Well, I know it doesn't seem fair, but it really isn't fair to Verizon either. Think of the people who bought the 8830 last summer on AT&T, only to see the Curve come out a couple months later. Verizon can't keep giving you discounts just because you want a new phone, because they aren't making money selling a BlackBerry Curve for 120 dollars. They make money off the service, and if you keep getting expensive phones at cheap prices, they'll be losing money.

Sadly, after speaking with an in-store Verizon rep and one on the phone, the result was the same: I am more than welcome to order a Curve for the low low full retail price of only $439. I've been a Verizon customer for almost 10 years, and thus far their customer service has been great to me, yet they were completely unwilling to give me any sort of a deal at all. Even the threat of changing carriers did noting to change their tune. I guess I have to wait until the price goes down...

I took my vzw number to AT&T and within 10 days i received a lette asking me to come back to VZW. they did not charge me the early termination fee and gave any phone at the promotional price.

I couldn't take it anymore. After seeing the relatively phenomenal "resale values" of my tiny 4GB iPhone, I bit the bullet and will hold an 8330 in my hand by Monday (1-2 biz days from now). I'm so excited it's ridiculous. :

I love the Curve! It's the best BlackBerry ever!

Likely getting mine tomorrow in-store (apparently the Verizon guy will call if our store receives them). Very excited - though sadly I won't be able to play much with it until after 9:00.

Finally got mine!! What a beauty! I had to con a Circuit City guy to order it and he had to go through 3 managers before he got one to OK it. Ordered it on Tuesday and got it yesterday. Very nice!!

Just exchanged my pearl for the Curve at my local store. They did a warranty swap for me. No charge even exchange. Love the Curve so far.

Hello everyone,

It seems as if people are paying different prices for their Verizon 8330 Curve.

I am curious how much you all spent and if it is a good price, how did you get it so cheap (company discounts, new every-2, etc)?

If you spoke to a friendly VZW rep, please mention their info too. I would like to get the Curve, but as a student, would like to get it as cheap as possible.

On that note, do I need an Enterprise account to get my school's (.edu) mail?

I got mine for $49.99. Here's How:

Ordered online. Posted Price was $299.99 NE2 (New Every 2) Discount was $100.00, now at $199.99. ADC (Advanced Device Credit) was $100.00, now at $99.99. $50.00 Mail-In Rebate (For ordering through Verizon Wireless Website) bring final cost on the Newly Released Curve down to a net of $49.99. By the way when I ordered mine, I picked on the accessory screen a Duracell 4GB card which normally was $59.99, was on sale for $38.50; I picked that up as well. As a side bonus, since I ordered before 5PM on that day, overnight shipping was free! I am only posting now, because I wanted to be sure that everything showed up as scheduled.

Good Luck to all!

So I got my new Verizon 8330 Curve today. It is awesome. Camera, video, MMS texting. Finally I can retire my 8830. I love the way the keyboard is spread apart. Well worth the wait!

I totally agree. I had the 8830 as well and when I received the curve it was a total different ballgame. I had some points to get adjusted to but today is my one week of having and it and I love it.

Whats the deal with the Verizon curve and nationwide calling? Does anyone know the pricing yet cause i�m going to europe for a month and wanted to know if it would be cheaper if i just bought the curve and added the feature for a month or the nationwide calling plan w.e, or would it be cheaper another way? Also i heard that no matter what with a blackberry the monthly plan is a minimum of 40$ is this true?
Thanks
