Get the Curve and don't look back. IF, however, they do release the Bold at that time, call Verizon customer retention and tell them this, but do it very politely:

"I just recently purchased a Curve, but I see you've released the Bold. That is actually the phone I've wanted. I love Verizon and I do understand that I'm in the middle of a new contact. However, I can purchase a new Bold with AT&T and the cost of a new contract with them would actually be less than paying for a full retail version with you guys, and that's including the early termination fee. I'd much rather spend my money with Verizon, so I just wanted to see if you guys would be willing to offer me the Bold at two year pricing?"

This is precisely how I got an 8830 for new customer pricing just a couple of months after purchasing an 8703. Verizon is very good to their customers.
