- This phone is so beautiful...I can't wait to get it! I have had BlackBerry for years - back when it was just a brick - and have moved up through the ranks of devices up to now owning the Pearl. I abandoned Verizon after many years to get the Pearl because they wouldn't have it for two years and I have LOVED it...I think that this Storm is going to be a great combination of BlackBerry functionality and technological savoir fare, and I'm certainly jumping ship from AT&T to get it! Thanks for the pictures - I'm so excited.

(Not saying that you are one of them, sandrag.) There is a reason why a carrier would want exclusivity. Take sandrag's post. RIM still made a sale, however, Verizon now has a new customer. Some people will go to Verizon for this phone and some will not. Verizon benefits from the exclusivity. For those that will not go to Verizon, they can wait for the phone to come to other carriers or buy the phone from outside the country. Either way, RIM still makes the sales.
Excellent point. I couldn't agree more. My wife and I will be switching to VZW from Tmobile and I know there will be a lot of others who will do so too. And then there will be the ones who won't and who will buy it overseas or wherever and have them unlocked. Personally I feel better having one from the carrier with insurance. At least I know that if anything happens, I can always go into the store and it can be looked at and even swapped out, if need be. You can't do the same when you buy an unlocked one. Trying taking a Storm in to AT&T for repair or whatever and see what happens.
Either way, whether or not you will use the Storm on VZW, TMO, or AT&T, we will all have a wonderful phone that I think we will all enjoy!09-29-08 06:46 AMLike 0
