Previous rumours had pointed to an October release for RIM’s first touchscreen BlackBerry, but the info from Verinzon is pointing a little bit later. November 1st. is the date when customers will supposedly be eligible for trading in their old devices, and presumably the date when the Storm will be available, according to the latest leak. It sounds like the BlackBery 8900 Javelin will be out around the same time as the Storm, making for an interesting choice for shoppers, but one way or the other, it’s looking like RIM will have a hoppin’ holiday season. Can’t wait? Sign up for notification when the BlackBerry 9530 is ready to roll, or check out their marketing video to see it in action.
