It’s all Storm, all the time at the BBGeekcast. We’ve got news on the launch, the low supply, the OS issues, and the timetable for the online orders to ship. Plus, there’s news on the Curve 8900. Hint: you can order it today if you’re in Canada.

So click on over here to hear the BBGeekcast (10 min, 15 sec)

So there have been some delays with the Storm. First they didn’t have enough on launch day. Then they had to delay online orders. We also know that third party retailers won’t be getting them anytime soon. The device got ripped in a review or two, which is a shame. The device has plenty of potential. Hopefully future OS upgrades will give it a boost.

The Curve 8900 is ready to go on Rogers. They’re already fulfilling orders, so you can try to nab one today. Boy Genius Report also found Curve 8900 accessories on the U.S. BlackBerry Store site, so that could be a sign that it’s coming soon. I wouldn’t bank on it before the holidays, though.

And finally, Fido is aiming to get Berrys for the holidays, namely the Pearl 8120. A shame it won’t get the 8220s until after the holidays. Clearly they’d sell a bit better.
