I got the manual to the 8330 so I will know how to work it before I buy it.

Spoke with Sprint's Retention department today, the BB Curve will be out April 20th.

Its funny there are still verizon people that are claiming verizon will have a a lock on the market and release first with sprint in May or later.

Apparently Verizon's Curve won't be out until May and Sprint is releasing in April. Has got to be a first.

so the sprint curve won't have picture mail?

Picture mail? Are you referring to HTML? Yes, it will likely have HTML email once there is an upgrade to the BIS and BES environments.

I think he was asking about being able to send pictures you take on your phone to another person's phone like a text message. I was very surprised when I bought the Pearl and that was not a feature. Sending picture messages seemed like an elementary part of a cell phone to me (especially a smart phone with a camera)...... I guess not.

Any word on the color? The black curve looks much nicer than the titanium version.

Didn't ask about the color, while I do prefer the black I'll settle for titanium just to get out of my Treo 650.

Dude, I'd settle for florescent pink if it meant getting out of a Treo 650. haha.

Just as their CEO Dan Hesse finished up his keynote address this morning at CTIA, Sprint finally dropped word that the 8330 Curve will soon be available.

Here's a link to sign to be notified when the Sprint Curve is released.

thanks for sharing. Looks black in the pic hot diggity!

The black color definitely makes it.

That is exactly what i meant.

It baffles me how a high end phone doesn't have a relatively basic feature.
Oh well.

Hmmmmmmm.

You can send a picture via email, and via BB Messenger.

You just can't send via SMS. If that is a big deal you can send to phone#@carrier.messaging.com

While florescent pink doesn't go with my outfit, I'd settle to get out of my Treo 650 too.

I have to say Sprint has been a bear to deal with in getting this phone replaced. I finally got a CS Rep in their retention department who read the notes on my account dating back to 2004. After reading all the attempts to get the phone fixed he noticed I the equipment replacement plan which the other CS Reps and the stores weren't honoring and offered to replace the phone with any Smartphone in their line-up at no cost.

I'm now glad I didn't jump on the 8830!

Thanks Tritan, I tried to post the clickable link but for some reason wasn't able to do it.

nice teaser video of the Scurve.

"The Scurve" I like it! Being a medical guy and all reminds me of scurvy. Thanks for the laugh.

Here's the official 'fact sheet' for the Sprint Curve:

Wait, maybe I'm late, but, are you saying that the Sprint Curve won't be able to send regular mms? Is this the case for all Sprint blackberries?
