Verizon’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 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.
