The phone is being release May 7th on the sprint website. It should be in store on May 9th.. Price of the phone is 599.99 But with a new contract of 2 years it will be priced @ 249.99 with a mail in rate of a 100.00 dollars. So after the rebate and taxes you will be paying 179.99.. This also includes upgrades too. I’m a sprint customer service rep.

Thank you for contacting Sprint Web chat. My name is Christina T, how may I assist you with your Sprint.com order today?
I was chatting witha rep a few minutes ago and they dropped the chat.
All right, how may I assist you?
I was looking at the Simply Everything $99.99 plan and the new blackberry curve 8330.
The Blackberry Curve is not released yet, and I do not have an exact date on which it will be released.

This site says June 1, 2008 and the plan that I want ends on May 31, 2008. How do I lock in the $99.99 plan and purchase the 8330?
I am not authorized to that cite you are referring to, I just looked at it, and I assume if you buy the phone and plan now then you will get it when the phone is released.
My question is it looks as if the Simply Everything $99.99 unlimited plan is not there?
Is the Simply Everything $99.99 plan ending MAy 31, 2008?
Yes, that is correct. That is not our official web site, so I am assume since it only a preferred partner that it only gives certain plans and phones.
So the Simply Everything plan ends May 31, 2008? And the Curve will not be avaliable until June 1, 2008?
Yes, that is correct.
Do you currently have Sprint service?
no
Verizon
All right, so you could order the another phone with the Simply Everything plan toward the end of May, and you can switch the phone out for the Curve once it has been released, as long as it is within the 30 day trial period.
Along with free activation and shipping, I can also provide you with our promotion code to enter with your order. You will get $25 per phone, off of your first or second billing cycle for entering this code.
I would be happy to walk you through your order and provide you with the promo code to enter.
What phone?
Any phones.
If I order a phone now and the Curve does not come out until June that will be more than 30 days?
All right, so you could order the another phone with the Simply Everything plan toward the end of May, and you can switch the phone out for the Curve once it has been released, as long as it is within the 30 day trial period.
Is there anything else I can help you with at this time?
May, I am confused
Just order a phone and the Simply Everything plan towards the end of May, so that you can get the plan before it ends, then the Curve comes out in June, so as long as it is within 30 days of trial period you can bring back the other phone to get the Blackberry Curve, all right.
If you want the Simply Everything plan then you must order it before May 31st.

When Will The Sprint Curve Ship? | RIMarkable — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:08:19 +0000

[...] 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. [...]

just got off the phone with Sprint Telesales…….. June release date for the Curve 8330. Still holding onto my 7100i BRICK

I want to wait until “later this year” for the BB on the Nextel side but.. it’s only been 3 years since that rumor started!! I guess myself and the other 23 or 24 Nextel BB users better band together, lol!

Hey you Sprint haters, bow down! Stop sippin the Haterade. We got the bomb Curve while VZW peeps got stuck with that ugly silver crap. To make it worse, you VZW folks are trapped in that money grubbin, ala cart prison. While Sprint is spreading the love with it’s data package. No one else comes close. And as far as network superiority, it’s a wash. Noone, I repeat, noone has coverage everywhere. So don’t hate, congratulate!
