Any one know if authorized retailers like go wireless will be carrying the storm? same release day? I saw Best Buy is one, just thinking the supplies or demand may be lower at my local go wireless.

Has this been told to anyone else?
I was told the same thing by one out of 10 stores lol.
-I don't know who u are, I don't know what u want. If u are looking for a ransom, I can tell u I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills that I have acquired over the course of watching Chuck Norris in Walker, Texas Ranger, skills that make me a nightmare for people like u.
2) I have yet to not be able to call telesales and get a phone before its release. Perhaps we should get together a rep list with name, extension. Anyone hoping that maybe by Wednesday a friendly rep will be willing to ship out some Storms?
There are reps over at crackberry forums taking pre orders guarenteeing deliv 21st.
ive owned about every verizon phone they have had, but never owned a blackberry! does the blackberrys have good reception, and since they started making cameras, hows there 2.0mp ALSO does/will the camera feature have a crop feature!! thanks
we can only go by what the CSR tell us, that's what i heard for a price TWICE when i called VZW. And again, I agree that price sounds ridiculously low for retail but I don't work for VZW so I can't argue with a CSR and honestly I'm not going to argue with any of you, but don't say the info we provided is "spam"
When you post that a Storm will be $369 at full retail it is . You could have called 2 more times and received a totally different price. Taking information from CSR's and posting it here is pointless, they are known to be wrong. Lets think about it from a realistic point of view; no newly released RIM device is that inexpensive not to mention a CDMA RIM device. I posted something on the hand of $549 and that is because I have reliable sources, when VZW_E posted $499 I was pleasantly surprised; it is best to overshoot a price than undercut it. I may have been over by $50 but it is better than undercutting $130. I called it what it was and thanks for it.

What reps over at crackberry are guaranteeing delivery on the 21st? Each rep that I've seen over there have only guaranteed that they'd ship it on the 21st.
When I purchase the Storm, I will have one phone with a micro usb port (my Storm!!) and my wife will have an older Motorola with a mini usb. I would like to use one charger if possible, especially when traveling. What adapter do I need, and is there any risk (especially to the Storm) of using an adapter? Would it be better to use micro to mini or vice versa? Thanks for your help!

I was the orig one to post the 499 retail price and he backed me up via screen shot. Thanks again vzw_e. But inventory is not avail nor does it have a price. So dunno how they are offering it early. I called people out on here for posting spam ie bad prices etc. So until they can back it up don't believe it. The sku is in the system but dosent even show up as 0 in ctdi its blank-but at the store its 0. So no sending it out early-so far. Will keep posted.

I'd said use the mini to micro...you can usually pick it up at a tmobile store for like 5 bucks...

I have a question about texting. I've never used a blackberry so can I send/receive texts that have more than 160 characters? or will it be broken up into separate texts?
Also does it have threaded sms?
send a pix message and you can add txt for 1000 charactrs

Thats extremely a dumb thing to say...rather you were off by 50 or by 250 your were still WRONG like the rest of us. And me being one of the people who also got the 369 pricing shows that there is SOMEONE from VZW who gave out that price..we didnt just make a Guesstimate like you did. Just some food for thought!..Less than 6 days left!!!! YAY!! lol
