First pics of CDMA BlackBerry Curve
You asked for ‘em, so here you go! Thanks to BBGeeks.com, we’ve got our hands on some of the first shots of what clearly appears to be the CDMA version of the BlackBerry Curve. This BlackBerry Curve 8330 looks pretty similar to the current GSM version of the handset, with a keyboard that looks identical to that of the Red 8310 currently available on AT&T. This should dispel any fear that the CDMA Curve would depart from the GSM version’s wildly successful form factor. We’re not able to tell much else from the shots, but we can confirm that this handset will include a GPS radio. No word on availability, but chances are good that we won’t see an announcement until sometime next month. Hit the jump for some more shots.
I wonder if its going to have Rev. A for full speed internet… THAT BE THE QUESTION NOW! Sprint will bully their way in with SUCH a wonderful phone if they marry it to the amazing EVDO … who would be able to compete??
omtm_2001 – get an SD card. that will solve your memory leak problem.
I asked my local Verizon rep about this. He said that he is on one of Verizon’s data teams, and he has seen tow version of the phone – one with GSm/”World Edition” and one without. He said that word was that VZW was really embracing the world phone idea, so he expected the final version to be the former. No WiFi, according to him. And he said it is expected to drop Q2 of this year! Take it for what it is worth – I am just some “dude” repeating what another “dude” told me – but this guy has always been right on for me before.
I have heard that this is supposed to be picked up by sprint in April, they are pushing for late may. But also heard that it will re-release in Q3 with QCHAT! CDMA Nextel Direct Connect!!!!!
I meant Late March! Sorry
Will AT&T have this? Also, does this phone have video?
@ Kaycee…
Um, AT&T has had this phone since last year. A simple google search could have answered that question for you.
The phone plays video but does not record video.
OMG! I am kinda pissed I bought the pearl (but I still love you… To my phone) so the sprint curve will be GPS,have a camera and video camera, be direct connect enabled and have mms? That all sounds too good to be true
Does anyone have any idea when–or if–Alltel will get a Curve? Thanks!
i wanted to know if anyone knows if the sprint version of the 8330 will have mms or do you think they will disable that feature like they have with all other blackberries. i have the pearl and it sucks not to send pics via mms. i have to always email and sometimes that don’t even work!!
Looks like a May 1st release date for VZW.
