Verizon BlackBerry Curve Specs… No Rev. A?

vzw-curve-specs.jpgWhile the excitement of the Curve on Verizon has been overwhelming, one specification in the features list stood out. It is not Rev. A upgradeable. That is correct (see features capture). Why? The Pearl carries Rev. A speeds. For those of you who use your device for tethering, this may be an issue when deciding if you should purchase the Curve.

On another note, the Curve does carry an additional 32 MB of Flash memory over the Pearl model. For those of you carrying those large contact lists, bloated calendars, etc., some relief has been provided by the new Curve.

So does this phone have an integrated GPS receiver that is enabled and does it have a built in camera? There seems to be a difference of opinion depending on whose blog you read.

It has both, however you need to subscibe to the VZW Navigator service in order to use the GPS function. The pictures out on the web will show the camera lens on the back of the device.

Actually Michael, the CDMA Pearl will support Rev. A when it’s launched.

Matthew, the Pearl has been available for many months on both Sprint and VZ’s networks. It is not Rev A.
