Just got an email from out B2B rep and I quote:

Many of you have been waiting for the launch of the Blackberry Curve, and I’m pleased to announce that it is now AVAILABLE.
The launch pricing is $204.99 – $100 Advanced Device Discount= $104.99
In addition to the Curve, we have just launched the new Motorola Q9c. The pricing for the new Q is $154.99, and also qualifies for the $100 ADD, bringing it down to $54.99.
This pricing is for new users as well as eligible upgrades as long as they have a 400 minute plan and unlimited data on the device.

My curve shipped and I shall have it by 10am tomorrow morning (according to FedEx) i recieved my tracking number wihtin a few short hours and all is well and good. it only cost me $169 after the mail in rebate and all applicable discounts. i dont know what the discounts are because i have only had verizon service for about 3 months now… but i didnt argue with her and i even used 611 i didnt dial the 800 number…but you have to MENTION THE SKU!

Just read the fine print people – that VZ Navigator is the only GPS enabled app on the BB 8830 and 8330 – not bad if you want to pay for their service.

PERSISTENCE is the KEY! If you really need it now or in a few days acutally, use the 800-922-0204 number and tell them to make sure they enter the sku. IT IS THERE. If they search for anything like “curve” or just “8330″ it won’t come up in their system. I had a very nice lady help me out.

Ok, STRIKE 3. Guess I’ll have to wait til Friday or whenever….. Customer Service refuses to even try stating that their warehouses don’t even have the phones available. Did anyone ACTUALLY receive theirs today?

By: DMZ6

DMZ6 — Tue, 06 May 2008 17:46:10 +0000

Ok, I believe some of you said you should have yours already! How are they? I gave the lady I spoke with the sku # and she didn’t even attempt to look. If only I had a tack hammer……

I’m gonna have to agree with ‘DMZ6′- not sure how some of ya’ll do it. I called twice today and was told i can only order online on friday.
what number are you guys calling? i tried *611 both times.

I like how some of you actually think it was VERIZON who was delaying the launch of this device. because you know a carrier would like nothing more than to delay launching devices.

it was no coincidence that all the CDMA curves came out at the same time. just as it will not be any coincidence that the new touch screen BB will be CDMA only.

The makers(RIM) are the ones with the exclusive deals per carrier and network.

I like how you idiots think you know so much, but in reality you know nothing haha

Scratch my last post… I just got one!!!! I called the 800 number instead of the 611.

I’d like to see screen caps of your orders… I don’t believe they have them for sale yet. I called 611 twice and have looked all over verizon’s website… all i found was a press release for the phone from march.

Any word/links on what the ACTUAL specs for the device are?

Jawsnj…Did you get it with a new 2 year contract? What is an all-inclusive BB plan?

By: brian

Jeff… ITS NOT THE SAME PHONE!

This has more memory (ram), EVDO, and camcorder functions.

That’s um…way hella too expensive since you can pick one up for $99 on ANY other carrier.

jawsnj — Tue, 06 May 2008 00:08:32 +0000

Just ordered mine today will be in my hands by 10:30 am tomorrow thru B2B. You can call them and get a curve today. I paid 149 with all inclusive BB plan.

Good luck all.

I dialed 611 from my phone this morning and the woman quoted me $219.99 but then looked at the computer again and said she could not sell me the phone until Friday…no dice.:(

I called back this afternoon and got another lady that quoted me $219.99. She was going to process the order when she put me on hold for 2 minutes…when she came back she gave me another discount for some advanced device discount, bringing the price down to $127.19. Plus there is still the $50 mail-in which brings the grand total to $77.19. With free shipping she said it should be here by Thursday.

Keep calling back!

So VZW’s version has video? Nice. Thought we had to wait until the “new” OS was released. Good news. Anyone get there’s yet? What’s the silver/black look like in person?

By: brian

brian — Mon, 05 May 2008 21:37:39 +0000

well I ordered one when it was on verizons website Sunday, before it was taken down.

ATT does not have this phone.. sure its a 8300 series, but its also on their slow edge, has no camcorder, and no mms (i think).

Sprints version also has no mms.

so thats why I decided to go with verizons.

i went into a verizon store and ther guy was like i can order you one no prob. it shows up on there internal catalogue and they enter some code he had on a pad of paper and it works. had mine since friday. works perfect. it was like 480$ retail so that hurt.

How do some of you do it? Why do I get the VZW reps that have no freakin clue what I am talking about when I call and try to order the 8330?

By: brian
