Ordered mine from the sprint website 1 hour ago…it was $312.33 including taxes but when it arrives I get the mail-in-rebate for $100.

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

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.

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.

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.

im a sprint exclusive and we got price cards and display stuff for the curve but still no curves. from what my rim rep has told us is that it in fact was to be released on the 16th but do to inventory issues it was pushed back. sprint and brightpoint wanted to have enough in inventory so there would not be any back order issues due to demand with the curve. and with the new simply everything plan that includes the blackberry service they meaning sprint felt that there would not be enough. last i heard as well was may 1st but who knows. all i know is that i check brightpoint daily to see if its there for me to order.
