BlackBerry Storm Price set at $89.99, Delayed Due to Software Glitch


According to Gizmodo the BlackBerry Storm's original November 14 launch date has been delayed again because of a "software glitch". The good news is the price looks very competitive, and it is going to be in direct competition against the iPhone for business users. The price will be no more than $89.99 for companies with a 2 year contract.

It appears that Research In Motion and Verizon are feeling the heat as the iPhone keeps pushing up in the enterprise.

It will be available for $199.99 with a two year contract. For companies the price will be no greater than $89.99, also with a 2 year contract.

The new release date is November 23. Delayed due to software. We should have final pricing by Friday this week, should have amendment ready by next Wednesday.

The global rate plan and data tethering will probably be rolled into one code. Test devices will be available next week.

Pricing has not been set for consumers though. Looks like an interesting phone to say the least.
