So, you're saying May 7 for Brightpoint, Thu May 8 for telesales, and in the (big) stores May 11?

Does anyone have a ball park figure on how much Sprint is asking for the Curve? I saw on the Best Buy website that they will be selling it for
$799.99 so, I'm really nervous about how much Sprint will be selling it for.

i am sure they raised the price until release day where it will come back down.

I notced the Sprint Blackberry Curve advertized on the Best Buy circular that was emailed to me directly from Best Buy today (5/4/08). It is priced at $199.00 for plans under $59.00 and $179.00 for plans over $59.00

Just received an email from our Sprint Rep stating that the 21st of May is our ship date.

Ok so I just spoke to a Brightpoint Rep and she said that, " Brightpoint is accepting pre-orders from Sprint so that they know how many to order. Sprint has NONE on hand as Brightpoint is the sole distributor so it seems to me that the 7th is un-realistic except for a picture and a pre-order on Sprint.com.... This is disapointing...

I was in the Sprint store today speaking with my contact. Five minutes after I left the BB Rep came in and told him that the launch date is May 7th for the 8330!
I will believe it when I see it, however this sounds like the real deal! THe question is ? Is this a web-launch on the 7th? Or an in -store launch?

The whole thing (Curve) is kind of losing its "charm" with me. I am a little tired of the whole gig!! I am sure I, and the rest of us, will be happy once it is our hands though!

Until Then !!

Cheers All,

Toep

Annnnnnnnd that was a joke.

I have a feeling that the 7th will be it. At midnight it will probably pop up on the website.

Just got off of the phone with my local store. They have not received any yet and have not heard when they will have them. They said it is possible Sprint would start sales on the web but no one from Sprint has given them any information. Figures!

tritan · #**432** 05-06-2008, 05:20 PM

check the web site tonight midnight chat on this fourm if you get it working.

If it does pop up on the website, is that only for new orders or can you upgrade online easily? I've only ever switched out phones in the store in person.....
