Boy Genius is reporting today that the BlackBerry Storm as been placed into TA (Technical Acceptance) at Verizon, with a three to four week delay.

Release data?

BGR is guessing mid-November, and it is stated the rumor was double-confirmed.

Oh boy, I guess that means two different leakers both stated the same info. Of course, probably all talking with each other.

Nevertheless, here’s what BGR had to say…

“Here’s our latest info on the BlackBerry Storm and the fate of the device on Verizon’s network: it just went into technical acceptance at Verizon which usually takes around 3-4 weeks, and the device has been delayed internally by around 3-4 weeks while they work out the kinks (read: buggy and unresponsive) and polish it up. That puts us around a mid-November launch on Verizon. We’ve double confirmed that information, so it should be pretty accurate. Additionally, we heard from someone else that they’ve increased the marketing budget for the BlackBerry Storm just to give AT&T a little kick in the nuts for delaying the Bold so much. That’s not confirmed, still probably a little true, plus we got a chuckle out of that anyway.”
