🤤 JUST LEFT THE SPRINT STORE IN NORTH BERGEN NJ, THE PHONES ARE IN THE STORE BUT NOT TO BE SOLD UNTIL TOMORROW DUE TO INVENTORY STOCKING AS PER THE MANAGER. SO ALL THESE RUMORS OF SPEAKING TO REPS AND SO ON CAN STOP. THE MANAGER DID SAY THAT SOME STATES AND CITIES GET THEM BEFORE OTHERS!!! I WILL BE THERE FIRST THING AT 10:00AM TO GET MINE, GOOD LUCK GUYS

YAY! Hope VA is one of the states that will get it within the next few days!!! Did they have the silver/titanium & the black? I really want to wait until the red one comes out, but I'll get the black instead . . .

I just called my friend who works at a Sprint store and he stated that no inventory has arrived as of yet. His store is getting bombarded with calls and people showing up wanting the device. Also Sprint's policy is usually to release a new device online first followed by releasing the device in stores usually the following Sunday. If this holds true than April 20th is sure looking good.

Yes, I just chatted w/the Rep from Sprint and she told me to go to SPRINT.COM and click on the "About Us" link and then "New Releases" and for the 04/01/08 link on that page, it's about 11 paragraphs down . . .so hopefully, this is it, guys & gals! April 20th! and the pricing looks like it's gonna be $179.99 w/a 2-yr. contract agreement, the Rep said that's for existing customers also, but I've never been able to get the lower rates for the new phones whether I signed up for a new contract or not, so, I calculate $449.99 if you look at the price info listed in the communication . . .Good luck fello Curve awaiters! LOL!

Price for current Sprint customers who are not in their two year upgrade window will be $599.99 OUCH 🤭 ). If you are within your one year window ($75.00 credit) $374.99 minus $100.00 rebate = $274.99 and if you qualify the two year renewal ($150.00 credit) $279.99 minus $100.00 rebate final price $179.99.

As soon as you get it please post online. Take a couple of pictures so we can see it. I am very weary that they will actually be available until Sunday. 🤤

Yes Im Very Lucky, im just wondering what would be different from the pearl to the curve!

Not sure . . .never had the Pearl, but what kept me from getting it is the keyboard . . .I like the fact that each letter has it's own keyboard . . .guess the Mogul has spoiled me in that way, but I just don't like the clunkiness of the Mogul . . .

Yes i Know. the Curve is just a beauty, nice and slim! I love it can't wait to get my hand on it. No Patience what so ever...

Me either! I will miss the touch-screen function, but it won't be long before I get over it! LOL! I can't wait to get the Curve, as I said before, I was going to leave Sprint to go to AT&T just for the curve, but I'm glad I waited b/c I love Sprint's coverage & plans & the rates for those things . . .plus, Sprint is getting the "newer" version of the Curve! 😁

So that means straight out the box with video. It's going to be great to text with one hand while driving. With the mogual you need both hands because it's so heavy and your thumb doesn't reach the other side of the keyboard.

I just went to a Sprint store and they told me that it was coming out on the 27th of the month. Who the hell do I believe lol?

There isn't a definite date yet but it definitely wont be on the 20th. That's coming from a sprint rep. When its on sprint.com then it will be available to all. That is from telesales' month.

I have the Curve through at&t and I love it. Can't wait until this phone comes out with Sprint so I can get it and use the GPS. That's my only complaint about the 8300 I have now.

I'm going to call the North Bergen store, and confirm because they said they Curve was going to launch at a later date.

Called the North Bergen store they DO NOT have the Curve. To the guy that posted this. That was so not cool, you have anxious people here waiting to get their hands on one and you post up without proof very nice! 👿

I know that is right . . .even though I'm in VA, that was not very nice. I chatted w/a Rep yesterday from Sprint, she said it was being released in the retail stores, telesales and online April 20th. Not sure if that has changed since yesterday evening, though.

That's why you cannot trust everyone on here, they like to start something just to see the chain reaction.

Not cool not cool to get people all worked up! I like my ATT curve the best phone Ive had to date. Now Im waiting for the next generation.

Ok, so I called Sprint and now they're saying May 15th. I'm seriously just going to get an ATT BB if this switching keeps up if the Simply Everything Plan expires before then.

would you consider getting the simply everything plan now & then you'll already have it once the curve ever comes out w/sprint?
...

Honestly, I was looking at the Pearl and I see that the only difference is the keyboard. If it is released after the plan expires, then I'll get a Pearl. I would just have to get used to the keyboard setup.

Oh a VZW Sales Rep told me that the Verizon Curve is coming out on May 1st. In case anyone wants to know.
