There is an unvalidated rumor that Verizon will be discontinuing the BlackBerry Storm. The rumor stems from the fact that RIM’s stock slipped 2% because investors and analysts got a report indicating orders for the BlackBerry Storm were cut or canceled. There is no word on who put the report out, but it sure made investors nervous.

For all we know there is just some delay in Storm production, or Verizon is making room for a new BlackBerry device.
