The whole e-mail update thing has been a load of crap so far. If you rely on that for your information, you wouldn't even know that BB's web site has posted a live Storm page. Maybe VZW will redeem itself by using the e-mail update method to send us the pre-order link when it is available, but I am not holding my breath???
I never even got a stupid confirmation email. And I signed up once, and then a second time when I heard everybody was getting confirmation emails. This was 1 and 2 weeks ago. Checked spam and everything....Nuttin.
