what happen to all the talk about late march early april????????????

[chzbrg]

Why is verizon so slow to adopt new handsets from blackberry. It is so irritating that there is no news out there or even a sneak peek about whether or not the curve is coming to VZW. All i got to say is its a good thing there network is so strong, cause there handset offerings SUCK!!!! Always the last to get the newest tech.

chzbrg,

While I am the first to admit that I was really disapointed to hear they were not releasing until June I was pissed but I decided I would rather have the service to make a phone call on an older unit then a brand new shiny one that said "OUT OF SERVICE"

I like most others on hear check in a couple times a day to see if there's any new information,but until there is an official announcement that it will not be hear until june,my vz rep is still telling me soon,APRIL seems to be the understanding.

For what it is worth my VZ rep is telling me April - May. Time will tell.

That is an overrated argument. If you want to say I want a EVDO BB for tethering or Verizon works better in my area that makes sense. The network as a generalization is a tired statment.

That being said, I am eager for this to come out vs the timing of a HSDPA version, so I can find a BB that fits all my needs.

They are far from the slowest to get Devices. If you dont like there service there are others. Dont let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Well sitting down with a bunch of clients at a sales presentation I was the ONLY person that had signal. There were close to 45 people there. My local vzw sales rep loves me now

Don't get me wrong I yused to live in the SF Bay area where network did not mean squat unless you had Nextel then it did. Now in Northern MN coverage is king

My Business Account rep told me sometime June - July - August timeframe. Sounds like nobody knows when or if this phone will be out.

As someone else alluded to within this thread, I wonder what effect the incoming 9000 products will have on an eventual Curve.

New rebate forms just arrived and have the BlackBerry Curve 8330. These forms are for phones sold from 3/30/08 to 6/15/08, so it will be released shortly.

Demon, great to hear that it is on a rebate form. The other big question is how much VZW will want for this phone with a 2 year agreement?

[Sith_Apprentice]

$212000.95

[Chaseh140]

I long for the curve

[chris32111]

can any make a link to see the rebate i just spent 20mins on the website looking for the curve rebate!!!! help thank you

[Sith_Apprentice]

the rebates are not released yet, it is not 3/30

[ezrunner]

It will be 3:30 in 3 hours and 4 minutes

ooops wrong 3/30

I'm one of those guys who has been visiting this post 3 times a day for months now but never posted.

I finally broke down and called a local Verizon store today to order an 8830. She warned me stock was low because they are discontinuing that model (i think she may be confused here).

I asked why they were discontinuing it and she said because they are getting the curve soon and she confirmed they are running down their stock of 8830's. I asked if they were getting the curve in the next 30 days but she didn't seem to know anything and warned that it could be longer for all she knew.

I just found it very odd that they are not shipping 8830's right now. Would the curve replace the 8830? I can't imagine they would leave business users behind like that so there might be something more to it.

I'd be interested to see someone else feel out a local sales rep to see if they indicate the same thing i got. I really need a new phone and am sick of waiting!

Talked to my businsness VZW rep. She said it will be released no later in middle of April and it will have Rev. A EVDO. Take it with a grain of salt.
