Verizone Blackberry Strom to Recreate iPhone’s Hysteria!

Verizon launched on the weekend its much anticipated bundle offer with Research in Motion’s (RIM) BlackBerry Storm to take on the might of AT&T and iPhone 3G.

If you remember the launch of Apple’s iPhone 3G (how can you ever forget that mass hysteria!), Verizon witnessed comparatively lower numbers but still the hundreds outnumbered the units available on offer on day one. Verizon has priced the Storm at the same price as that offered by AT&T for iPhone 3G i.e. at $ 199 for a two year contract.

Verizon said that it ran out of stock in most of the places and is now taking orders from subscribers guaranting them a quick shipment as soon as possible; reportedly within 5-6 days at some places.

A store at Manhattan also reported agitation for not being able to supply mobile to people who queued up for hours.

Though it is too early to say anything bout Blackberry Storm in USA, still, even a smoke can lead us to fire we hope.

Who doesn’t want an alternative to iPhone’s popularity which has risen way beyond its limited capabilities?
