I have had the Curve for 3 days now. This is my first BlackBerry and so far I have enjoyed it. I am usually a smaller phone type person, but the Curve is light weight and thin, so I can put up with the extra width. I am not much on texting either, but I like the QWERTY keyboard. This is a very nice phone. If you are thinking of getting one, and you want a QWERTY keyboard, this is the one.

i assure you that tmobile is not being acquired and will have the 8300 with wifi by the end of july. if you havent noticed; tmobile is launching a “hotspots” at home product that will enable users to make free unlimited calling from hotspot locations including your home (if purchasing a $40 router). fret not tmobile people, you have the best products and service in the industry. it may take a little longer but well worth the wait.

I also heard about the T-Moblie aquisition. It is crazy wrong, but eat or get eaten in the phone market I guess. Any thoughts from your sister when this is suppose to happen? I have a T-Mobile plan now, but will be switching to AT&T because it just stinks when these happen and support dries up, yet your stuck in the old plan.

I am not sure if any of you have heard the latest, but TMO is getting bought by AT&T!! My sister works for TMO and that is what they are all saying. She said that in about a year, all things will be switched over to AT&T once the aquisition is completed. She also told me that if I was going to get a phone in the next 6 months, I am sad to say, it should probably be with AT&T (Cingular) since support will be going down the tubes at TMO will begin to thin out support for TMO plans. This stinks….

Cingular got the blackberry curve IN STORE today. 5-31-07. They dont even have displays set up yet, because they got them today and werent expecting them until next week. I just viewed it today and it is awesome BUT…Im not sure I want the phone bad enough to go with Cingular. BTW….T-mobile apparently will have the CURVE in stores next month, which means in about two weeks.

Ok for those of us waiting 4 the curve TMO realease, I heard it won’t b released until August 28th… I hope that is incorrect! BRG would u please shed some light on this!?! I went to a cell phone retailer and he has the cingular curve, and I was sooo tempted to swtich until he explained that the IM service is only blackberry (the deal breaker for me), he sd the TMO is expected to have WiFi and 3rd prty iming along w/ the other features, and he sd TMO has the better blckbrry montly plans! Was he right please shed some light!?! Thanx!

The Curve is now listed on AT&T site! The day is finally here!

Chris — Thu, 31 May 2007 05:24:49 +0000

For the Chris who can’t understand the hype…I say if u cnt understnd it now or even after the extensive cnet review then u’ll never understand it…move on to another blog…

Now for the rest of us BB thirst buckets, I say when the hell is this thing coming to T-mobile!?! I do c on the German T-mobile site tht its expected in June, but what about for the U.S. Does anyone know how long the gap is between the release of German TMo and US tmo…hopefully it won’t be much longer!
Congrats to all u AT&T subscribers (new & old) I’m hating u guys right now- tomorrow is ur day…well hopefully!;)

Can someone explain the whole hype around the blackberry curve. I was looking at the cnet review and they were saying that the 8800 has more functionality then the curve. So why is everybody going crazy for it? Not hating or anything just wondering why?

I spoke to a BlackBerry rep from T-mobile and i asked her if Tmobile will release the BB Curve 8300 and she said “unofficially, yes” Then she added that she is waiting for that one as well…

I cant wait!!! i have the BB 8800 but depending on the price i might exchange for the Curve…

Given Ekoj’s screen name, I have to wonder if he really got his hands on a Curve…

When did AT&T release the 8300 “Curve”?

By: Ekoj

Ekoj — Mon, 28 May 2007 22:45:42 +0000

I’m holding my AT&T 8300 Curve and I took back my 8800 piece of junk. Curve is soooo much better. You will be sorry you bought the 8800 and didn’t wait! I have had my Curve over the weekend and it totally rocks!

I’m holding onto the awesome T-Mobile 8800, guys and dolls. It looks cooler than the Curve/8300, plus has a GPS!

Chris, if you want the Pearl and don’t want/need to bells and whistles (and stress of waiting like the rest of us) for the Curve, get it. Just disable the Suretype by holding down (*) and type away.

Chris, you have made it this far, don’t give up now. Suretype sucks, especially if your emails pertain to anything technical-medical engineering, etc. it doesn’t recognize many of the commonly used terms or abbreviations.

By: Chris

Chris — Fri, 25 May 2007 20:22:00 +0000

Thanks Hookie and Boomer, I’ll try to hang in there…so close but yet so far! And seriously ejoki where is ur cingular store located….don’t play games, This is a serious matter

By: EBrown

EBrown — Fri, 25 May 2007 20:14:47 +0000

Ekoj, seriously your kidding right? What store and where if you are not.

ekoj I would like to see the proof

Chris…..Suretype sucks. I have it on my 7130c and I disabled it.

Ekoj — Fri, 25 May 2007 19:50:03 +0000

I went to the Cingular/At&t store over lunch today and they had the Curve!! I quickly snatched it up. They only had a few left. Very awesome. Let the games begin.

Boomer — Fri, 25 May 2007 16:53:05 +0000

It’s not as horrible as people say, but I think I would still wait for the curve. It will only be a few more weeks and our itch will be scratched.

By: Chris

Chris — Fri, 25 May 2007 16:39:43 +0000

Hey guys I think I’m getting weak! This push back is ridiculous! My rationale was the sooner it comes out on cingular the sooner it’ll b released on TMO….I considering just saying f the whole curve idea and getting the Pearl! >( but that suretype makes me uneasy! Can anyone tell me if suretype is really as much of a pain as it seems? Thanx…any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I think the only one that knows for sure is RIM, they pull the strings. The business rep we use said sometime between June 1st and 15th. With a big “Maybe”. My two cents.
I too would like the 8300 before I’m told old to use it.

By: Boomer

Boomer — Fri, 25 May 2007 15:05:47 +0000

It is meant as a light hearted joke. Settle… I am just another anxious person waiting to open my Xmas gift like the rest of you guys.

Boomer – you are an Ass and shouldn’t be allowed on this site. Give him a break – where would we be without the BG?

The Boy Genius is a fraud! It is Friday…and NO Curve in site. I hate it when people start bad rumors! He must work for the Enquirer.
