The Press Release states: BlackBerry(R) 8830 World Edition smartphone - equipped with international voice and data roaming capabilities offered by Sprint, as well as an unlocked SIM card slot for voice and data services.
so basically anyone could buy it, and use it on a GSM carrier.
Actually GPDRUMMR you are talking about an entirely different phone. The Curve is 83**, you are talking about the duel CDMA/GSM 88**, the Blackberry World Phone. If that had been the case Sprint and Verizon would have had the Curve long ago. There are major differences with the World Phone and the Curve.

Wow I really do like this new color, although as to how much longer I'll have the Curve is up in the air (what with its memory problems).
That would be cool though if the case were to become available and compatible with the GSM Curve.

Are you talking about the media files wanting memory and deleting mail and calendar events with reckless abandon or something else? At least RIM offers a workaround with the media file memory...http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/dynamickc.do?externalId=KB12383&sliceId=SAL_Public&command=show&forward=nonthreadedKC&kcId=KB12383
