The VP said they're going to start sending to the stores tomorrow,so we won't have them until the weekend but You should be able to order online 2morro but I suggest waiting until like Saturday or Friday that way you'll have it in your hands.

From what I have read, it is going to be the titanium. Red is coming up next month. I haven't heard of a black though.

Guess your area VP is wrong. I tried to order Curve this morning at 8:20 AM from Sprint Tele Sales. Same old response. Not available yet and no more information available. Meanwhile, my buddy's wife just sent me an e-mail that she ordered her Verizon Curve yesterday and where is mine? How humiliating. I wonder can I find a Curve "shell" like maybe on Ebay then I can at least pretend I have it.

But in MizzSprint's defense I saw an internal memo and an advertisement stating May 9th via all channels but we shall see.

The email was basically saying that today they were going to start shipping from the warehouse to the stores. My opinion is why order it through telesales, when you can go to the store this weekend and physically have it. If you order it tomorrow you'll probably have it Tuesday

MizzSprint, I think I've asked this before, but I just renewed my 2-yr. contract in Feb. Will I be able to sign up for another 2-yrs and get the discounted price or will I have to pay the full retail price?

Right now you get $75 off towards a new phone you get the full $150 in september. But maybe you can try to call customer service and get them to do something for you. I've seen it done before.
