UPDATE : Verizon to offer Storm 1 users upgrade to Storm 2

[Brett Wyman]

A few days ago, we had posted up how it was rumored that Storm 1 users could possibly upgrade to the Storm 2. At the time we could not say this was 100% true, until now! We have gotten information that this will be true. Our source has said :

"...its confirmed that Vzw will start doing early upgrade for Storm 1 customers to the Storm 2 .. They will need to extend their contract over .. Priced at 279.99 with a $100 mail in rebate..sorry I don't have a date as when this promotion will go into play."

So this is great news for the Storm users who were not eligible for an upgrade yet. Yet, at the same time this is also bad news for the members who purchased the Storm 2 at retail price or activated a new line to get the Storm 2 at the $279.00 price. As there is no date for this promotion to go into effect, one could guess it would start when the Buy One Get One deal expires in the upcoming days.
