As many CDMA BlackBerry users know, Verizon, Sprint, and other CDMA wireless providers generally don’t get new BlackBerry devices for up to a year after they are released on GSM carriers. There are rumors on the street, however, that point to a CDMA version of the BlackBerry Bold coming out on Verizon and Sprint not a year after AT&T, but a couple months later.
That’s right boys and girls… Verizon and Sprint may get a CDMA based BlackBerry Bold by summer’s end. Infosync World is reporting that the BlackBerry Bold will hit Verizon and Sprint in September of this year. That is just 2 months or so passed the release date of the BlackBerry Bold on AT&T.

According to BGR, which is usually right about this kind of stuff, the BlackBerry 9000 will be officially announced by Research in Motion May 12th, the first day of WES down in Orlando Florida.
To be clear, the BlackBerry 9000 is being announced… Not released. If RIM follows suite, this thing will probably come out first on AT&T anywhere from a few weeks to a few months later.
Maybe we should go ahead and start the “How long with it take the BlackBerry 9000 to come out on Verizon?” thread now so we can get a jump start on what most probably will be a very popular post if past history is a good indication of things.

Here is little something something we had in our inbox this morning. Is the Sprint BlackBerry Curve going to ship tomorrow? There are so many rumors floating around right now that it is really hard to tell. All I know is that I knew that Sprint wouldn’t get the Curve before Verizon.
It looks like someone over at BGR had this in their inbox this morning as well. Maybe this rumor is true… I guess we will find out tomorrow…

Just yesterday we wrote a post about the 3G-less BlackBerry 9000 code named the BlackBerry Niagara. At least we thought it was code named the BlackBerry Niagara. The non 3G bearing BlackBerry 9000 is actually code named the BlackBerry Javelin and, believe it or not, the BlackBerry Niagara is a EV-DO variant of the device.
Rumor has it that the EV-DO bearing BlackBerry Niagara is supposed to debut sometime in May of 2009. BGR, nor do we, feel that a May 2009 release date sounds quite right. That being said we didn’t think that it would take a year when we asked how long would it take for Verizon to come out with the BlackBerry Curve.
That particular post was written May 6th, 2007. 365 days and 1219 comments later it is still going strong.

BGR has leaked pictures of the the BlackBerry Kickstart, the first clamshell flip phone to come out of Research in Motion. I have to say that the BlackBerry Kickstart was a well kept secret. BGR has known about it for some time, however, this is the first that we’ve heard of the device.
I have to tell you that even though I am a fan of clamshell style flip phones, the BlackBerry Kickstart just isn’t doing it for me. The darn thing is just too dag um large. Unless this thing has a built-in site to site transporter like in Star Trek TNG, I think the size of the BlackBerry KickStart will turn off many consumers.
If RIM really wants to do a clam shell right, they should take a look at the Samsung t719. This was the first clamshell to come with BlackBery Connect. If you make your flip phone much larger than this, it kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion.

We seem to keep going back and forth on the release date of the Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8330.
When Sprint first announced the BlackBerry Curve they said that it would come out in April. Then we heard a lot of rumors that the launch of the Sprint Curve had been delayed, possibly all the way into June. Just the other day Engadget Mobile reported that the Sprint Curve indeed would ship in April. And today, we see that the device won’t be available via the Sprint Store until June 1st.
Now, The Sprint Store technically isn’t Sprint, but, an authorized Sprint reseller. One could gather, however, that if Sprint’s authorized resellers aren’t carrying the device until June, the device probably isn’t coming out until June.
What do you think?
When will the Sprint BlackBerry Curve Ship?

We haven’t done an awful lot of talking about the BlackBerry 9000 primarily because nothing really stood out as significantly superior to the BlackBerry Curve. Granted, the BlackBerry 9000 has a lot of memory and really clear display, but the BlackBerry 8800 style keyboard is con that outweighed the pros in my opinion.
That is until today, however, when he heard rumors that the BlackBerry 9000 sports a front facing video camera. The first thing that comes to mind when I see a mobile device with a video camera on the front and 3G speed is video conferencing.
I don’t know that the potential for video conferencing on a BlackBerry alone is enough to get me excited about the BlackBerry 9000, however, it is enough to get me to at least raise an eyebrow. I just may have to start paying a bit more attention to the BlackBerry 9000… Bad keyboard and all…

I am hearing rumblings that the Sprint BlackBerry Curve has been delayed until May. I have not been able to confirm this, however, I’ve heard it from enough different people that asking the question is probably warranted.
As I’ve said many times before, I just can’t fathom Sprint coming out with the Curve before Verizon. If these rumors are correct, looks like Verizon just may beat Sprint to the punch.

I don’t know if I buy the date or even the picture, however, like I said before, I like the BlackBerry Curve 8330 in black and if Verizon offers this color as an option, this is the color I’d go with.
