  • Verizon's BlackBerry Curve, now in pink

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , Verizon Wireless , EV-DO , CDMA For better or worse, it turns out GSM networks aren't the only ones to enjoy the BlackBerry Curve in a decidedly pale shade of red. The pink Curve 8330 has now been confirmed for Verizon, with sales starting as soon as this Friday for $99.99 after rebate on a two-year contract. We still want that mythical near-black version that Sprint had originally showed off, but this has to be a close second. Or third. Or definitely in the top five.

  • Sprint clarifies smartphone situation: Curve, Q9c still available

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , RIM , Sprint , Windows Mobile , EV-DO , CDMA There's been a lot of chatter the past few days that the Motorola Q9c, a Windows Mobile phone launched on Sprint to little fanfare late last year , has gone up to that great Windows Mobile 6.1 build in the sky now that it's disappeared off Sprint's online store. That's really be something, considering that Verizon and others have just launched it in the past couple months -- but not entirely out of the question, particularly if it's a dead-slow seller or is earning more than its fair share of tech support calls. For what it's worth, though, we touched base with Sprint on the matter and were informed that it's just "out of stock for direct ship" -- that's the stuff you see on Sprint's site -- but that it should still be readily available in retail stores. On a related note, the Curve is out of stock as well, but no need to panic there, either. Sprint tells us that they're experiencing some pretty crazy demand for the thing, but that they're replenishing inventory on a daily basis and it should be back online within a few days.

  • How would you change RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8330?

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , Alltel , Sprint , Verizon Wireless , EV-DO , CDMA Well, what do you know? This week's How Would You Change question hits home in the Mobile world, so we figured we'd give you all a fair shot at chiming in. For those who've coughed up the requisite coin to procure a BlackBerry Curve 8330 on one of our nation's CDMA carriers, how on Earth is it treating you? Found any annoyances you'd like to see changed? If so, head on over to Engadget Classic and drop your comments there. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

  • BlackBerry Curve now available through Sprint

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , Sprint , EV-DO , CDMA Late's better than never -- usually, anyway -- and a rumored release date finally stuck long enough for the BlackBerry Curve 8330 to make an appearance on Sprint's online store. In fact, as "mid-May" goes, May 9 is actually on the early side of things if you want to get technical about it, so we guess some kudos are actually due here. Sprint's asking $179.99 on contract with rebates for the pleasure of indulging in its latest mobile productivity tool, which you'll ironically be using to respond to emails during meetings that you're supposed to be listening in on. Funny how the world works, isn't it? [Thanks to everyone who sent this in] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

  • Sprint's BlackBerry Curve definitely might be available tomorrow

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , Sprint , EV-DO , CDMA After the April slip-up -- which we're hearing might be more RIM's fault than anything else, a thought validated by the fact that Sprint, Verizon, and Alltel have all slipped -- it looks like Sprint customers and would-be customers might finally be able to get their hands on some sweet, sweet Curve lovin' tomorrow. Boy Genius Report has netted what appears to be a page out of Sprint's internal Playbook, showing "direct ship" availability as of May 9 for a mere $179.99 on contract after the full menu of rebates has been applied. Not bad, all things considered (the price, that is, not the delay we've been suffering through). Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

  • Verizon's BlackBerry Curve launches on May 9, too

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , Verizon Wireless , EV-DO , CDMA Turns out the Glyde's gonna have to share the spotlight a bit when it launches early next month. The Curve 8330 has been confirmed by our sources for a May 9 release through Verizon's B2B, web, and telesales channels, followed by a May 12 launch in "all channels" (which we assume means you'll be able to walk into any old store and grab one). It'll go for $319.99 before $50 rebate on a two-year contract, ranging all the way up to $439.99 if you have no interest in signing your name on the dotted line. 'Course, Sprint told us point-blank that it'd be launching the Curve in April and that didn't exactly pan out, 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.

  • Verizon's BlackBerry Curve 8330 in pictures

    Filed under: Handsets , Features , RIM , Verizon Wireless , EV-DO , CDMA While we twiddle our thumbs for these CDMA Curves to finally hit an American carrier or three, we thought we'd post some imagery for everyone to enjoy. Actually, nix "everyone" -- only the diehard BlackBerry addicts are going to get into this. Don't look over your shoulder, buddy, you know who you are. Yeah, you. It's okay, have a peek!

  • Alltel scores the BlackBerry Curve 8330, too

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , Alltel , EV-DO , CDMA Not to be outdone by Verizon and Sprint (and pretty much everyone else with a CDMA network), Alltel's gone ahead and tacked the Curve 8330 onto its roadmap as well. Can you get it now? No, not quite, but it'll hit on May 1 in "titanium" for $229.99 after the full host of discounts and rebates has been applied on contract. Yeah, it sucks that you have to wait a few more days to pick it up, but you can feel free to place your pre-order now if you like over on Alltel's site. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

  • Sprint sez BlackBerry Curve 8330 still on track for this month

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , Sprint , EV-DO , CDMA We've been hearing a groundswell of rumors this week that Sprint reps are telling folks that the Curve 8330 -- looking lovely in dark gray, may we add -- has been pushed all the way back to June 1. In mobile minutes, that's basically like an eternity and a half, but thankfully, we can put those rumors to rest. A quick check with Sprint has confirmed that it still intends to launch the Curve some time "this month," and seeing how there isn't much "this month" left, we figure that has to mean we'll be seeing it in the next few days. Stay tuned! Permalink | Email this | Comments

  • Bell nabs the BlackBerry Curve 8330, too

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , Bell Mobility , EV-DO , CDMA Far be it from Bell to sit back and let Telus have all the fun, the other Canadian CDMA juggernaut has gone ahead and added RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8330 to its roster as well. This one will run between $249.95 CAD and $549.95 CAD (ouch!) ranging from a three-year plan to an outright, free and clear purchase, offering a 2 megapixel cam, 96MB of onboard storage with a microSD slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, EV-DO, and GPS -- in other words, precisely everything you'll get from its Telus, Sprint , and Verizon cousins. Head down to the shop, do a little dance of joy, and revel in your little jump start here, Bell users, because your American friends have a few more weeks to wait on this one.

  • Telus adds BlackBerry Curve, Motorola Q9c

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , RIM , Telus Mobility , Windows Mobile , EV-DO , CDMA There are certain phones that seem to have the uncanny ability to unite a fabulous cross section of carriers across North America, and these two are clearly headed in that direction. Telus way up there in Canada has launched the Motorola Q9c and announced the eventual availability of the BlackBerry Curve 8330, giving it a power pack of smartphones embraced by a good number of CDMA cousins to the south. Both devices offer EV-DO data and Bluetooth; the Curve offers up GPS and a 2 megapixel camera, while the Windows Mobile 6-based Q9c makes do with a 1.3 megapixel sensor -- but offers the key bonus of being available immediately for $149.99 CAD on a three-year deal. No release date or pricing for the Curve has been announced. [Thanks to everyone who sent this in] Read - Motorola Q9c Read - BlackBerry Curve Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
