Verizon BlackBerry Storm pushed to Dec. 8th

Verizon’s website is showing an online order shipment date by December 8th for the BlackBerry Storm. Before it used to be December 15th so this is all good news. The listing on the site still shows the Storm as having limited availability. For those who though they won’t be getting their smartphones before the 15th it seems it will ship one week earlier. Lets hope avaliabity is something they can keep up too.

Keep an eye on the OS download when you get your phone. Hopefully we will see an update somewhere is the next 2 or 3 weeks.
