Release for the Storm is early/mid November. Rumor of price is $199 with contract. FYI, debuting with this phone is RIM’s own App Store similar to the Apple App Store. I can’t wait to try it out. I want to see how easy it is to type with the tactile keyboard. ---

Na just the current line up to meet the other markets people who hate Apple and dont like the iPhone. The Gphone that is out right now kept the slide out keyboard and I assume it will stay in the future. Some people refuse to change. BB just needed a shot at the iPhone for “sexiness” 😛 ---
