to wait 2 weeks to get mine at a discount... ohh well its going to be worth the wait

[GlydeGuy]

props to Kevin for the scoop.
