Best Buy Taking Pre-Orders for Blackberry Storm

By Scott Nichols, PCWorld Nov 6, 2008 7:43 AM

You don't have to wait for an official release date or price to reserve your BlackBerry Storm. Best Buy is now accepting pre-orders for BlackBerry's potential iPhone killer, according The Boy Genius Report. For just a $50 refundable deposit, you can guarantee that a shiny new Blackberry Storm will be waiting for you...on some non-specific date in November.

Best Buy expects that the Storm will cost somewhere between $199 and $299 range with a two-year activation. If you do pre-order your phone, you'll need to have that fee (minus your $50 deposit, of course) ready whenever the Storm is released. While this news doesn't give us any specifics for when the Storm is coming, it's a good sign that at least it's coming soon.
