Verizon Finally Releases 8330 Curve… A Year Too Late
May 8th, 2008 by Ronen Halevy
You can pick up the new 8330 CDMA Curve from Verizon Wireless for $219 after a 2 year contract and $100 online discount at this link. Supposedly there is also another $50 rebate you get somehow.
Sadly I find it very hard to get excited about a year old device that is finally making its way to the CDMA world. If your stuck with Verizon then I can highly recommend the Curve as a solid device. The only question I have is why it took so long…
Now we only need to wait until 2010 for the 9000 series to come to CDMA carriers

Plus doesn’t Verizon lock their devices’ features to high heck?

@Nikolaus:
No doubt the GPS will be locked to only work with their VZNavigator software (extra $10/month). But other than that it should be feature complete.

BoyGenius is reporting the Sprint Curve will be available for shipping tomorrow too.

FWIW, I think the Sprint Curve looks better than the Verizon Curve. Oh, and the Sprint version will likely have unrestricted GPS (like all their other BB’s).

I had been a VZW customer for years but dropped them last year because I got tired of their antiquated lineup. I simply couldn’t stand using a Treo 700w (or rather WinMo 5) a day longer and wanted a BlackBerry so I switched carriers. Granted, Verizon’s gotten better with their selection lately, but yeah, they’re just now getting the Curve, so what’s that say?
