I so want this phone, but not on the ATT nor Tmobile network. Anxiously awaiting the release of Curve on VZW as well. I so want this phone, but not on the ATT nor Tmobile network.

LOL As for a post up top, I did notice that blackberrycurve.com has a black option now on that page! I am not sure if another provider has a black curve, but in going thru each one I did not see that! So... If there is any truth to the VZW tech about it being tested and being black, maybe we are getting close! I am with all of you VZW calls just work! Sure they are over priced, and customer service is about as shitty as it gets! And their phone's are LAME! But when I want to make a call it WORKS! and that's why I have a cell phone!

Freud was right it's always about sex or money... lot of broke people here who don't have sex.

No way a Curve is out this soon on VZW, especially with the Pearl coming tomorrow. If it did, there would be a lot of Pearls being returned for a Curve. It sounds like she might be a moron.

Like he knew when it was coming but didn't want to say anything, but then another rep chimed in and said the 14th. I was asking her if she was sure it wasn't the pearl she said no. So we'll see if she's a complete moron or knows what shes talking about.

No other major wireless service provider has the greed and arrogance of verizon. No other major service provider cripples and removes functions from consumers wireless devices and then try's to LIE and pass blame to the device manufacture. No other major service provider goes out of their way to make things more difficult and expensive on it's customers. Consumer ignorance is what verizon makes it's money on, and so far there has been a endless supply of mindless sheep believing anything and everything verizon tells them. Oh and Patrick providers DON'T "put wifi on their phones" device manufactures such as Rim DO, however it's verizon which makes sure WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS is crippled from their devices. hate a service provider? nope, Your incorrect but do like to find and point out the TRUTHS of this very special service provider which are not only anti-consumer, but also anti-union.

It really does not matter what you say in your posts until you tell me how long have you been with Verizon. If you never had Verizon how can u say negative things. I can say Ford's suck but I have only had Hondas. How credible is my opinion on that. If you did have Verizon than according to your posts you were also an idiot and how could I accept your opinion either. Spend time researching your own cell provider if you spend have as much time digging up dirt on your provider as you do on Verizon you would probably not be happy either. All cell providers screw the consumer one way or another. Cheaper data rates equal slower connnections. Maybe providers put wifi on their phones because they know their data connections SUCK. Just my 2 cents and yes I can say this because I have had att cingular sprint nextel and alltel bfore Verizon @hellno

EDGE in some ways is far superior than evdo, EDGE has a much larger global footprint. evdo might be the better technology BUT it's closed technology and you must deal with qualcomm to use it, and there are many drawbacks in using it. There are more than a handful top tier device manufactures which want nothing to do with evdo and qualcomm. The whole argument between evdo, edge and wifi started when one claimed T-mo "can't compete". Well in terms of the RIM BB (this is www.rimarkable.com) T-Mo can and does keep up using both EDGE and WiFi technologies, T-Mo also keeps up by keeping the prices low, and with it's superior customer service. It's also very short sighted to claim T-Mo aka Deutsche Telekom "can't compete" The reasoning and excuses claimed as reasons for "switching" (now we find not switching, but using your work phone and dropping your personal phone) are invalid from word one. WiFi is a up and coming technology in mobile devices, one which some of the carriers are afraid of. WiFi has many more uses than "for in house reception issues and unlimited talk on the network via wifi." Again WiFi is faster than evdo, and is also cheaper than evdo. While staying on topic, I'd say the RIM BB Curve 8320 with EDGE and WiFi can not only compete but exceed offerings from the cdma carriers. Now will there be a Curve with evdo? who knows and who cares. At this point cdma providers and their customers should be counting their lucky stars that over a year after the Pearl came out for GSM it trickled down to cdma. There is many a good reason why RIM focuses on GSM and not on declining cdma. There is little advantage for evdo over EDGE and WiFi when it comes to our RIM BB's. Apple was never "in the door" for verizon to push them out, (fantasy land now) IF verizon did push Apple and the iPhone out it just proves more what idiots they are at verizon. IF verizon has such a wonderful network based on evdo (which is being sh*tcanned for LTE) and knowing that there is not even a 1/4 of the handset devices being made for cdma why all the lies, greed and arrogance? IF verizon's network was so hot why not give consumers the freedoms to use it as they please and pay for what they use? Why all the restrictions? Why all the crippling removing of functions, and then FUD to try to cover it all up? Why is verizon "unlimited" not unlimited? Due to that all being completely true about verizon, there is really no reason for RIM to make a cdma Curve for verizon. There certainly is no rush. Especially when verizon customers seem to need to twist reality to desperately justify using verizon and closed, declining cdma instead of standard, open, global GSM in the first place. Some will just never get it. When a service providing company constantly does things to screw and nickel and dime it's customers, while other providers are as good if not better than them it's a no brainer which company deserves to have the consumer as a valued customer and which company continues to treat it's customers like they are brainless sheep. Just like GSM technology and RIM deserve each other and cdma gets the scraps it deserves. The FACTS and TRUTH are more important than the fanboy verizon games.
