    curve has camera, other doesnt.

    curve is on At&t (among others as well) and specifically the World Edition is only offered in Verizon.

    Size of device and keyboards are different. Some like the WE's keyboard better some like the Curve's because the keys are seperate. Also the Curve has a 3.5mm earphone jack (which is the standard for audio devices) where as the WE has a 2.5mm jack.

    There are more differences to the devices out there.

    I think your friends are confused. Quick rundown:

    8830 WE for Sprint and Verizon (same style phone as 8800/8820 for At&t/T-Mobile

    -CDMA phone that includes EV-DO broadband service where available (US)
    -Also contains 900MHz and 1800Mhz GSM antennae so it will work in most of the world and use edge for data
    -Sim card slot is unlocked so when out of the country you can install your native carriers sim card, or a local country sim card for cheaper calling and data

    Curve for At&t (8300/8310) and T-Mobile (8320)
    - Quad band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) phone that will work in most of the world
    - Edge data speed
    - 2MP camera
    - Much nicer keyboard than 88XX series
    - 8320 from T-Mobile has UMA (WiFi calling)

    Clear as mud?

    Any info on when Sprint will get the Curve? I was planning on getting the 8830, but would like the camera, plus Verizon has a curve with GPS, which I also want.
