After waiting through the painful anticipation of the debut of the Blackberry Storm, suffering the bitter disappointment of inadequate stock, and enduring the disheartening reviews of the lucky few to get a Storm on Day One, I finally gave up on waiting for restocks at the stores and ordered my very own phone. The woman I spoke to at Verizon, Candy, was so very helpful I hope I always get her whenever I have to call a tech line. She worked with me to get the phone at the new-every-two price on the primary line using one of the other two lines on my service.

That's quite a savings.

She said it wouldn't ship until Dec. 22, but I've already received my ship notification and should receive the Storm a full day earlier than expected.

Hooray!

Merry Christmas to me!
