Quick post here to make a request for contact inside Verizon Wireless. The reasons are simple.

Yesterday, they along with Blackberry manufacturer Research in Motion (RIM) bombed the much-hyped Blackberry Storm launch. Speculations by Boy Genius Report seem legitimate – that Verizon implemented a downgrade on the phone operating system just before rollout causing a significant shortage in supplies. This is a failed launch and there is no legitimate excuse, I’m sorry.

Realistically, I should have received a pre-release Blackberry, but I did not. The reason is two fold. One, I do almost $200 a month in business with Verizon and was quite clear that I have thought about moving to the iPhone on the rival AT&T network.

Secondly, though this blog is certainly not a mobile or mobile-focused blog, it certainly carries plenty of weight in the technology community. At minimum, 50% of the Technorati Top 100 bloggers read Technosailor.com. At minimum. Confirmed. All that Jazz.

I cannot wait for a December 15 back order date, quite literally. I currently am at the end of my 2 year contract with the Blackberry 8830 and am on my 5th replacement unit of that phone. And that phone… is also dying.

So I need your help. I need you to put me in contact with the social media public relations people inside of Verizon Wireless. I need to get a call or an email ASAP – information can be seen by clicking on my name in the byline of this post. I need Verizon Wireless to get me a unit because, let’s be honest, they are available for corporate sales or internal priority designation.

Quite simply, I need to get one or I’ll be heading over to AT&T and purchasing an iPhone. Really.
