RIM tends to get their devices out to enterprise customers a little early, and that time has arrived for the Verizon BlackBerry Storm. A private sale of the new touchscreen smartphone will be happening November 17th. – 21st. for select invited partners. Our old info was pointing to a public November 16th., release, but this invitation would push that back to at very least the 21st., if not later. Too bad, especially considering Vodafone will be getting the BlackBerry Storm at the end of this week, but one way or the other, everything will be ready in time for the new year. The $219.99 price point has recently come to light, but of course all of that is subject to change until the official launch.
