The fine print of the Blackberry Storm NYC Giveaway states the following:

"A BlackBerry® Storm™ 9500 Smartphone and a $50 Verizon Wireless gift card Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”): *$549 each."

So my guess is that if you want to buy the phone with no contract it will cost you $500.
With a contract is would be considerably less than that.

Yup... the current buzz is that it will be around $149 or $99 with a contract. Vodafone in england is giving them away with a contract and vodafone is verizon's European partner. So there is some speculation about them being free...

As long as they are $149 or less, I will sign with Verizon, ditch tmobile and have a new storm to play with! :D

Yup... but Tmobile didn't yet lol... as far as I know Tmo still doesn't have a nation wide 3G network yet... which is why all the good phones are going to Verizon and ATT... so looks like its time for me to switch networks...

Yep. I had all sorts of problems with Cingular. It is hard for me to find a spot where I don't get service with Verizon.

You and me both. I use my Curve for way to many Emails to use a touch screen double tap keyboard. Love the bigger screen though! :tu

I just got the blackberry 9000 bold, with practically unlimited mobile internet.
I love it! Best mobile I've ever had, hands down. It's not cheap in australia, cost me about a grand on top of my current plan with telstra. Ouch!

Very nice. I'm already with Verizon and I love their service! It has never failed me like T-Mobile and AT&T have in the past. I'm going to check these out! :tu

:tpd: Same here...everything I've read about the new BB is that it can't really handle media very well (pics, movies, music). Playback value isn't good.

That is my wish, but unfortunately I need to stay with Verizon for now. Maybe by the time my contract is up ill be able to switch.
