Is Sprint BlackBerry Curve Delayed Until May?

by Robb Dunewood on April 9, 2008 · 59 comments

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 just spoke with a person at the Sprint 800 number. They told me 4/20 was the internal release date for them getting information and training on the phone. They say the actual release date for sales to the public is the third week of May.

    After being told “end of April” for the past month I was told June by a tech representative yesterday.

    How did she get the info?

    She GOOGLED it.

    No internal info. No updates to employers. They themselves have to google to find out when it’s due in stores, and since that’s what everyone else is doing as well it’s anyones guess when it will hit the stores.

    I’ve been holding off for a month to upgrade because of this. They want me to wait until June, possibly, maybe, probably? If the retention department can’t get me a truly good deal or cut my bill until the 8330 is out, they’ve lost yet another costumer.

    both dates are corrct. april 16 is the release date for the curve through BIRGHTPOINT which is a certain vendor for sprint storea. April 20th is the release date for Sprint communications which is another market of sprint. working for sprint, i can verify this 99.9% and i did research on google. the first few pages list this in details, so i dont know what all the fuss is about. in regards to the bashing of rim vs. apple, apple does not have the push technology or the BIZ or BEZ. corporate america relys on that tech. because they get emails and important document instantaneously. apple has to update avaer 5 minutes or 10 minutes. its all about the time factor and getting things on the go. no doubt that apple may come up with something SIMILAR….however that bash is t o t a l l y wack and naive.

    Totat after rebates: $212.33 (and the activation fee was waved) : )
