**FULL** QWERTY keyboard (not Suretype, not T3, but a FULL keyboard).
Camera
EVDO

Any rumors out there?

juwaack68 · 12-09-2007, 02:35 PM

I bet we'll see one next year

Tritan · 12-10-2007, 12:23 AM

i am wondering the same thing. I just seen my buddies curve on ATT and its sweet. Are you not happy with your Treo switch?

Yup, and it very well might include push to talk

I was always reluctant to go to the Treo, but it had everything I was looking for (except a rock solid OS of course).

So I have been itching to go back.

It exists already... it's called the 8130.
It has all of those things.

I can't see it with push to talk but I looked at the crimson curve at ATT tonight and I can't see why it wouldn't have push to talk on iden.

I new you would come back, just like I am going to do. Once you do bb you can't go back.

Eh... Suretype is Qwerty... take a look at the 8130 keyboard and tell me what the order of the keys are. On mine, they are Q W E R T Y , etc.

Suretype keyboards are Qwerty. They just aren't full-sized keyboards where each letter has it's own key.

NJBlackBerry · 12-11-2007, 06:05 AM

I always refer to Suretype keyboards as Suretype, and normal sized keyboards as QWERTY. I would never refer to an 81xx as having a QWERTY keyboard.

I agree that way no one is confused..

The irony of this statement is funny to me.
To me, there's something strange about using inaccuracies in order to clear up confusion.

You agree that you'd never refer to an 81xx keyboard as being Qwerty... however, it is Qwerty.
Wouldn't that lead to more confusion?

Dawg · 07:47 AM

most people know when you mention qwerty you are talking about a full keyboard and when you say suretype then you are refering to a small condensed keyboard.

straight from RIMs site SureType® QWERTY-style keyboard with SureType software (Keyboard)

Milkman · 12-11-2007, 08:00 AM

Yeah, I agree. That has always been the 'lingo' as I understood it as well.

So l will edit my original post to ensure that there is NO confusion.

Do you synch with a corporate email server? Which data plan do you have to have -- I was told that you can use just the $15 plan Basic Vision plan.

jsconyers · **OS:** 4.5.0.175

Welcome to the forums!

You will need a BlackBerry data plan to connect to your corporate BES. This is not included in the basic vision plan.

I agree with this statement as well. A lot of my users are not really tech savvy and assume QWERTY means 1 letter per key. I try to keep things as simple as possible for them. They understand suretype is more than one letter per key.

How about synching with a treo and corporate email? Do you know which sprint plan would be required?

jsconyers · **OS:** 4.5.0.175

I am not too familiar with how the treo syncs with corporate mail. I have never used one. I don't know what kind of data plan they require as well.

As do most.

Tritan · 12-12-2007, 06:52 PM

I want a 8830 but wondering if RIM will announce a CDMA curve on sprint the first of January. Should I hold off or buy now?

No, it wouldn't actually.

Depends on what you want. This Curve is a little smaller and has a camera. Some also think the keyboard is better (I've haven't used the Curve, so I don't know). Aside from that, they are basically the same phone. I love my 8830, but I really want the camera, so I will probably switch when it comes out.

OK, thanks for clearing that up then.

ABarrera · 12-13-2007, 12:42 PM

I have the Pearl and I love it but I've been waiting for the Curve so I can have the full keyboard. Come on Sprint...everybody else has it!!!

your opinion! And we all know you give it freely.

Tritan · 12-13-2007, 08:09 PM

I think RIM will announce it at CES in January.

Why, you don't think it would stupid for Verizon to skip the Curve, when it is so popular right now?

Carriers skip devices regularly. Its not going to kill them or put them out of business by any means.

pgregory · 12-14-2007, 09:45 AM

Whether verizon skips the curve or not, I just would like to get a solid answer so I can make a decision to stay with them or not.

From what JIBI says it may still come to light. I trust him so its just a wait and see game like always. Besides i dont see what the big deal is you would trade a great network off to a crappy one just for a device?

In my opinion, the device does not make the network, the network makes the device. You could have a great device, but with bad coverage, what good is the device?

No, but it would certainly piss off a lot of their customers.
