Yesterday, BGR posted what seemed to be a paper copy of a Best Buy RSS screen showing the release date of the BlackBerry Storm for November 16th. Today we have for you the actual screen shot of the release date and the price screen thanks to the Berry Reporter Minions! There have been few reports on speculated prices for the Storm and I guess you could still call this half confirmed, but this is as hard of evidence as we have so far. The price as you can see is $699.99 which is close Best Buy’s $679.99 pricing of the BlackBerry Bold, which is just $20 more. As I explained on the price screen of the Pearl Flip 8220 the circled part of the image that says Perf Code: E means that they will carry the phone and that it is no a hoax. This $700 price tag is about what I thought the phone would cost. So all you Verizon people that keep asking me the pricing on the Storm, here it is and it is probably not as pretty as you thought. Let’s just hope you are eligible for an upgrade (and who knows what that price will be).
On another note, since the Bold release date got pushed back once again to supposedly Oct. 27th, the Oct 26th Best Buy release date probably won’t happen. Sorry guys.

Again, the price will not be $699.
You think they can compete with the iPhone at that price?

[...] The Blackberry Storm will be out for Verizon on November 16, and a screenshot shows that it will cost $700 at Best Buy. Note that this is the non-subsidized price and the price to people with 2-year contracts will be much less. For comparison purposes, the Blackberry Bold costs $680 at Best Buy, but people who sign a 2-year contract will pay $299: http://www.berryreporter.com/rumors/blackberry-storm-release-and-pricing-for-best-buy [...]
