Verizon BlackBerry Storm goes down 100 bucks
by The PocketBerry Team
The BlackBerry Storm 9530 has been $199.99 since its release late last year. We saw buy one get one free offers from Verizon where you could literally purchase any BlackBerry including the Storm and get a second one free (with a plan that is). There’s a new Berry in town going by the name BlackBerry Tour 9630 who is pretty much the top notch BlackBerry Verizon has to offer at the moment. Being $199.99, Verizon has decided to bring the Storm price down 100 bucks, given that the Tour and Storm are nowhere near a similar comparison in specs. So go ahead and grab your BlackBerry Storm today as it went down in price by 50%.
