    I am looking for instruction of how I can reprogram a gsm blackberry curve 8520 to work with the sprint network. I have already unlocked the phone, just looking to get instructions on how to get it up and running with my existing sprint account. Thanks a bunch!!!

    Can't be done. One is a GSM network, the other CDMA. They operate on different principles, and are simply incompatible.

    You could try selling it and get a Sprint 8530... how's that?

    They're two different technologies.

    The radios are different. It is impossible to modify a GSM radio to use a CDMA network.

    You can only use the 8520 on GSM networks like AT&T and T-Mobile. Sprint is a CDMA network, the 8520 will not work on Sprint.
