Mmmmm... Pretty... Now I just hope that this is the real thing and not a good photo shop job. I like the silver but would prefer it in black or charcoal.
...
It only took them 18 months. WOW! I wonder if it'll actually come out before summer.... by then the new BB 9000 will be the best next thing.
...
This is a photoshop pic. The one verizon is getting is black.
...
have you seen it in black? The source from crackberry.com said she got it from someone in vzw marketing and they were using the pic to create marketing materials.
I thought it was going to be gunmetal grey.
...
I talked to the bb rep back in january at our kickoff meeting and he said the one they were testing was black. So maybe it's changed but I highly doubt they will go with the silver again. I also got to play with the glyde which is going to be sick! the touch interface is much better than the voyager.
...
sounds good...I guess we will just have to wait a few more weeks until vzw releases the official picks.
And the glyde looks pretty slick, but I don't know if im ready to give up my BB just yet ๐

...
The guys on hofo are saying it's silver with black sides, we shall see.
...
hmmmm...that could work, I just wish they would release the damn thing so we could buy it!
Quite frankly....im already geeked about the bb 9000, lol
...
looks like this picture was pretty accurate ๐...even though I wish it was black or dark grey.
...
Wow! Well maybe they will release it in another color like the 8830. I know the pearl is coming out in Bronze/Copper ๐ณ
...
that silver just looks dated...i wish they would have made the keys silver. I actually kind like the look of the 8830 with the silver front and chrome sides.
...
I feel you. I wanted a different color so bad. Oh well atleast now when know when it's coming.
...
true....i guess beggers can't be choosers, lol
...
yup once again verizon has the lame one ๐ฟ
...
atleast we're getting the damn thing! I just want a BB with a camera. I'd prefer black/dark grey, but silver will still work.

Gawd almighty woman, can you plaes take your crap someplace where you think people care about what you say?
...
Big girls don't cry, Beach. ๐

Hey Chris,
Are you going to jump over to the Curve in may?
...
I think so...Im eligible for my NE2 and since the BB 9000 wont be out on verizon till prolly sometime in 2009. I might as well get the curve. Im a little worried that the keyboard might be a little too small. But Im sure I will get used to it.
you gonna give this one a go? or are you still pretty happy with the pearl?
...
You really like the looks of the 9000? i dunno I think it's kinda ugly looking compared to the Curve.
...
Ugly? that might be a little much. I love it. Its sleek, the new OS looks pretty slick and I love the chrome accents. It reminds me more of the 8830 which I think is a much better looking phone vs the current curve (especially this vzw silver one).
I also like the keyboard without the space. The spaces are overrated and I think im actually a faster typer with little to no spaces.
...
I might go for the curve I like the full keyboard is my only draw to it. The pearl works great I use craigslist as you know all the time. I would be lost with out my BB.
You for sure won't have a problem with the Curve coming from the 8830 if youcan type on that you can for sure type on the curve.
I will check it out when it hits CC or the corp Store. I heard it is made kind of cheap feeling also?? Not sure on that though
...
yeah the build quality may be an issue, but I really miss having a camera on my phone. I didnt think I would really miss it that much, but its nice for those emergency shots.
...
The Curve that is coming out on Verizon, does it have any improvements relative to the Curve that is available through AT&T and T-Mobile?
...

It's CDMA.
...
Not especially...atleast that I can see.
It does have GPS, so that makes it more similar to the curve that is sold on att. I also read about streaming video capabilities--which could be an addition to the att curve thats out.
Other than those two things, I think its pretty much unchanged.
...
I can just see it now you're watching youtube to much, then they knock you down to 28.8 and send you a get the f out here letter! lol
...
lol..lets hope thats not the case!
...
Doesn't ATT's version run on EDGE? According to their website anyway. VZW and Sprints should run considerably faster right? ๐คจ
...
yeah the cdma should be a little bit faster due to the EVDO antenna
...
its 3g and is on the verizon wireless network
...
they almost have to go silver...cuz they know sprint will go black (the htc touch is the same way).
I like the dark color much more, I just wish they would have made the keys silver, instead of black.
Chris
...
really? so why can't there be two black curves the logo and the service differentiate the two..oh well still excited but I still prefer Black it looks so much better!
...
because color differentiates the most. When you see a silver curve, you will know for sure that it verizon...and Im guessin thats how they want it
same thing for the touch, 8830, and pearl
...
Now, I'm not saying you don't have a point, because quite possibly you do. That said, I have to point out the rather odd incongruity of a person sporting a mullet making any comments regarding style... ๐คฃ
...
yup Sprint has the best one! ๐
