[AC8330]

[John Yester]

there is some pictures been waiting for something, thanks for the update.

[briankeith513]

Wow, 4 more months? Is Verizon going to take this long as well?

[John Yester]

well it's hard to say, it could be two or 3 months to even see anything........ but I really hope verizon gets it first. would be the first time and not the last for them getting devices.......



I hope march.........

Are you sure I work for Sprint and I have heard nothing. I hope it is true!!

Can't Wait for the new curve

I don't want to be a "Negative Nancy", but I might have to call "shenanigans" on this information. This looks like an ATT Curve. I think so because of this obvious "EDGE" logo in the upper right hand corner of the device which we know is going to be ATT or TMO. I thought about this being a "1XEV" but it just doesn't seem to fit.

A clearer blowup from another site:


which is another thing...if you look at this image in image editing software you notice it was created on a BB Pearl 8130. We all know that's a 2MP cam. You mean to tell me that they can't get a clearer pic than this???

Shenanigans!!!!

p.s. If I am in fact amazingly wrong in my analysis of this info.........

It will have built in GPS, and as far as i have been told Verizon will get it after a 90 day period of sprint having it, their version will also not be gps enabled

I am having trouble believing that Sprint will get it before Verizon. History has not proven that.

What is your role/position at Sprint or at RIM? Or did you recieve your information from someone else?

[briankeith513]

Verizon's will have VZ Navigator Voice Activated Turn By Turn GPS, but I guess you forgot to mention that.

You are right, it is blurry around the part that would prove which network it was using(signal area). And yes, that is quite suspect.

[orle8050]

While, I do agree the coverage is blurry. I did recongize two icons on the device. Sprint Music Store and Sprint Navigation.

My question is will Sprint enable MMS(PictureMail) on the device?

[Byao87]

Can't Wait for the new curve

[orle8050]

It has the same OS 4.3 as the Pearl, of course a different verision number, and Sprint blocks it from working on the Peral. I appreciate you looking into it.

What is your position at Sprint or RIM though?

[AC8330]

The Icon that you see can you tell what row they are on.

[AC8330]

What color will it come in I was told BLK and silver.

[orle8050]

The Icon that you see can you tell what row they are on.

First row, second from end and second row first icon.

[AC8330]

thanks you right i notice the nav./music now. Do you think that it will come before Big RED (VW).

[orle8050]

I honestly don't believe Sprint will receive it before Verizon. I believe the 90 day rule is reverse. Verizon will have it 90 before Sprint. Unless, Sprint and Verizon has renegotiated their contract in 2008 with RIM. I can't back it up with facts yet but give me some time.

[orle8050]

Actually, looking back at Press Release as far back as 2003. Verizon has always been the first for a CDMA Blackberry device. I do believe the hold an 90 exclusive policy with RIM. Sprint has been second to release the same CDMA device.

So unless, RIM revisited their long standing contract with Verizon. Verizon will get the device for 90 days first.

If someone knows and can support facts that this is not the case, I am really open to new accurate information.

[Byao87]

the first color will be titanium the second color will be red, I work in Sales and Distribution, I have Direct Contacts with the Blackberry Side on the Handset Development Team.

Yep, as far as I recall VZW has always preceeded Sprint in release of CDMA BBs. Not so sure bout the 90 day exclusive tho... such could not have been the case with the Pearl 8130, don't remember off hand but didn't the Sprint 8130 follow the VZW Nov 3rd 8130 launch by ~30 days?

You are right. It was like a 3 week difference. Sprint release their on Black Tuesday.

That slipped my mind.

There is no black in the lineup
