Verizon's BlackBerry Storm Private Pre-Sale Has No Storms

Kit Eaton — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 07:26:26 EST

Oops. You know that pre-sale flyer that was doing the rounds to Verizon "VIPs", the one with the BlackBerry Storm on the left hand side? Turns out that if you, a VIP, turn up at a store with that very flyer you'll not be able to buy a Storm ahead of its launch. You won't, in fact, be able to touch one to see what it's like. You won't be able to see one. There are none, apparently. All you're able to do is get yourself put on a list for a call from Verizon on Friday so you can pre-order the phone. Okay, the flyer didn't make definite promises...but it's pretty much 100% misleading for Storm fans. Guess everyone has to wait for the real date. [BGR]

Invite to Launch of Motorola iPhone-Battler on May 15th

Brian Lam — Thu, 10 May 2007 15:51:52 EDT

See that on the left of Derek? That's an invite to the NY event, May 15th, 10 a.m., where Motorola saves its ass by unveiling something radically new by way of an iPhone-battling video focused device.

The moneymaking RAZR line has lost its soul. With these countless variants, the last being a yawn-inducing purple model, the once-coveted handsets have turned into the Zoolander of Phones: high on style, but packed with old software.

So, its possible this event could be the unveil of their Blue Steel.

I pretty much skipped their booth at CTIA, while Sony Ericsson, Samsung and Nokia brought new devices to light. But I haven't given up hope for the phone company and Ed ~~Zoolander~~ Zander.

We'll have all the details on May 15th. Good luck, Moto. – Brian Lam
