BlackBerry Storm dummy phones showing up at Verizon

Verizon (NYSE: VZ)’s been teasing us with their BlackBerry Storm page and leaked videos for a few weeks now, but the only hints of a release date have pointed to mid-November. If you were hoping for something a little earlier, apparently some Verzion reps are getting dummy versions of the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Storm. Not that we haven’t seen it before or anything, but proper store presence would lead us to believe that the touchscreen BlackBerry will meet the iPhone head-on in the very near future.
