This shot was a capture from a cached search showing that the Sprint Store (which at one point had June 1 as the release date) updated it’s site with ‘no date’ on it’s page, however, added additional pictures, etc., as if it was going to launch soon. This leads me to believe that Sprint was all set to release the Curve, but for reasons unknown (…eh hem…EVDO issues) have pulled back the launch and reset the date until mid-June. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more…
Anticipating the rumored release of the Sprint Curve today, I just got off the phone with a representative who informed me that they will not be available until June (so they say…). While Sprint placed some ads out there in the Sunday papers this past weekend, a couple of weeks back I found on the Sprint Store site that the Curve would be released on June 1. Seems they’re sticking by the June time frame. Time will tell, but it’s not today…

Well, for those of you interested in or currently using Verizon, waiting to order and can’t wait until Friday, the Curve is for sale now on their web site. No need to login, it’s up for grabs for all. As you can see by the image, the online price is $219.99 with a $50 rebate, bringing the total to $169.99.
Although we are hearing numerous rumors that some Verizon subscribers have already ordered their Curve, the Verizon BlackBerry Curve 8330 will officially be available this Friday, May 9th via B2B, over the phone, and on the web. It will be available through all channels a week from today, Monday, May 12th.
That is just in time for the kick off of WES, which is pretty much when we suspected the device to available many, many months ago.

Rumor has it that Sprint BlackBerry Curve ads popped up on newspapers all over the country today. CrackBerry.com had a scan of said ad.
The Sprint BlackBerry Curve will cost $179.99 with a 2-year plan. We knew that. Not only will the Sprint Curve come in Titanium, it will also come in red. We didn’t know that.
Rumors are also floating around that the Sprint Curve will ship on May 7th. We shall surely see come Wednesday.
Maybe it is just me, however, it seems like BlackBerry Curve 8330 advertising has picked up significantly today. I tend to watch for new advertising right before the release of new BlackBerrys and I have seen a lot more for the BlackBerry Curve 8330 today than what I normally do.
I am the first to admit that there is nothing scientific about my observations and they could be completely tainted by my anticipation of the BlackBerry Curve from Verizon.
Is it just me, or, are you guys noticing as well?

There are two interesting things to notice in this particular ad. First, you will be able to get a Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8330 at Best Buy. Second, said BlackBerry won’t be available until May 1st.
This isn’t definitive proof the Sprint won’t releasing the Curve in April, however, if it does come out today, tomorrow, or Wednesday, the nations biggest electronics chain won’t be the first to offer it.

Depending on which rumors your follow, the Verizon BlackBerry Curve 8330 may only be a week or two away. In my opinion, it has been the most eagerly anticipated BlackBerry of all time. Our “How Long Will It Take Verizon To Release The BlackBerry Curve?” post has gone well over the 1000 comment mark and about 20% of all searches on RIMarkable about the Verizon BlackBerry Curve.
Do you think that all this will translate into individual device sales unlike anything that we’ve seen on a particular BlackBerry model before?
Were you thinking about getting a BlackBerry but not looking to pay the $200 to $300 that a new device will cost you? Well, AT&T is offereing a free refurbished BlackBerry Curve 8310 to new subscribers signing up a contract and existing subscribers extending the plan they are already on.
