Verizon cuts the BlackBerry Storm down to $50

<a href=”http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/blackberry-storm-cg.jpg”><img class=”aligncenter size-full wp-image-109592″ title=”blackberry-storm-cg” src=”http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/blackberry-storm-cg.jpg&#8221; alt=”blackberry-storm-cg” width=”559″ height=”327″ /></a> The BlackBerry Storm may finally have found its pricing sweet spot. The phone definitely was overpriced at $200 last year and even the $100 price cut a few months ago didn’t seem right, but <a href=”http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=4286″>$50</a&gt;?!? Yeah, I wanna throw mine into a wall and piss on the remains daily, but VZW isn’t going to have any trouble at all clearing out the inventory. You know why it’s only $50 right? Because the BlackBerry Storm 2 is coming out real soon. We’re still hearing sometime in November 2009, but it could be sooner. Verizon probably wants to make sure that they don’t have any of the original phones left when the new hotness launches.
