Are you sick of the BlackBerry Storm yet? If you are, you’re clearly not a Berry lover. If you aren’t, I’m sure you’re lapping up all of the news…that is, if you’re not in line waiting for one right now!

For the Canucks out there (myself included) that are eagerly awaiting the launch of the Storm, I’ve got more news that will make you happy. Looks like Bell is getting ready to prep their dealers in 1-hour hands-on sessions with the device. Notice has gone out to all Bell dealers that training on the BlackBerry Storm will begin December 1st in various major centers across Canada. This type of training is the first hands-on event that has ever been scheduled by Bell. No doubt they want to get the launch of the Storm just right.

Scheduled dates for the hands-on training:

Vancouver: December 9th
Edmonton: December 10th
Calgary: December 11th
Waterloo: December 1st
Mississauga & Scarborough is December 2nd & 4th
Ottawa: December 9th
Montreal: December 4th & 5th
Quebec City:December 11th
Nova Scotia: TBA
Halifax: TBA

Couple this with recent news that Bell & Telus would be receiving the device at the same time, and would make it available closely following the US launch… Keep your eyes peeled for the Storm. Within the first few weeks of December we should have touchscreen BlackBerry goodness in the great white north.
