Verizon Wireless Announces BlackBerry 8330 Curve… For MAY!!!
I always love when carriers just shoot themselves in the foot. Verizon announced today that they will release the 8330 in… wait for it… May. Talk about seriously dangling the proverbial carrot. All the other carriers have had the Curve for months! Oh an by the way WES is in… May.
The only two features that look interesting at all are the:
- MicroSD(TM)/SDHC memory card slot, providing plenty of additional storage (up to 8 GB)
- HTML web browser delivers a fast, rich browsing experience and supports streaming video from sites like m.youtube.com (3GPP RTSP streaming protocol over EV-DO)
That has to be the first direct mention of YouTube support I have seen from a RIM press release. Also the MicroSDHC capacity is topped out in this device at 8GB? Why?
Just to pour salt on this May release you will get a kick out of all of the legal language they had to add because of the future release announcement. They even warn that potential acts of terrorism may cause the Curve to be delayed further…
