The Voyager is a Verizon Exclisive. the 5800, Pearl and others were on Sprint first. I no Sprint Fan boy, I have Verizon, I just am not a fan of their lackadaisical attitude towards updating phones.]]>May 6th 2008 6:32PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 6th 2008 5:40PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/
- Secondary lines (both new and upgrade) receive a $50 data credit.

- Annual upgrade does not receive a data credit.

Hope this helps!]]>May 6th 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 7th 2008 3:50PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=3745&changingCompletedOrder=]]>May 6th 2008 5:58PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 6th 2008 7:45PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/-$319 for the phone

- A sad Sprint customer...]]>May 6th 2008 8:57PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 7th 2008 2:18AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/
If you're going to stick with Vzw, stick with the Curve. It does what its supposed to do very very well. ]]>May 7th 2008 8:05AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 7th 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/
if you NEED everything NOW, go blackberry. if you WANT everything, but don't mind waiting a little bit, then go with something else.


the best advice is to pick something that fits your needs now, and has the features you'll want going forward. if you keep waiting for "the next best thing", you'll wait forever.]]>May 9th 2008 5:58AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/
Curve has a 2 megapixel camera
World has the ability to work in other countries.

Is that literally the only difference?]]>May 7th 2008 2:25PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/
I've seen the specs and -really- they're very similar otherwise.]]>May 7th 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 7th 2008 4:30PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 7th 2008 7:41PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 9th 2008 5:37AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/
however, also keep in mind that you actually get SERVICE and SIGNAL with Verizon. By "service" I mean that VZW doesn't "fire" their customers because they call too much. And by "signal", I'll give an example:: My ex g/f has Sprint now and, the one time I had to call her, we talked maybe 30 seconds before her signal died. It took 15 minutes before she was in an area that had signal. This was in Tracy, CA, which is not exactly some podunk town in the middle of nowhere.]]>May 9th 2008 5:46AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 7th 2008 9:31PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 8th 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/
Sprint markets their "Simply Everything" plan as "everything you could want." I wonder if that comes with also being told everything you want to hear??]]>May 9th 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 8th 2008 2:20PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 13th 2008 3:07PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/06/blackberry-curve-now-available-on-verizon/May 17th 2008 11:13AM
