Just chatted with customer rep at sprint online and she said sprint will not be carrying bold at all. ????

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath.
If Sprint gets it at all, I would say it won't be until late 09/early 2010. At least.

Who cares about the BOLD, you should have asked about the STORM.

Sprint is always the last to release a phone, worse case just buy an unlocked Bold from VZW since VZW and Sprint share the same CDMA network

There's a posting on my local craig's list for a few unlocked VZW Bold. At the risk of sounding silly, can you explain how we can make this work on our Sprint network?

mbizzle · #8 10-30-2008, 08:40 AM

Um not to be a ****...... VZW does not have an unlocked bold and if you were refering to an unlocked At&t BOLD you would not be able to activate it on sprint do to the network.

Thanks mbizzle. So bottom line is there's no way for the AT & T Bold to be used on the Sprint network? Either Sprint customers change carriers if they want the Bold or hold out hope that someday Sprint actually gets the new BB?

There has been talk of a cdma "bold like" phone coming. I have sprint and it works fine for my needs with my 8830.

What have the rumors been about a "bold like" phone for sprint? Also...didnt I read somthing about a merger with timewarner and others to build a 4G network?????

I would hope the next Blackberry Sprint gets is the Javelin. I just got my Curve in August so I won't be needing to upgrade for a long time, but that would be the next one I'm interested in.

I would love the javelin at sprint

The 4G network was released in my hometown a few days ago, Baltimore.

Its on their website under Announcements I believe.

The Curve 8900 is the "Javelin". The "Niagara" is an upgrade to the 8830 from what I hear.
