BlackBerry Storm Price Drops; Signals BlackBerry Storm 2 Coming Soon

The RIM BlackBerry Storm smartphone is now officially priced under $100 at Verizon Wireless and is competing toe to toe with the iPhone 3G, which is also an equally-priced, older touch screen model available at AT&T. That can only mean one thing. RIM and Verizon Wireless are getting ready to launch the BlackBerry Storm 2 soon!

While I certainly recommed to AT&T customers who have never had an iPhone before that getting the iPhone 3G model at the $99 price point is a good idea if you just can’t manage to spend the extra $100 to get the latest iPhone 3Gs model, I send a strong warning out that if you are considering the BlackBerry Storm current model then you should wait it out till the fall for the newer version. The price will be higher (most like at $199 as well), but it will be well worth it since the bugs will have been worked out (hopefully) and improvements in touch screen technology as well as WiFi are welcome additions.
