My Verizon contract is up on November 23^rd. However, instead of getting a new phone/contract right then, I am going to wait for the new Blackberry Storm to come out. It’s a sleek new phone from Verizon that is touch screen enabled. This is a feature I am most interested in, but I never wanted an iPhone because of the use of the AT&T as my carrier. I would never get a signal where I go. The Blackberry has an opportunity for programing which I might take up to learn. It is Java, so I would be treading into unknown territory.
