Is the CDMA BlackBerry Curve 8330 Upon Us?

by 21 Comments

I know that there are a lot of RIMarkable readers out there that are waiting for the CDMA version of the BlackBerry Curve, the BlackBerry Curve 8330, to come out as patiently as they can. Thanks to the quick eye and quick thinking of Howard Forums member blackdogs377, who nabbed a screen shot of the BlackBerry Curve 8330 on Telus’ website, we can report that the much anticipated release may be very near.

We’ve been hearing a lot of rumors that the BlackBerry Curve 8830 may actually come out this month. Even though I am on the record for stating that I didn’t think it would debut before May, I hope this is one of those times that I am wrong.

Telus has pulled the promotion for the BlackBerry Curve 8830 from there site, however, whenever there is smoke, there is usually fire. As it’s always been, it’s just a matter of time before the 8830 debuts, however, it’s looking like it will be a smaller amount of time than what I, at least, thought that it would be.

CDMA BlackBerry Curve Pictures Popping Up All Over The Internet

We’ve been hearing rumors about a CDMA BlackBerry Curve possibly debuting before WES for a while. Now it would appear that CDMA BlackBerry Curve pictures are popping up in various spots on the internet.

I’ve got to say that a CDMA BlackBerry Pearl is probably the first device since SureType has hit the scene that would make me want to switch back to a full QWERTY keyboard bearing device.

From what we can tell, the CDMA BlackBerry Curve pretty much looks like any other BlackBerry Curve. If you want to see more actual pictures, however, check it out here, and here…

I Doubt We’ll See A CDMA BlackBerry Curve Any Time Soon

Since the release of the Verizon BlackBerry Pearl, soon to be followed by the release of the Sprint BlackBerry Pearl (Nov. 23rd as rumor would have it), we have received a wave of questions asking when the BlackBerry Curve would be out on Sprint or Verizon.

I don’t have any more inside information than the next guy who spends way to much time wondering what RIM will do next, however, I can all but promise you that there won’t be a CDMA BlackBerry Curve out before Christmas.

We ran a poll a few weeks ago just to see when RIMarkable readers thought the Curve would hit a CDMA network and the overwhelming majority of the folks that responded don’t think that we will see the BlackBerry Curve until next Spring, however, about 20% thought that it would be here before Christmas.
Well, unless those pollsters mean Christmas of 2008, I don’t think there is a snow balls chance that we will see the CDMA Curve that soon.
