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…

Are you one of those Nextel BlackBerry users who refuse to switch over to the Sprint side of the house or over to a reputable wireless company who actually has come out with new BlackBerrys in the passed 3 or 4 years? Well, if you are, we may have news for your ears.
This past Tuesday at CITA Sprint CEO Dan Hesse announced that they are coming out with a new Wi-Fi enabled, iDen BlackBerry on the Nextel network later this year. I must have missed this earlier in the week, however, it may be just a little bit too late for this to have much impact.
I know that a lot of Nextel BlackBerry users waited as long as they could for a new iDen device to come out, however, it has been 3 years since the BlackBerry 7100i came out and around 5 since the BlackBerry 7520 came out.
Just think, since the BlackBerry 7100i came out, GSM and CDMA carriers have had the BlackBerry 8700, BlackBerry Pearl, the BlackBerry 8800, and the BlackBerry Curve devices come out in various configurations. Sprint has been saying for years that they weren’t going to come out with another Nextel BlackBerry and finally convinced their remaining BlackBerry users to switch.
The problem is that those Nextel BlackBerry users didn’t switch to Sprint. They switched to AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. I guess that with all the trouble that Sprint/Nextel is having that they need to get those 37 remaining 7100i users some new gear for fear of losing them to another telecom as well.

It looks like Sprint/Nextel is paving the way for the BlackBerry 8830 set to hit Sprint store shelves in July by discontinuing the long selling BlackBerry 7520 in May.
It will be interesting to see if companies that are trying to hang on to the Nextel network and their coast to coast walkie-talkie like push to talk feature that made Nextel famous will switch over to the BlackBerry 8830 or buy up as many BlackBerry 7520 devices that they can find out in the channel.
Time will definitely tell. I just hope that the Nextel diehards start to realize that the network near and dear to their hearts is going away and that they should, if they haven’t already, start making plans to move…

According to Sprint Nextel COO Len Lauer, Sprint Nextel will add the Motorola Q to to it’s line-up of mobile devices in the fourth quarter this year.
Although the Morotorla Q has been known to have a technical glitch or two as compared the BlackBerry, Verizon sales are seen as a total success and Sprint is hoping to bring some of that good fortune to their network.
It will be interesting to see if sales of RIM’s BlackBerry 7130e on Sprint will be affected by the introduction of the Motorola Q.

According to Russell Shaw from BBHub, Research in Motion and Sprint will officially announce the BlackBerry 8702 at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium in Orlando that starts on the 15th.
Russell states for the record that WES is when and where the BlackBerry 8702 will be unveiled citing that RIM often announces new devices at this annual event and since RIM isn’t known for announcing new devices far in advance of their ship dates, we will see 8702 in the sales channels by the end of the month.

Pinstack forum member Infinyte8 has a screen grab of the BlackBerry 8702 in the drop down menu of the “Report a problem with your service” section on Sprint’s Nextel portion of their site.
It is way too early in the morning to try to navigate the deeps of the Sprint site to verify this, however, Russell Shaw from BBHub thinks it is legit and that is good enough for me. If any RIMarkable readers are able to find a link to the “Report a Problem with your Service” page, please throw it up in the comments.

Sporadic interruptions in Research In Motion’s BlackBerry service to four major U.S. carriers were reported by some customers on Wednesday, with no signs of when a fix might arrive.
U.S. BlackBerry users on Cingular, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint Nextel and Canadian users on Rogers have been experiencing BlackBerry outages and problems with Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) since the beginning of the week. Other than acknowledging that their is a problem that appears to be on RIM’s side, the carriers and RIM haven’t really been all that much help.

Can the Sprint PPC 6700 compete with BlackBerry? I think that it depends on the type of user. Diehard BlackBerry users probably would never switch, nor would business users connect to the company’s corporate BES. What about new users who want a PDA/phone that you can get your email on?
If you were in a Sprint Store with $400 or $500 dollars or so, burning a hole in my pocket and you wanted the latest and greatest PDA phone out there, how would BlackBerry match up with a PPC 6700? Now, lets pretend that you aren’t already a CrackBerry addict and that you are not hooking this up to your corporate BES. You just want a really cool cell phone that you can get email on.
As you are looking, you first come across a BlackBerry 7250 and then you come across a PPC 6700. What do you buy? Take a look at the specs of a PPC 6700 before you answer…
