[quote=Jawsnj;912015]I've taken that approach, this phone has been out for a year on other carries, so like most phones that are cool Verizon seems to be the last to get cool phones, so we've been waiting for a year or so, so whats another week or month????



And that is why you are not a true BB fanatic, because those of us who love our BB's CAN'T wait to have the latest a greatest releases, even if it is a year after everyone else got it...

So don't question what you don't understand, I am also a miserable suffering Met fan so that may help you see where I am coming from...hehehehe

Jawsnj,

I guess if you were a "true BB fanatic" you would of change carriers and got the curve a year earlier!! Just kidding...

I really love the my BB, will never go back to windows mobile. I just gave up any hope on Verizon getting phones out quickly.

[quote=Jawsnj;912019]See, I'm the exact opposite. I'm a true BB fan, and as such, will need some serious justification to get my 8830 out of my hands and replace with a curve. I have it set up the way I want it, spent money on a proclip car mount, several holsters, black housing, etc.

Oh, and I'm a Red Sox fan, and they just got swept by the D-Rays. How do you think I feel right now?

I can respect a man who has his phone set up just right, as I too have my 8130 just perfect, except one thing, this stupid half keyboard...

I got it as a stop gap because i really did not like the 8830 keyboard, and i do like have the camera and media player with sd card so spilled milk...just anxious for my new toy...


The one issue i would have with this release taking so long is that unless I am mistaken the operating sytem between the 8130 and 8330 are so similare it should have taken 5 minutes to test and disable gps...its just the controlling ways of VZW...


Lets go Mets...

I can't wait hopefully on the 30th it comes out!

I got 50 says it is online on the 9th and available in store on the 12th

i think we will be lucky if we get it in May at all, I have no reason to be optimistic

I am paying 405.00 if anyone has the 8330.
thanks
I am thinking mid may.

You could pay $40,500 and still, no one has it. It will be out by Monday for business customers.

according to who???

[quote=Jawsnj;912529][quote=kjjb0204;912239]well I can understand you bought a device that didn't fit your needs. Most Mets fans don't think before they act. Heck look at the team they root for


But on a serious note you knew it had SureType when you bought it yet you settled for something you don't like. Whose fault is that?

My business rep.

Cell Phones, Cell Phone Plans, Cell Phone Accessories - Verizon Wireless

All Signs point to any day, if you go to the link or visit VZW online and search 8330, everything comes up for the curve...

Setting, FAQ's, troubleshooting, downloads...

Almost here boys, almost here...

Tomorrow is May first, just shocked no leaked word on release date???

best buy has sprints bb 8330 on their site for sale 5-1 to 5-31 no news on verizon

its the no news that is bothering me...

From my corporate rep...

The RIM Rep advised him it would either be Monday or Friday of next week. (week of 5-5) He also said the codes are in their ordering system to place orders, but there are none in stock yet.

My heart is racing...

Alltel get's there's tomorrow from what I've heard and seen. You can actually pre order Alltel's Curves. Grrrrr I'm ready

just got a call from my rep and said he will have them at his store for me to pick up on monday may 12th

May 9th

Verizon's BlackBerry Curve launches on May 9, too - Engadget Mobile

That doesn't make sense. Verizon prides itself on its business service and by releasing on a Friday then overnight shipping is useless to most businesses. My business rep says tomorrow or Monday.

that's why he said to come up on the 12th,he's getting them in on the 9th for the 12th release.

thanks for the update

My business/governmental sales rep just emailed me and said: "the Curve is set to come out Monday according to sources further up the chain than me. I expect to have official pricing by Friday."

Hopefully Friday we'll hear something more official.

As long as it's coming out...........................

why would you launch a new phone on a friday...then by the time i order it it will still not be to my office desk for set up till Monday...


Yet another example of big business just NOT GETTING IT...

Are you on tmobile or Verizon?

this has to have been posted today, i do a vzw search nearly everyday

One of the key lines in the Engage Mobile link is "so we recommend exercising some restraint here until your jaded heart actually spies it on Verizon's site -- or better yet, on a store shelf."

I would expect a mini site from Verizon for the curve, much like they did for the Q. They launched the Q mini site like a couple of weeks before you could buy them.

I have word this morning that matches up with everyone else. Curve launch package in the hands of the business reps at least. Available on 5/9.

Can anyone explain how and why a carrier would release a phone on a Friday???

It just seems pretty stupid to launch at the end of a week, when a Monday would allow for beter delivery options, instead of having to wait thru the weekend???

I actually had to pull major complaining to have them deliver my pearl to my home on a Sat, and I really do not want to have to go thru that again...

Anyone shed some light on this industry brainfart...

called aroung to several stores today and same ole same ole, no one knows anything. One rep told me they usually get new devises in a week in advance.....so dose this mean it will be a couple of weeks before they release since they dont have them in stock yet?

How did Alltel actually beat Verizon at getting this out? Amazing.

There are people on HoFo who are claiming that they have been able to order their VZW Curves today. Most are claiming that they are overnighting so expect a flood of pictures tomorrow if what they say is true.

One gentleman (Mark_Venture) has a demo unit and has uploaded pics:

I just spoke with someone who found it but said she couldn't order it. The sku is bb8330c and when she put that in it came right up. She said it isn't launched so she can't ship.

Also, I found several people on crackberry.com that said they will have it tomorrow.

i ordered mine!!!!

When are you supposed to get it?

tomorrow before 3pm

I just called and ordered mine!! It will come Mon or Tues. My phone was out of contract so with new 2yr and $50 rebate its going to be $269.99. I had a real nice girl who said it was showing in stock but that her location was the only one that had them. And I'm sorry dont shoot me but I forgot to ask where she was.

who are you guys calling to order???? Verizon customer service??

Yes I called the 800 number
