Wait, maybe I'm late, but, are you saying that the Sprint Curve won't be able to send regular mms? Is this the case for all Sprint blackberries?

[southwestcomm]

Correct. Sprint doesn't support the Picture Mail feature on BB's

[Sith_Apprentice]

they do on the 8130s

I was just told by 2 Sprint reps that the 8130 from Sprint doesn't support mms.

[Sith_Apprentice]

it supports PictureMail. Sprint doesnt use MMS, they have PictureMail

What is that? Can you send a picture from the phone to another person's phone number like you can with mms? And it's interesting, from Sprint's website, it doesn't list Picture Mail as a feature for the 8130, as it does with regular cell phones.

[Sith_Apprentice]

from my experience with it, the receiver gets a link to the picturemail website. it isnt a standard MMS, closer to an email with a picture attached, but its sprint's version of MMS

[applerokr]

so the curve will send picture mail natively?

[Sith_Apprentice]

no idea on that, the 8130 however will do it.

Well done! The other docs, nurses and er folks got a kick out of it too.

Now only if Sprint would release it earlier than the 20th I'd have a case of Scurve.

I just noticed this about the Sprint Curve:

"MicroSD/SDHC Expansion Slot: Add memory for larger work files – presentations, reports, documents or transfer music, photos, and video from your desktop, or load additional games and applications. Comes with a pre-installed 1GB card. Cards up to 8GB supported; sold separately."

Is the supply of a 1GB card normal?

[Sith_Apprentice]

no, sprint normally includes smaller cards. The inclusion of a card that large is new. Its nice to see though.

Hell, I'll never fill that up even with the med programs I have on the Treo. Maybe I'll be able to get some additional protocols on the thing.

Come on April 20th

[Sith_Apprentice]

well unless the med program runs in device memory but stores data to the media card, you wont see any benefit for the program itself. blackberry programs are installed to device memory.

Based on the info from their site, it looks like the curve will have the ability to send a picture phone to phone instead of being forced to use e-mail or an alternative means like sending a text to the

BlackBerry - BlackBerry Curve 8330 smartphone

SMS and MMS*: Send text messages and images in an instant

Talked to a reliable Sprint rep today and was told the Sprint Curve 8330 would be released on April 14th!!
