bb storm 1 2 300x231 Will Verizon Allow Storm 1 Users to Upgrade Early to the Storm 2?It looks like Verizon Wireless has another trick up its sleeves.  By now you should know about the buy-one-get-one-free deal they are offering for the BlackBerry Storm 2.  While it’s a great deal it looks like they will end it fairly soon.  According to rumors over at BBOS that is when Verizon will begin to offer early upgrade discounts to Storm 1 users.

A reliable source has confirmed that these rumors are true and Verizon will allow Storm 1 users to extend their contracts over.  They will be able to purchase the Storm 2 for $279.99 with a $100 mail in rebate.  The big question is, does this go for all Storm 1 owners even if they just bought the device?  There is no mention of a cut off date so this might be the case.  Either way it seems like Verizon is doing everything they can to allow everyone to enjoy the new Storm 2.

****Update:  It looks like the rumors are legit and this will happen on November 22nd.  Thanks Mike!

    Yes!!! I’m so glad this is true. I really wanted the upgrade, but the $500+ price tag was not appealing in the least. Thanks so much for the info!!

    I guess your all new to the RIM/VzW rumors forums or you would have known not to believe any post that includes “heard from a verizon rep” in it. I hope you all enjoyed the ride.
