The BlackBerry Storm notification page set up by Verizon back during the announcement has received a significant overhaul, showing off not only specs and 360°-worth of pictures, but also something of a treasure hunt from November 6th. to the 15th. All entrants have to do is find as many spots scattered around Manhattan (based on a map they’ll be releasing) and text in location codes as quickly as possible. Five winners will get a free BlackBerry Storm, and plenty of runners-up will win Verizon gift cards. The launch date remains rumoured at November 16th., which would conveniently be right after this hunt wraps up.
