BlackBerry Storm Announced in the Netherlands
By Simon Sage on Tuesday, November 25th, 2008 at 8:11 AM PST In Announcements, BlackBerry, Hottest Hardware, Vodafone
Vodafone is continuing its European sweep of the touchscreen BlackBerry Storm, now available in the Netherlands for free on a two-year contract. Features include a 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS, 3G, 3.5 mm headphone jack, 1 GB of on-board memory plus microSD slot, and a rather innovative 3.2″ 480 x 360 clicking touchscreen. Plans start at 42.50 Euros and go to 77.50 Euros per month and all include free internet and e-mail access.
An exclusive deal with Vodafone was a smart idea for RIM, since Voda can really provide the international reach that the Storm needs in order to properly compete with the iPhone – ibn fact, I’m really interested in seeing how the 9500 fares in emerging markets like India. Initial reviews have been sketchy, but there’s still plenty of buzz around the device and a lot of hope for it after a few more coats of polish.
If you happen to be in the Dutch neighbourhood, you can nab the Vodafone BlackBerry 9500 over here.

Can anyone tell me if the know of a place that can sell the storm to me cash price in the Netherlands? I have a colleague coming over to the Netherlands and she wants the storm as her old blackberry just broke.
Any one able to help??
