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!!

Does anyone have any idea when–or if–Alltel will get a Curve? Thanks!

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

@ 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.

Will AT&T have this? Also, does this phone have video?

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 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.

omtm_2001 – get an SD card. that will solve your memory leak problem.

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??

I spoke with Verizon Cust Service and was told that Blackberry CURVE is coming 2nd quarter of 2008 to verizon, which means April/May/June!!! I am excited. I have had a Pearl for 2 weeks and not real thrilled about the memory problem (leaking and erasing the call log and messages). It has done it twice in a two week period…but now I am thinking about returning it and waiting for the CURVE!!!

Jay Hova, you’re not going to see a Nextel product from anyone but motorola probably ever again. Sprint is letting iDen go eventually and as a result pretty much everyone has all ready dropped their support for the network. Makes no sense in making new products for a dying system.

Also, not sure if anyone noticed, but the edges of the send and end button are more angled than that of all the other Curve models. Much like the Pearl 2 for Verizon/Sprint had a slightly more angular keyboard, I’m wondering if this small change is indicative of essentially being a Curve 2 and not your standard Curve. Although, I couldn’t see what else they’d add to a Curve aside from maybe an external memory card slot and video camera, but the next version of BIS will be handling the video camera part.

If sprint is going to let the iDEN network self-destruct…i don’t see why they would keep releasing new phones for that part of the service…

why doesn’t everyone on Nextel just move over to the CDMA side or elsewhere?

Finally, I was gonna switch to T-Mobile to get the long rumored 9000 series BUT now that I see this there is hope. I guess Sprint has me for a little bit longer. The only thing is I wish there was more specs, but either way can’t complain.

You are looking at the verizon model of the curve. up to 32 gigs of flash memory(once the sticks become available)some small thinsg changed form the GSM model(obviously Wifi, but only the truely monolithically stupid think wifi on cellphones is a good idea. the sprint one is black as usual. otherwise it is basically the same as the GSm curve. I could see verizon wanting the new BB os on it prior to launch and maybe delay it based on that, but otherwise it should be ready to rock and roll in mid to late march.

and to all the haters complaining abotu what verizon locks you out of…exactly WHAT are they locking you out of on a BB curve?

the GPS?
ok, so they charge for GPS usage, sprint does not. now go look at what company is hemmoraging customers and losing money hand over fist…and see what company is making reports in the Billions. yes that is one small part, but I would trust verizon’s business descisions over sprints 8 days a week.

Both of the major CDMA providers (Sprint + VZW) use mapping software. Even though VZW likes to lock there’s down and force you to get there $10 a month service, Sprint likes to leave there GPS functionality open and give you a nav service when you get a BB power pack plan. That said, I don’t think they would remove GPS from their phones if they have them ready to be used with a service. Free or not.
