What's that little hole under the camera? I may have to get this instead of the 8130 if it's not a whole lot bigger.

Yep, looks like a curve (the ugly version). So will we see this from Verizon or Sprint first?
(lakersin2025, that is the mirror under the camera)

i agree... when is the release date? is Phonearena's april 30th correct? Some how Verizon made this look SEXY!

Finally. I can't say I like the color, though. I prefer the dark gray one that we saw for Sprint and Alltell, but oh well. I think I'm getting the Touch anyway.

Verizon is releasing this phone on May 5th :)
Keith @ Apr 22nd 2008 6:25PM
Do these have wifi?
LuÇah76 @ Apr 22nd 2008 7:24PM
Some simple specs: No Wi-Fi, 96mb internal memory (a bump up from the normal 64, probably due to CDMA protocols), Not a world phone, supposedly the OS can handle an 8GB memory card, 3.5mm audio jack, 2mp Camera...normal BB stuff. And if you notice the face plate is different than other Curves so you might have issues with some existing protection options.

mid-may
arguing over wich OS to launch, it's gonna launch with the middle of the road OS(the one the pearl currently uses). instead of the new OS that verizon wanted to be the first to launch on this device....just wait til the fall for the new OS and the new BB for verizon.
vdubbed81 @ Apr 23rd 2008 1:13AM
New BB and OS? Are you refering to the 9000 series BB and the new OS that has been spotted on that phone? VZW will have it in the fall?
VZWguy @ Apr 22nd 2008 10:15PM
it is larger because of the OS issue I discussed, it does take 8 gig cards, and yes the face plate is different.

whether this phone ever came with wifi or not it would never even matter since RIM expects all BlackBerrys to be paying for the data plans either way. I mean I can understand the use for it when you can get higher speeds with a wifi connection but still RIM ask all carriers to pay for Data so I really don't see the point for it if I have to pay it which isn't a problem for me but I think its silly. Im sure even this topic has been spoken before on any wifi capable device for RIM but it is a gorgeous device though. The Sprint color is better and cooler looking which is the only huge difference. Still love the Network though.

GPS will be crippled I'm sure
cosmic_charlie @ May 1st 2008 1:05AM
VZWguy thanks for the updates....
MY questions:
1)Should I wait till fall for a proper O/S?
2)Will I be able to download a software OS update this fall to the BB Curve device I plan on getting this month so it performs as the company would like?
Thanks

How accurate is this release date of May 5th? I am looking to buy this BB but have no patients, and hate waiting.
Thanks

Zack Duchene @ May 4th 2008 1:33PM
link is broken...is there another?
TIMMYLANG @ May 5th 2008 2:51AM
That's weird. It was up on the site last night and now the link is broken. Anyways, It listed for $319.99 with a $50 rebate on a 2yr contract. I am sure that it will be available sometime this week. Keep checking the website.
