It looks like the Blackberry Storm is a hit. Verizon has not released any definitive sales numbers yet, but analysts cited by Unstrung put preliminary sales in the range of 100,000 to 120,000 units.

"Checks at Verizon retail outlets affirm stores quickly sold out of the BlackBerry Storm after opening Friday morning, given sizable lineups and pent-up demand," RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky said in a note to investors.

Customers from coast to coast complained of long lines to get the first touchscreen BlackBerry. Verizon notes on its website that there is limited availability of the Storm, and that orders made online will ship Dec. 8. It is unclear whether this means there will be limited availability in retail stores ahead of this weekends shopping rush.

Stay tuned, I'm sure we will hear more soon.
