I'd bet on $199.  Not bad (they're apparently throwing in an 8GB microSD card, so it will be going head-to-head with the 8GB iPhone at that price) but not earth-shatteringly cheap, either (this is Verizon we're talking about).<br><br>So, in short:  The BlackBerry Storm is Verizon's iPhone killer, and they feel confident that it's a comparable product and thus they don't need to compete on price (unlike Sprint with their $129 Instinct).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mog]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2008 5:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon promo hints at possible BlackBerry Storm pricing]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</guid><description><![CDATA[The 8GB card is preinstalled on all BB Storms.

And they're saying that they're giving away the 9500 which is the one that already came out for Vodafone.

That would just be plain old stupid...  and say what you will, I highly doubt that Verizon would be that stupid.  The Storm is designed to compete not only with other Blackberry's, but also with devices like the iPhone and the G1 - a broad customer spectrum device.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tra la la]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2008 4:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon promo hints at possible BlackBerry Storm pricing]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</guid><description><![CDATA[The Storm plays music, but does anyone know if music purchased via iTunes will be transferable?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eric]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 9th 2008 10:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon promo hints at possible BlackBerry Storm pricing]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</guid><description><![CDATA[Last I heard, blackberrys could sync with itunes on a windows box, not sure of mac, but the bold, curve and pearl can, so id assume only naturally that this will as well. blackberry has a download for it on there site]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[blksprk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 10th 2008 9:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon promo hints at possible BlackBerry Storm pricing]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</guid><description><![CDATA[Do you guys know if the Storm will have the ability to download apps, like the iPhone?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RKD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 11th 2008 1:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon promo hints at possible BlackBerry Storm pricing]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</guid><description><![CDATA[when is the Storm officially supposed to come out?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RKD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 11th 2008 1:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Verizon promo hints at possible BlackBerry Storm pricing]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/11/06/verizon-promo-hints-at-possible-blackberry-storm-pricing/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just got my official email from Verizon...
