BlackBerry Curve 8330
Good news for VZW customers!
Per HOFO:
"The VZW Curve will be released on Friday, May 9 through Direct Fulfillment (CS, telesales, online) and on Monday, May 12 in retail stores.
Price: $319.99 2 yr (+ $50 MIR); $389.99 1 yr (+ $50 MIR); $439.99 full retail.
So basically, if you qualify for a $100 NE2 discount, you're looking at a Curve for $169.99. Not a bad deal at all.
Source: I work for VZW.
These dates could change, of course, as I'm not sure if this has been officially announced. My dates come from a PDF on the internal website."
The May 5 rumor that was floating around for a while is when the retail stores get their launch kits.

Turns out the Glyde's gonna have to share the spotlight a bit when it launches early next month. The Curve 8330 has been confirmed by our sources for a May 9 release through Verizon's B2B, web, and telesales channels, followed by a May 12 launch in "all channels" (which we assume means you'll be able to walk into any old store and grab one). It'll go for $319.99 before $50 rebate on a two-year contract, ranging all the way up to $439.99 if you have no interest in signing your name on the dotted line. 'Course, Sprint told...

What is a NE2 discount?
My firm gets a corporate rate etc, but I have a separate web site to shop at, will the price and mail in rebate be any different?

If you order online Friday, but it is in stores by Monday. You would get it quicker just by going to the store on Monday. But, if for any reason your store sells out, then it would have been better to order it.
