For Blackberry Fanatics out there this might be a sad day: the first Blackberry Touch Screen phone, dubbed the Blackberry Storm, will not be offered by any of the local wireless carriers. A moment of silence please…

In the United States this innovative phone will be available through Verizon Wireless, the largest wireless network in the states, but since locally there isn’t a Verizon carrier the option was open to Claro, the Latin American carrier who bought Verizon’s stores and network in the island. After speaking with Ileana Molina, Claro’s press spokesperson, we are again sad to announce that her response when asked about the phone was:  “The Blackberry Storm is not in Claro immediate list of launches of new phones.”

So Crackberry Addicts once again Puerto Rico has to wait on the sidelines for the latest technology to swim over from the states. Let’s just hope this phone doesn’t take its cue from its touchscreen counterpart, the iPhone, and make us wait for a year and half before it gets here.
