We have a VZW business acct as well...perhaps that's why they (supposedly) allowed my order. At this point, whatever happens...happens. It's all good.

[thats all folks]

I'll give them another call I work for a college in Boston and we have a contract with them. If you have a chance can you send the form?

[joeeey]

I am also in NYC, but I work for local government. So they gave me the discounted business price . The total came to 254.67 less the 100.00 rebate for a total of 154.67 for a 1 year contract. I was able to complete my order today.

here is doc. I removed my biz rep name and # though.

[thats all folks]

I must have the worst luck they tell me that you can't get the phone till the May 12th
pre-order. Is there another number besides *611 that I should be calling and who are people talking to?

[voyager9355]

I called 800-922-0204

Me too.

[thats all folks]

Thats what I called, I guess I'll just wait till you can get it from the store, since the rep for the college is non responsive to the e-mails.

[thats all folks]

What option did you pick from the menu?, maybe I'm talking to the wrong people.

[JODZ]

On the phone with them as I type. She's processing the order..... Fingers crossed!! She put me on hold to finish order.... Mike

I called that 1-800 number above also with no luck. Don't feel bad.

[voyager9355]

@that's all folks -
I chose option 4 - "other options" then option 5 "other questions"

No option, just said "upgrade phone" when it asks you what would you like to? But allot of people are getting turned down for this now. I had a special circumstance, maybe thats why they allowed me to order it.

[JODZ]

YEAH!!!!!! I'm in. She stated it will be going out today, and I should have it by Monday.... The company I work for also gets a discount..... I was going to try and call my rep, but I didn't have to. Based on how my account is setup I'm gravy! I even asked her are you sure this phone is going to be sent to me by Monday and she assured me. She didn't sound unsure at all..... I'll definetly let everyone know what happens. On a side note I've had several issues with BB's since I purchased in Feb. I switched a pearl 3 times before they allowed me an 8830 at no additional cost. So I just got the curve for nothing extra out of my pocket..... We'll see. Good luck everyone. Mike

P.S I was also given an order #.

[johnwroman]

Just got off the 1-800 number and had to give to account rep the (SKU # bb8330) number without the "c" at the end per the earlier post. She had to look "several different ways" to find the Curve but she was persistent and did finally find it. You need a friendly, helpful rep to come up with the phone.

Mine is set to arrive Tuesday and I've got the order confirmation number.

[JODZ]

How long after an order is placed before you can see it in the system? I'll check later todayif not tomorrow to see if there's any tracking information.

[dwp1975]

You guys are lucky, I am itching to upgrade from my 8130 to a 8330. Who ever gets theirs first, please let us know how good it is as a phone, my 8130 stinks as a phone compared to my 8830 and even my 8703e. I usually have to use my BT headset to get decent call quality.

After my earlier post today, quite a few of you expressed a certain amount of skepticism.

I live in the Los Angeles market, my Verizon account is discounted (government employee), and my price for the device was approx $150, before the $50 mail-in rebate (not counting tax). I also had to renew my contract for another two years.

The rep couldn't find the Curve in her system right away, but put me on hold for a few minutes, then came back and said that it was "certainly doable". I gave her the sku # I found at CrackBerry.com – The #1 Site for BlackBerry Users & Abusers forums:
(Apparently, Verizon Curves available NOW - BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com

The device is being shipped Fedex two-day delivery, and I was told to expect it Monday.

Who knows how the mysterious wheels of luck spin at Verizon Wireless when it comes to this kind of stuff. I do know from experience that if one doesn't succeed at first with a customer service rep, then call back and try again with another rep.

Good luck everyone!
