V CAST Video comes to Verizon's BlackBerry Storm

If you want to watch live hockey games played by NHL teams not owned by RIM's Jim Balsillie -- that would be all of them, by the way -- you need look no further than the warm glow of your Storm's display now that Verizon has brought its V CAST Video service to the device. Starting today, users will be able to download a dedicated VCAST Video application to their Storms, bringing a host of feature-length and live programming that makes us thank our lucky stars for high-limit data plans. Sure, it'll set you back $10 a month and kill productivity -- but isn't wasting money and time what life is really all about?

It doesn't cost $10 a month...that's for regular dumbphones with VCast. It's included in the excrutiatingly high data costs that BlackBerry users already pay VZW.

And i retract my comment...it DOES cost $10. F-U VZW. Not getting more from me!

5GB a month is not high limit.

Ugh, Verizon may have the best network...but they nickle and dime their customers.

Hey Verizon,

The ship has sailed. There are more and more free mobile video sites every day. Once BB supports flash, you're screwed because then we can get hulu.
