So the latest rumor from the wire is that the BlackBerry Storm 9530 is getting discontinued from Verizon Wireless.  The original Storm 9530 released in late 2008, having a very sloppy release with customer complaints left and right on the operating system.  Overtime, OS updates released, and in my opinion OS 5.0 came too late, when it should of sooner to keep its customers on it.  The main question is, who will be sticking around with the Storm 9530 any more after Verizon stops its production and retail?  I know Chris Brown is holding a Storm, as seen above in the image.

With the BlackBerry Storm ending its life soon supposedly, what do you do? Stay touch screen and go to the Storm 2 9550?  Perhaps you’ll give QWERTY another shot once again and go with the Tour 9630 which isn’t going to be so hot with the 9650 on the way.  Maybe you’ll downgrade yourself for the Curve 8530 and have a more basic device, losing a camera flash, but gaining 3G and WiFi.  Either way, it’s not secret that seeing your Storm 9530 out of production can discourage you a bit in having it, pushing you to upgrade.  What do you do?
