New Pics of BlackBerry Curve 8330 for Sprint; Memory Upgrade?
Odd, this one. A post went up earlier on pinstack depicting a BlackBerry 8330, clearly on Sprint, with some interesting memory specs. Here’s the text from the post:
8330 Getting Much Needed Internal Memory Upgrade?
See below. Keep in mind, this screen is after the restore of information (approx 5,000 emails, 4000 contacts, 1000 calendar events) and the installation of 4 applications.
43+ MB free, 80 MB total. That’s a whole lot of free memory there. A couple more pics after the jump
[Thanks Anonymous Tipster]
Running programs from the memory card that is, and the DO run fine. I never had a problem installing 3rd party programs to the memory card. Maybe RIM will allow this on the Blackberrys some day so we can save the built in memory for the OS
This will not be Rev A it is only going to be EVDO 1x blackberry is not planning on launching a rev A phone until they launch the new curve for nextel..
The release date is april 20
@ Tritan
Titanium. Expect a “red one” approx 2 months after launch.
As far as pouch vs holster, not 100% sure as keep in mind, this is an EVAL unit and not in “official” sprint packaging, but knowing RIM, it will come with a stupid pouch that everyone hates.
For all you non-believers about my accurracy…Here you go bitches…

@ theoutsider
First of all… Thanks for all of the GREAT information throughout this post!
Second, I see that it says “4/16 @ BP” I’m assuming that they’re not talking about British Petroleum/Arco gas stations.
Should I just assume that the Curve will be available in my area (Phx) on the 20th?
I’ve been waiting for this phone for about 2 years! I’m long since sick of my 7100i and the constant comment, “Wow, that’s like a brickberry. How old is that thing?”
Again, thanks for all of the great info!
This new BB combined with Sprint’s new $99 unlimited plan with all premium services included (e.g. TV, telenav, etc.) will be a hot combination…
I have one of the devices. No wifi and the release date is 4/20.
It will come with Wi-Fi…..
wat are the last two blackberries

The flash card won’t do you any good. It is only good for storing ringtones, photos, video and music. You cannot load apps, save messages or attachments nor can you load any other data there. DataViz Documents to Go may change that but it is not out yet and requires and update to your BES and BB software.

Actually, Verizon just announced today that the 8830 will be available in May. Damn, I just bought my 8830 60 days ago.
The 8330 came out in Canada today for Bell and Telus.. I got one today.. it’s great!
I just bought the Blackberry Curve 8330 from spint a few weeks ago. It took me a long time to decide on this device but I love it. The only drawback (which I didn’t realize until after) is that the Sprint version does not have MMS capability. I cannot send picture mail to my contacts. Yes, you can send pictures via email, but not directly to your contacts. Now isn’t this one of the most basic features of your average cell phone?!? I pay all of this money for the BB (which I love) and the service, and no MMS?!? RIDICULOUS Sprint!!! Get on the ball and develop software because the lack of that feature is a major inconvience!!!
I just recently purchased the new 8330 from sprint and cant wait to get it. It does not have the wifi feature but the crappy 8530i thats on nextel’s sloowww network does. I did not know about the added memory unitl I read this about on this site and that makes me more excited to get it…
Got the phone. Had the Sprint Instinct. Love the rollerball. However, anyone having problems with the quality of the sprint tv? Came in clear with a few sluggish points on the Instinct but comes in slow, sluggish, and very pixelated such that it is not worth watching. May go back to Instinct.
I want to know what is next for the blackberry curve 8330?
