do you mean sans Wi-Fi and GPS locked to vznav?

err...right. thats what i meant.


edit: and i edited it just to make your comment not make sense!!!

hahaha!
(too bad you quoted me)

not an issue just was confused there for a moment lol

i haven't really followed the curve details...compared to the 8130 "pearl 2" from verizon, what will the curve offer above and beyond aside from the full qwerty keypad?

Has anyone seen a test device? I wonder what os it is running and if it will have video recording out of the box.

A simple search of the FCC website database shows that no CDMA BB applications have been filed since the 8830. The latest filing was a few days ago and appears to be a Pearl GSM + WiFi.

While definitely not promising, the lack of FCC documentation does not always mean that there is something not on the horizon. It's happened many times before.

from time of filing with FCC to the time it comes out is atleast 3 months correct?

No. The FCC filing, in recent times, typically happens within one month of US release.

The 8130 should have been filed after the 8830. It was several months between the two releases.

Bigger screen, full QWERTY. It isnt much but it is importent to a lot of people.

The full keyboard is very important. I don't mind suretype, but in certain instances it can be frustrating (acronyms, serial numbers etc.) and now that there is a full keyboard bb with close to the same dimensions as the pearl (and a bigger screen to boot) it is a very appealing device. Just wish one of the faster networks would pick it up!

according to a reputable member of HoFo, the Curve will be out Q2 for Verizon based on internal announcements to Verizon employees.

HowardForums: Your Mobile Phone Community & Resource - View Single Post - Enough With The Pearl, I'm Ready For the Curve

I have been following that forum too along with crackberry's and here and ..........

It also appears that the Canadian CDMA carriers will be picking it up near the end of Q1 or early Q2 which further reinforces the rumour. Here's to hoping for March!

that would follow inline with the store that told me to hold on one month.

I'll have my Pearl tomorrow. I am going to stop into an AT&T store to compare them. If I like the Curve better, I may return the Pearl and wait for it.

I'm predicting that Pearl is going to returned at some point in the near future. Call it a hunch.

im not gonna wait I am going to purchase the pearl

That is what I'm going to do. I will be ordering my Pearl probably within the next 3 days.... I will get the Curve eventually though.

I just ordered mine Thanks to Demon.. Will have it in my hot litle hands on friday.

I so want a pearl but still holding on to hopes of a curve with DC.

Wasted dreams my friend. Not going to happen any time soon. I doubt we'll ever see a Curve with that functionality.

It is possible that Sprint's Curve will have support for qchat, which will bo compatible with DC.

I really hope this is the case. I need a BB with PTT. So badly.... and I just feel like an idiot getting a 7100i...

I doubt the first curve out will. Besides there isnt any deffinate information that any sprint will have qchat at all.

This is what the store reps say.

Hey purephase,

Since it is now Feb. 1st, then the CDMA Curve might still be released sometime in Q1 (I hope). However, since RIM and Rogers Wireless in Canada jointly announced a GSM version of the BB 8110 Pearl on Jan. 31st, it's only a matter of time that RIM will announce the CDMA Curve.

Maybe at WES which is being held in Orlando, Florida in May (13-15). It seems like such a long time to wait for this 'baby.'

Keep on Crackin',

Let's hope that it is earlier than that. Would be nice.

I was told third quarter at the earliest yesterday.

sprint version could be sooner if its in the computer system.

yes I knew that sprint was getting it earlier, I was talking about verizon considering this is the when will verizon get the curve thread

Verizon customer service confirmed for me the VZW Curve will ship monday!!

Of course that's complete bs but didn't it feel good reading it?

I heart the rumor mill

Thanks for that great fake out, but whatever...

I just came from my local VZW store and its a big one...

I spoke to the rep who has been right on with the last 3 BB releases and she told me...

Wait for it.....


She just got back from Curve training....da dida da....

The last time they were trained on a BB (Pearl) it was released 3 weeks later...

So sit on that one for a few more weeks. Hope she goes 4 for 4 on her BB info...

I dont know whats more addicting...the blackberry devices or these rumor mill forums! haha.

As much as I wish it were true, 3 weeks is an extremely hopeful date. I think we would have more information in these forums and on bgr if this were true.

I just left a verizon corp store in NH and a guy that's worked there for a few years said they just heard about the curve at a recent training session and it's a go for March, in-store! I believe him

I just heard from a reliable source that VZ will indeed be releasing the curve in a week or two.

Rumors, Rumors. Until I see some spy shots, I won't believe it.
