Blackberry Storm now on pre-order from Best Buy

Best Buy has announced that they are now taking pre-orders for the much awaited Blackberry Storm mobile device.

RIM is scheduled to launch Blackberry Storm in the US market in the coming months. Interested customers can now place their order with Best Buy.

There is no confirmed launch date for the Storm. But this could be a hint that it is arriving soon in the US market.

Market analysts believe that RIM would price it between USD 200 and USD 300 to keep it around the price of the Apple iPhone 3G.

It is likely to come bundled with a 2 year contract.

An unlocked version could be sold for as high as USD 500 in the market.
