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 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…

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!!!

Actually, Verizon just announced today that the 8830 will be available in May. Damn, I just bought my 8830 60 days ago.

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.

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…

@ 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!

@ 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.

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

You can from the Windows Mobile side, I wish RIM would allow this.

@ A Friendly Canadian:
April 11th for Bell.
April 15th for Telus.

Not 100% at this point, but it is starting to look like they’re the right days.

@ Outsider what colors? Will it come with a pouch or clip?

By: tritan

tritan — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:30:11 +0000

@ Edwin P I hope your right as alot of the sites are still saying June.Phonearena ususally is correct on this stuff. I wonder if maybe another color will release in June and the silver one in April? Shouldn’t we have seen a press release by now? Normally 30 days ahead of launch date is when you see a press release.
I agree about the memory 64 or 80 is plenty for my needs. I want better battery life over more memory. I think that is why Rim has some of the best smartphones out there due to battery life.

Vznzv may be the best from a cell phone company but it still sucks. I have telenav, yes from another company, works with real gps. My gf uses vznav and she met up with me for lunch and was placed 2-3 blocks away! I know how vznzv works but I rather have a sprint curve with unlocked gps

Please let it come in interesting colors. I’m sick of Sprint’s color choices (i.e. black).

Telus Employees at the Oakville location say the 8330 will be released early April in Canada, for of course, Telus.
One employee said it will cost around $549 with no contract.

Rogers as well has a GSM version of the Curve, leaving Bell the only Major Canadian Carrier who has yet to release any information on the 8330.

If you have any more questions Telus Employees are very helpful in their stores and are happy to answer most questions.

David Hoff, I like your suggestion however many 3rd party apps don’t run very well off of external memory & right now I don’t think there’s an option in the Blackberry OS to run off external memory. And as for battery life, my BB goes for days without having to recharge sometimes would I sacrifice a day or 2 of that just to have more internal memory, you betcha I would. & I am certain I am not the only one.

@ Alma

You cant run programs from the memory card.
