Then you press 9 to agree. and VOILA!! curve in the mail. call 1800-922-0204 option 4 then option 4 again. simple as pie. BTW - why is there no consistency when speaking w/ VVZ reps - I mean, I doubt joshforde is being vague and ambiguous when ordering a curve, and i don't know some sort of secret handshake. Why, oh why can't we just get our darn blackberries. | o ok thanks im gonna try exactly that a lil later on i hope it works
and if it does ThankYOU  |

To quote master Yoda: "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” If you want to continue suffering at the hands of Sprint, then do so. I am a recovering Sprint user. it's been 3 years and I still get night sweats and irrational rantings. What I mean by "bite the bullet" is just spend a crap load of money, terminate your plan, sign up verizon, order your curve today, and enjoy. long after the sweet taste of saved money is gone the lingering bitterness of a sour deal remains.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com | Huh, do they knwo they are out the 9th of May... anyways....
I am really upset here is why.
Well no package for me, and just found out from Telesales rep....... They never ordered it 
I didn't even think on getting order number and tracking info. I called and *****ed but it did no good.
Who knows what to do now.... I hate when people lie to me.... especially when they take all my credit info and nothing, no pending orders so it;s not like it will show up the 9th or after.......
I called three times and pretty much same story, who device? it's not out yet, yada yada yada.....
Man I need a drink, all this info I provided and secured and I get the low ball. WTF?
Grrrrrrr
Thanks for letting me vent.....  |

| | May 9th!!!!
Just got off the phone w/ Verizon Rep. Had her enter the sku and everything but she still couldn't place the order until May 9th.
Pricing: $319.99 - $100(new every 2) -$100 for $29 data plan = $119.99. I'm on the confirmed May 9th callback list to confirm my order.

Same here. Just got off the phone (800 number) and had to coax the guy into trying the bb8330c sku and up it popped. He then says "Oh the Curve!" Duh! That is what I asked for in the first place. Anyway he said he could take the order now but it will sit in the system until the 9th. The system would not let him complete the order until then. Grr...

Noob here looking for help..
I am not currently eligible for the New Every 2 discount but only the annual discount. Do you have to be eligible for the new every 2 discount in order to be eligible for the $100 discount for the data plan?? In other words should i be paying...
$319.99 - $50 MIR = $269.99 or
$319.99 - $100 data plan discount - $50 MIR = $169.99
Might be a deal breaker for me. Thanks in advance.

so my persistence paid off! i thought i would go ahead and give it one final try, and low and behold the sales rep i got was cool as heck! gave her the info for the phone and Boom, sale made! just took a few minutes because her computer was "slow" she said. but money was taken from my bank account, should see it saturday she said if not monday at the latest! im so pumped, i thought it was just a myth to just call and order one, you just have to keep trying to find someone who is willing to help! i cant wait to get my hands on this!!! by the way, it was 439 for the phone.

So now if you call today (assuming they are still open and taking calls), you only get on a waiting list? Bummer...
So excited that I might be able to get it tomorrow.
