BoyGenius is reporting that at least a birdie or two dropped by with a bit of bad news for those anxious for the BlackBerry Thunder Storm: it’s facing delays.

If what they’re hearing is right, “Technical Acceptance” testing and adjustments at Verizon HQ may set the Storm back 3-4 weeks to a mid-November window. As BlackBerry’s first touchscreen, the Storm is going to be harshly scrutinized and nit-picked – it’s not too difficult to imagine that the folks at Verizon are willing to push it back a fortnight or two for the sake of polishing it up.
