BlackBerry Curve now available through Sprint

by Chris Ziegler, posted May 9th 2008 at 1:15AM

Late's better than never -- usually, anyway -- and a rumored release date finally stuck long enough for the BlackBerry Curve 8330 to make an appearance on Sprint's online store. In fact, as "mid-May" goes, May 9 is actually on the early side of things if you want to get technical about it, so we guess some kudos are actually due here. Sprint's asking $179.99 on contract with rebates for the pleasure of indulging in its latest mobile productivity tool, which you'll ironically be using to respond to emails during meetings that you're supposed to be listening in on. Funny how the world works, isn't it?

Too bad no GSM (unless I don't know about it). I guess I'll wait for the 9000.

what? the curve has been out on GSM carriers for almost a year now.

and if you mean like the 8800, that doesn't operate on US GSM bands anyways.
