The BlackBerry Storm is launching soon – hopefully – but the latest intel states that the Storm will thunder into VZW stores on November 24th, 2008 rather than the previously stated 17th. Plus, there will be a mail-in rebate dropping the end price to the ever-so-important $199 price point which should draw numerous iP3G comparison. 

Verizon Stores are anticipating that this phone will be hot and so they will open one hour early on 11/20, 11/24, and 11/25 with the first date reserved for high-end small business users with preorders and demos. Everyone else will have to wait until the later dates to buy their Storms though.
