Does anyone have any concrete / confirmed recent updates pertaining to a CDMA Curve?

I Want a CDMA curve – is this really asking too much all things considered?

I’m READY! There are a few rumors on the web about the Black Blackberry Curve with speculative pictures. I hope you are right about Early next year.

Thanks for the update,

Was talking to a Verizon rep yesterday. He said the Verizon engineers are testing a CDMA Curve as we speak. He’s seen it and says its black. Also jokingly said that the engineers who have the curve were bragging about it to other Verizon employees. Anyway, he “thinks” if testing goes well, we should see a Verizon Blackberry Curve early next year.

I spoke to a Verizon sales associate back in September about the Blackberry devices. Specifically, I inquired about whether Verizon might start offering a Blackberry with a camera. He told me that he thought they were going to release the Curve, but not for a while – like until springtime. The way he spoke about it made it sound official, but now I’m wondering if he got it confused with the Pearl, which is soon to be released?

Either way, I’m holding out for the Curve. My 2 year contract with my current phone is up, but I really want the Curve. I hope Verizon doesn’t disappoint.

I couldn’t agree more — Verizon (and Sprint) users want a full QWERTY multimedia phone. The Pearl? Forget it. The CDMA networks need to listen to their users. We want the Curve!!

I think the Curve will come out sooner than you think. CDMA is still a VERY BIG market and the demand is there for the Curve. Despite my angry cry for the Curve NOW…I can’t see giving up great service for a vastly inferior network. (At least in my area).

Besides, I talked to a Verizon rep Saturday and he couldn’t tell me “anything” but did suggest I should wait…with a smile!

I’m hoping!

While I would love to see a Curve offered by Verizon, don’t hold your breath. Verizon feels that the 8830 is their current version of a QWERTY BB. VW has a habit of getting as many people into 2-year agreements with their current phone before they consider upgrading to the next generation. If VW was being agressive (and when has that ever happened?), I wouldn’t expect a Curve from them before next summer.

And to Hellno who thinks CDMA is useless, there are still plenty of Americans on CDMA, enough to generate MORE than enough profit for a full product cycle from BB.

Yeah, I was actually at nextel and was waiting and waiting but I just got the sprint 8703e, I like that phone alot although it isnty as sexy as the pearl of the curve. Imma big guy, so a big phone is better for me and my fingers.

but yeah, we’ll see how long I am happy with the 8703 when probably a year later, some now incredible phone will be out to make me sick to my stomach. If Sprint doesnt step into the fold with the curve by next year, I’ll probably switch carriers.
