BlackBerry Storm Is Officially $199

There was endless speculation regarding the pricing of the BlackBerry Storm, and the only way to silence the speculation is to release the official price, which is what Verizon has just done. The BlackBerry Storm will be going for $199 with a two-year contract, after a mail-in rebate. With a price like that, it looks like RIM is serious on taking on the iPhone and defending its corporate dominance. It’s good to see that even with the $199 pricepoint, Verizon didn’t skimp on the accessories, as they’ve bundled an 8GB microSD card with the phone. The BlackBerry Storm will be available online and in stores from November 21st.
