BlackBerry 8330 Coming to Verizon on Friday

It’s ok, you can say it… Finally! Verizon Wireless customers won’t have to wait much longer for the BlackBerry Curve 8330 that we’ve known to be coming to the nation’s largest CDMA carrier for quite some time. Of course this news is a bit overshadowed by all of the BlackBerry juice we’ve been feeding you lately, but it will still come as good news to those of you waiting for a solid upgrade on VZW. According to several reports and a bunch of emailed tips we’ve received (thanks guys), here’s how it’ll go down:

Friday, May 9th: 8330 available through B2B, telephone sales and on the web
Monday, May 12th: 8330 available through all other channels

The price point will reportedly be at $270 after a $50 rebate with a 2-year contract and $440 without a contract. Not bad at all; you VZW people excited or still irked that it’s taken this long? We also have heard of people getting orders through already. Anyone’s Curve shipped yet?
