    If anyone had a verifiable release date, there wouldn't be all this speculation at this point. The only ones who can give us the real date are at Verizon, and they're keeping quiet, it seems.

    As much as I would love to relay that is correct no one knows for sure. I KNOW the date it is SUPPOSED to be released but it's not a gaurantee, so until VZW acknowledges it to the public, all dates are speculatory. There is a reason it's internal information, and with that is subject to change, so nothing should be taken as confirmation just yet.

    I posted this in the date/price sticky thread, but this thread is relevant so here it is. My experience over phone sales just moments ago...

    I asked about getting a Curve in order start a new Verizon plan and within 30 days "return it to get the Storm". Without me asking anything about the Storm, the sales person said that Verizon should be announcing a release date for it next week! He asked me to hold so he can confirm this, which I gladly did, and after he looked up a memo or something he confirmed that next week they will be announcing the release date.

    This is just what I was told by the phone sales person, so we shall see but now I'm excited about next week.

    I figured they would do this. Looks like we have something to look forward to next Wednesday. I really hope this marketing strategy is paying off. Compared to Verizon, I felt as if T-Mobile was much more structured with their press release (minimal leaks) and a solid launch date was given a month in advance along with pre-orders beginning at the same time. That has paid off really well for T-Mobile and whatever Verizon has planned, hopefully it will eclipse that. Just my two cents.

    At this point.. Verizon's Marketing Strategy = VERY LITTLE LOL. It sucks, oh well. Something tells me, however, that very soon we're going to be sick of seeing and hearing about the storm, especially after its released.

    November 4th per my VZW Government Account Rep. He said something about a pre-order available like a week before... My company (and me personally) are gonna scoop these things up! They are sick!

    The one thing I want to know, and hopefully they explain this next week if they give the date(s), is if the phone will be available first online and what that date will be. Someone on here said that a store told them it would release the same day online and in stores. That doesn't make sense to me since this is not what I've seen before, but I'm not familiar with Verizon's strange ways.

    Everyone was under the impression that it was going to be released on November 9th.. As a VZW rep, my data conultant (who is in waterloo, canada right now) said that it was pushed back a week =( allll the way to the 16th.
