Man, I thought Friday was slow for BlackBerry news. Though the iPhone’s come rumbling in at the 700,000 mark by the end of the weekend, Verizon’s made sure to have something to brag about, too. Not only have they completed transitioning their EVDO network to rev. A, they’ve also busted out some tantalizing unlimited plans (although we all know what “unlimited” means). With a network like that, we can see why Apple went to Verizon first - it’s hard to imagine getting better use out of an unlimited text, picture, video and instant messaging plan at 3 Mbit/s than on an iPhone, an experience which Europeans may be enjoying sooner than later. In any case, those brave souls who weathered the storm and stuck with Verizon will have some good service to chew on for awhile.

tron: Anyone want a free copy of PeekaWho for BlackBerry? Go here: http://tinyurl.com/5sa9cj
tron: @bbunderground Telus will do it on a three year, though... Sigh. Probably no 8GB MicroSD card either.
tron: @CoffeeDaze @ASacco I agree, although cheaper than the iPhone would have brought more hype. What is Krackow smoking though?
tron: should Verizon give away the BlackBerry Storm? I kinda thing $199 is a pretty good deal... http://tinyurl.com/6dwjyc
tron: @CoffeeDaze akk! Water wouldn't have been that bad, but a BB can't handle puke and mudd.
tron: @CoffeeDaze what did you do to it? It might be reparable...
