BlackBerry Storm Thunders Its Way to Verizon on October 8?

July 29, 2008 @ 6:01am by Michael Kwan

This is one big juicy rumor, so it necessarily needs to be accompanied with an appropriately large dose of apprehension. Even so, there are reports that the BlackBerry Storm (formerly known as the BlackBerry Thunder) will be launching with Verizon Wireless on October 8.

I realize that date is still more than two months past the horizon, but it’s good to get a better sense of an official launch date for Research in Motion’s supposed iPhone killer. At the same time, this report comes courtesy of Fudzilla, a rather unsubstantiated source of RIM’s internal affairs.

In any case, Fud’s mole is saying that the Thunder (Storm) will get a 3.2 megapixel camera, microSD expansion, and OTA MP3 downloads via Rhapsody. Seeing how Verizon (reportedly) passed up on the iPhone deal with Apple, let’s hope that the Thunder really is their ace in the hole.

    The Wowee One is a small portable bass speaker (subwoofer) measuring 4.7 x 2.4 x 1-inches. It’s capable of sending out 90db of sound between the 40Hz – 20KHz range, and creating a dynamic subwoofer out of nearly any flat surface imaginable. It has an internal battery with an estimated 20 hours of playtime per charge.

    Boogie Board LCD tablet review
    Posted 8 days ago.

    The Etch A Sketch was a small box-like toy filled with aluminum powder that could be scraped off the inside surface of the glass to create a dark line on its light gray screen. Two knobs would allow you to move vertically and horizontally across the screen to create either a mess of lines, or a fantastic image. When you were done, just give it an upside down shake, and you can start allover again.

    HTC Legend review
    Posted 12 days ago.

    If you’re thinking that the overall form factor looks familiar, well, you’re right. The HTC Legend functions as a spiritual successor to the HTC Hero, throwing the “chin” back in the game. The Legend also comes with a bunch of other improvements too, including operating off the newer HSPA network.
