There is still no definitive word on when the Verizon BlackBerry Storm2 will actually be released, however, it looks like there will be a Buy One Get One Free Sale going on when it does.
BlackBerry Rocks has gotten their hands on a Verizon flyer featuring the BlackBerry Storm2 and and a BOGO sale offering the lowest BlackBerry prices ever. I’ve been saying for a while now that if Verizon sales the Storm2 cheap enough and RIM gets the hardware and software right this time around, quite a few of these things will move.
Adding a BOGO on top of that definitely doesn’t hurt…
What about the verizon lockdown and cripple factor? Heck, blame for the Storm can’t be all put on RIM’s shoulders, more likely verizon’s firmware change demands to keep it’s users behind the iron gate of the walled garden are to blame. BOGO and cheap prices might move gear, but it also cheapens RIM’s products and that isn’t necessarily a good thing for RIM. RIM shouldn’t have to deal with verizon’s desperation moves to try and compensate for not having the most BB users on the network to say nothing about verizon not having the all important iPhone.

The rock, what does verizon cripple?
Answer monkey’s question Rock. What does Verizon cripple on the Storm?
“Heck, blame for the Storm can’t be all put on RIM’s shoulders, more likely verizon’s firmware change demands to keep it’s users behind the iron gate of the walled garden are to blame.”
Are you frigging kidding me? It’s not like you had any credibility before you made this ridiculous assertion, but, if the BlackBerry Storm sucked as bad as it did because of Verizon, explain to me the GSM version of the Storm had just as many, if not more issues than did the CDMA version.
Big red’s device crippling games, firmware toying, and anti-consumer actions are well documented and have been proven time and time again. Find a reliable web-site and self-educate. A smart consumer is a good consumer. A well educated consumer is not what verizon is looking for, but a well educated consumer is good for the industry and good for the manufactures.
verizon with firmware games has screwed up many a manufactures hardware, not just RIM’s. This is done usually in verizon’s never ending desperate attempt to keep it’s users behind the iron gate of the walled garden…. aka greed.
@ The Rock
Dude, not only are you a troll, you are a farce and you are fake. You throw BS out there just to try and create controversy for controversy’s sake and I doubt that you even believe half the stuff that you post.
“Big red’s device crippling games, firmware toying, and anti-consumer actions are well documented and have been proven time and time again. Find a reliable web-site and self-educate.”
Are you frigging kidding me? Did you get that out of the first chapter of “How to Spread Bullshit and Sound Credible While Doing It”? You made a ridiculous assertion, got checked on it, and now are trying to turn it back around on the person that questioned you because you don’t have an answer.
How many sites have you been banned from now? I would expect a troll of your caliber to be able to come up with something much better than that. I am challenging you Rock. Answer that question that monkey asked you.
What does Verizon cripple on the Storm?
Don’t tell me about what Verizon used to do, or how they fired you, or are anti consumer, or are the wireless carrier of the ill-informed. If you aren’t the fake ass troll the most regular readers here believe you to be, simply back your shit up.
@Anti-Rock………..”fake ass troll”…………”.back your shit up”
there are many disagreements here, especially with The Rock and there is some benign name calling. for me, one of the appealing aspects of this site is comments like yours are seldom posted.
SO DESPERATE, SO off topic, SO worried about what others have to say. SO uneducated. Yet again bluehorseshoe (Anti-Rock) RIMarkable is NOT your personal toilet space to make your desperate comments about others. Grow up. Your name calling, personal attacks, and other games are still not acceptable here at RIMarkable, nor at any of the other sites your lack of control gets you in trouble and banned at.
Your comments again shows there still remains a desperate need for you to educate yourself, your childish fit’s about others posted thoughts based on proven FACTS would then be obvious to you like they are to everyone else. Grow up.
To try to get back on top I have a question because I have a new job and have to get a new BlackBerry. If you get the buy one get one free, do both devices have to be on the same plan, or could my roomate get one on her own plan?
