If I already have a voice plan and want to get the Storm, do I get a special price for the Storm by adding a data package? Or is it Full price and data package?

Maybe there's a light at the end of the crappy OS tunnel?

Crackberry didn't debunk anything. BGR posted their own follow up.

Crackberry just posted what was already posted on BGR (As usual )

I was watching some video reviews of the Storm, and this question has come up..

I noticed in a review that the dude said the phone was locked to verizon CDMA, and is GSM.. but also 'locked' to verizon for the int. roaming. So when it comes to bell, I obviously know it will be locked to Bell CDMA, but will the GSM portion of the phone be unlocked? I'm questioning this as I have a prepaid sim which I am going to use for international calling.. but if the phone is 'locked' to bell gsm int. roaming.. im screwed.

Any thoughts of what it will be?

If history repeats itself, the GSM portion will be fully unlocked.

Pricing?



This is before the data discounts. And Baka gives an extra $20 off on the terms, so I guess we can at least see what the retail price is going to be.

anyone else think this is really expensive?
I was hoping to pay $500 on a 2 year (they told me I only get $100 HUP)

Do I get any kind of deal if I take the $30 data plan?

Well, if Data discount is $200, then that's a not-bad $250.
