Today, Sprint announced that it too would carry the latest update to the BlackBerry Curve family, the Curve 3G. The specs of the device are identical to the handset available on a plethora of other carriers — 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BlackBerry OS 5 , optical trackpad, BlackBerry 6 ready — but Sprint’s offering will be priced $20 higher than CDMA rival, Verizon Wireless, at $49.99 with a 2-year contract. The device will be available via Sprint’s direct sales channels on September 26th and via the remaining sales channels on October 10th.

      I’m going to upgrade @ full retail for this. Coming from an 8530, I’m going to love the huge number of enhancements set forth like 3G!!!! oh wait..

  • Chellykay88

    Sooo… How does this phone differ from the bb curve 8530 currently for sale on sprint?

    • MN

    Research in Motion doesn’t care about you. They only care about your bosses.

    should i get this or the 9650 bold?? the bold seems too heavy and i dont plan on being a heavy user, the only thing that bothers me is everyone says the curves have really really bad screens and i love to look at pics of my friends on my phone. do the pictures look really grainy ??

  • UrbanSimplist

    The Curve 9300 is the first 3G? wasn’t the Curve 8520/8530 3G?

    • UrbanSimplist

      NVM, It seems RIM+Verizon+Sprint felt the need to identify this Curve as 3G because they’re just now adding global 3G support for HSPA to it in addition to the 3G CDMA (EV-DO) that was already in the Curve 8530, and at a slower 3G EV-DO rate, the Curve 8330. But once again, the marketing of this on a CDMA network as “something new” makes no sense unless your an international traveler that missed having 3G data abroad.

    BOOO!! BLACK SAME OLD BERRY!

  • Chancellor

    And the world went on with its every day life, not even blinking an eye at the old and decaying/destine to follow Palm “black berry curve”.

  • Bugs

    Shouldn’t it be Maria’s picture on the phone?

  • Christopher

    what a 2.0mp camera in the year 2010. I am confused. 3.5 is common and a lot of companies are releasing 5.0 camera. WTF is 2.0
