I was at a Cingular/ATT reseller store yesterday and the RIM distriibutor was there. There was some kind of quiet launch last week for the Curve. It wasnt like the 8800 launch which was the night before release and they gave out hundreds of 8800's. They only auctioned 1 off. Distributor said 24th release on website and very few stores having them for sale that day. Friday will be the day they start getting a lot in with Monday morning the day resellers start getting them. I trust this reseller. He has the account for the company where i work and does great volume. I met distributor a couple of times before. Just in case my younger bro is in europe and ill have him send me one next week if this is inaccurate.
