Blackberry Storm 2 9550 Emulator in Verizon System

If you thought the Storm 2 wasn't ever going to get here anytime soon, well you're in luck. The Blackberry Storm 2 9550 emulator has arrived for Verizon employee training and customer service. It really would suggest that the release is likely for October 25th! We can't wait, but why hasn't it been advertised?
