Verizon drops BlackBerry Storm price to $99.99 on contract

by Darren Murph posted Jul 18th 2009 at 12:22PM

With all signs (and by "all," we mean "all") pointing to a new Storm joining Verizon Wireless' lineup in the not-too-distant future, it's just about the perfect time to start discounting the current model in hopes of working that inventory down before the inevitable launch of numero dos. Starting today, VZW customers can snap up the SurePress-equipped Storm 9530 for $99.99 on contract, which is a full Benjamin less than it has been since debuting last November. If you're looking for a word of advice on the situation, here's ours: hold out for the next revision -- you'll thank us later.

It bothers me that people still think the Storm is a bad handset. If you actually tried updating the firmware, you'd notice a ridiculous difference in both speed and reliability. Seriously, if you have the device handy, try updating to .151, and then think about writing an updated review of the handset. You won't regret it.

I've even written a blog post on the matter: http://www.mobilitea.com/blog/2009/07/12/upgrade-blackberry-storm-os-151/

I highly recommend updating if you get a chance. You won't regret it.
