Default Pls Confirm - 04-20-2008, 11:28 AM

Can anyone out there confirm if the phone's really out?

RIM put out a press release on Apr 1 announcing the imminent release of the Curve on the Sprint network. Since then, you had Sprint constantly sending us mixes signals as to when they really plan on putting it out there.

I've seen some reports here on BBF from Sprint customers all saying that acording to Sprint CS the phone's to be out today, the 20th of April. So far there is no sign of it on Sprint's website.

I'm thinking that maybe there's an internal conflict going on there between reps of Rim and Sprint respectively. Rim announced the Curve's release on their website because they understood it to be ok with Sprint. However, Sprint, upon learning about the imminent release of OS 4.5 wanted to tweak their themes and other inerfaces so that the new phone should come with the new OS preinstalled, and, by so doing, give Sprint a publicity boost by having the first official phone preloaded w/ the new OS.
