BlackBerry 8300 = BlackBerry Curve?
Well, low and behold, in the long wait for more and more information to trickle in about the BlackBerry 8300, it appears that we have a formal name for the device’s release. In spirit of the BlackBerry 8100 having a consumer-friendly alias with the BlackBerry Pearl, the BlackBerry 8300, which is set to merge the business and consumer worlds of BlackBerry, is apparently named the BlackBerry Curve.
www.BlackBerry8300.com, which was recently purchased by RIM from private holdings, now redirects to www.BlackBerryCurve.com, although it’s nothing more than a blank placeholder page. The new website’s domain record reflects that of Register.com, Inc., RIM’s domain registrar of choice. The DNS redirect would not be possible without RIM’s authorization, so I think it’s safe to assume this as the new name. I kind of like it. Now, who thinks that RIM will announce the BlackBerry 8300 or BlackBerry Curve at WES 2007? I sure do.
Thanks, MiBlackBerry!
Damn!!! RIM just keeps releasing more addictive Blackberries. Heck my grandmother even wants this one.
O.K. wasn’t the WES 2007 this past week??? Where the hell’s the Curve???? I need a NEW Blackberry like yesterday!!!!! This is getting very frustrating!!!!
hey guys…i was googling the blackberry curve and this website happened to be first on the list of choices. all your comments have been helpful…i was searching high and low trying to find a way to buy the curve. i bought the blackberry pearl a couple months ago…it’s very frustrating entering any text. i actually was so stressed out texting…that i made a choice and decided not to text until i get a new phone. please keep leaving updates…i’ll keep checking this website so i can find out when is this darn phone coming out. thanks again!!!
what are the chances verizon gets this thing. Verizon choices for blackberrys is a joke.
Verizon will not carry this….it’s just a T-mobile & Cingular carried device….at least when it first comes out….much like the Moto Q, they will release it to others after the first 6 months I’m sure..
It has got good features. Memory can be extended up to how much? & when shall we know the release date in India?
Spoke with manager at AT&t. I ws told it would be released third quarter of 2007. Thats all he knew . He said the latest would be early October. Only Cingular/At&t will be getting it
Does anyone know if it will include a clip? Most pda phones dont include it anymore….. its a needed item.
I will be getting a curve in the morning. I just got a pearl two weeks ago and have some problems with the ringtones, so I am upgrading. When I talked to the store they told me that they had the curves in.
I have to have this blackberry! I’ve been obsessing over it since the rumors started! I can’t wait for sprint to get it so I seriously want to switch over to cingular. Anyone know how to get out of a Sprint contract without paying the penalties? I really don’t want to have to wait until the 1st of January to cancel it…Help!
good news people…the blackberry curve is available ONLINE at cingular.com. i ordered mine yesterday!!! i’ll be getting it in a couple of days!!! i would’ve rather purchased it from the store…but when i called the salesperson said they haven’t received word when they would get it in the store. good luck!
Melissa,
You can get out of your sprint contract by going to http://www.celltradeusa.com
P.S. Does anyone know if Nextel is getting the Blackberry Curve, it does have a PTT on the side.
I used celltradeusa.com last year to get out of my Verizon wireless contract. I used celltrade with success and I plan on using them again starting this week . I want to be ready for the iphone
If anyone is interested in a i930 for Nextel with 7 months left on contract. i1m on a 39.99 FICP with 200 bonuse minutes every month. Check out my new celltradeusa listing

Thanks !!!
does anyone know when the blackberry curve is coming out for sprint? i don’t want to change carriers to at&t cause i like sprint
you guys!!! will the BlackBerry 8300 aka blackberry curve be coming out for verizon? cause that would be great? i really hope this phone comes out for verizon users… it prolly will after 6 months or so
dude are u kidding me verizons choices for the blackberry are good
Any follow-up on this. I’m a sprinter but want the Curve.
i want a curve on sprint as well, but only if it is 3g.
They need to hurry up and get the Blackberry Curve for SPRINT!!!
This waiting is ridiculous?!
I just want to get an info from Sprint whether they are getting Blackberry Curve, otherwise my fallback is Blackberry Pearl II coming to Sprint this Q4.
SPRINT, please get the “CURVE”
Has any one unlocked the Curve from AT&T and used it on Sprints network?
cant be done, different type of networks.. ATT curve can be unlocked and used on Tmobile.
Finally broke down and bought the Curve and I could not be happier! It is an awesome device. This is my third BB and it does not disappoint. I was hoping the phone service would be better on this one than my last and it is remarkable. I don’t even want to use my razor anymore for a phone. I thought it would be difficult to get used to the trackball – after one day, it was a piece of cake. The camera and video are quite remarkable too. Beautiful picture quality. Too much good to say – great job RIM.
Is sprint going to get the blackberry curve, or can you buy the unlocked phone and use it on sprints network?
Damnit!!!! When is Sprint going to get the curve…they are so stupid!!! I can buy a blackberry any day now…but I am waiting on the curve!!!
