Verizon Unveils Blackberry Storm > Nice

Nice

From what I read earlier, this is an exclusive device with Verizon, provided they can sell a million units in a certain time period. (year?) It potentially could be a much longer wait before it shows up in Sprint's lineup. And with the Samsung Instinct in play at Sprint, I don't see them pushing the issue to hard.

But I would certainly prefer to keep my Sprint service if it were available by next March, when my 2 year contract is up.

Almost grabbed a Curve today while doing some research. Sprint is offering a $370 instant savings plus $100 mail-in rebate with a free second phone line. If it was not such a hassle, I was considering cancelling my current phone and paying the $200 early termination fee just to take advantage of the new phone/new plan discounts on a Blackberry Curve. Even with the early termination penalty, it would be a bigger savings than the $75 upgrade discount I currently get by legitimate means. The only kicker, that ultimately stopped me, was the headache in trying to get my existing phone number transferred to the new device.
