BlackBerry Storm (RIM) and Vodafone fail to deliver

You waited all that time for Research in Motions BlackBerry Storm on Vodafone and then the great big launch finally came in London this weekend, and you rushed to the shops to find no BlackBerry Storm, did this happen to you?

Thousands of BlackBerry fans who went to the smaller Vodafone stores were stuck with the choice of the BlackBerry Bold, Pearl or the BlackBerry Curve.

Vodafone have said although there were problems with stock they were receiving the Storm through the weekend, and it was a logistic problem that caused the smaller stores to not receive the BlackBerry Storm in time.

There were 70,000 BlackBerry Storms pre-ordered, and Vodafone retail staff has said there was an overwhelming response to the new touchscreen from BlackBerry.

However Phones 4you retail shops said that that they were only sent two BlackBerry Storm handsets in most of their stores, it seems that Research in Motion (RIM) should start working a little faster on getting the Storm out if it wants to beat iPhone sales.
