Verizon has announced that it will launch the long awaited BlackBerry 9530 Storm on Friday November 21st for $199 after $50 mail-in rebate and new 2 year agreement.
The device features a 3.0 inch 480×360 HVGA resolution display, tri-mode CDMA 1xEVDO Rev. A, quadband GSM/EDGE, and 2100MHz HSDPA radio with support for international roaming via Vodafone networks around the world, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, 3.5mm headphone jack, 1GB of internal memory with additional expansion possible through a microSDHC expansion slot, media player with iTunes sync capability, GPS transceiver, microUSB port, and a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and video recorder.
As PhoneNews.com reported previously, the device had been delayed due to extensive carrier testing to ensure that the device would meet and exceed expectations, but the delay was shorter than expected, hence the official launch confirmation today.
That doesn’t seem like too much of a delay, this is going to be a hot phone
