The very delayed battle of iPhone 3G and BlackBerry Thunder is to be delayed more till mid-November. Apparently the Thunder is waiting ‘technical acceptance’ (TA) from Verizon.

Said that the whole process will take a cool 3-4 weeks, that brings us to mid-November. This is bad news for BlackBerry Thunder fans. BlackBerry also has signed a treaty to called the device as BlackBerry Storm 9530 . Therefore from now on it is an offense to call Blackberry Storm 9530 as BlackBerry Thunder.

Verizon is at its best fixing the reported sluggish UI and other bugs that make the phone very slow, buggy and unresponsive. Well, RIM faithfuls still have to bear for 3-4 weeks to taste the feel of using an iPhone 3G like touchscreen.  We always thought BlackBerry fans cannot live without the physical keyboard, at least that was not true.
