Speculated releases for upcoming Sprint Blackberries

[pete6032]

Using the 2011 Blackberry road map article and other recent Crackberry posts, lets see if we can get a decent reference post made with the most up-to-date info about release dates for upcoming Sprint Blackberries and their specs.

If you have something to add, post a reply and I can update the thread.

LATEST UPDATE 8-11-11

Sprint's latest news release confirms that the Torch 9850 will be coming August 21st. The Bold 9930 will probably be released then as well.

There have been a few questions on the forums about whether or not there will be a slider format Blackberry released on Sprint. The only slider being released this generation will be an AT&T device.

Blackberry Bold 9930 (Montana) - Aug 21, 2011
Phone Specs (Phonearena)
Global GSM roaming capable
BB OS 7

Blackberry Curve 9350 (Sedona) September 9, 2011 (Purple Curve 9350 - October 2, 2011)

Blackberry Torch 9850 IE Storm 3 (Monaco) - Aug 21, 2011 (White Torch 9850 - October 1, 2011)
Phone Specs (Phonearena)
Global GSM roaming capable
BB OS 7
$149 on contract, $449 off contract
This is not a QWERTY slider. Even though the phone currently shares the Torch name, it will be a full touch screen phone. Not to be confused with the Torch 9810, a QWERTY slider being released on AT&T.

Blackberry Curve Touch (Malibu) - Q4 2011 or Q1 2012
New to the Blackberry lineup, the Curve Touch will be an entry level touch screen phone.

Holding my breath for the Bold.
COME OUT ALREADY.

Yea, I can't wait either. I would love the phone now, but on the bright side this gives me time to save my pennies up to pay for it. With no upgrade available, this will be a heck of a commitment

RIM is still 5 steps behind.

I think the curve is speculated earlier then that.

I'm hoping the Curve will be out sooner than November. I might have to switch to Sprint soon and I really want the new Curve right away, instead of getting another phone then having to wait before I can get that one.

why the curve and not the bold kim?

[pete6032]

Updated Curve release date to Sept 9.

I usually like the keyboard style in the Curves. I have looked at a few videos of the Bold so I might give it a chance, especially if the release date is coming up.

But there is also a Torch 2 that is a slider, right?

I can't wait till the torch comes out! It's about time sprint gets a full touch screen blackberry. How many of you want the torch?

No Torch 2 slider so far. Sprint is getting the 9850 full touch bb, no physical keyboard that is

Kinda excited about the 9930 release...
