First pics of CDMA BlackBerry Curve 8330 surface

We heard you poor souls loud and clear -- hoping, begging, praying for a CDMA Curve announcement during CES. Apparently, said device is on the way. According to non-blurry (gasp!) pictures over at BBGeeks, the CDMA Curve is rockin' a 8330 model number, integrated GPS, built-in camera and a temporary sticker on the back warning that what you're looking at is absolutely not for sale under any circumstances. Excited? You should be, now hit up the read link and take a peek.

Engadget really needs to have a sister thats strictly mobile phones and such. I'd call it EngadgetMobile

Seriously. Every time there's some sort of convention I can't read Engadget for two days.

Ummmm... OK... http://www.engadgetmobile.com

@Tony C - you might look up the definition of 'sarcasm'.....

[Tony C Posted Feb 11th 2008 1:45PM]

Gee. Thanks for that. You might want to read Ty's response, because I was replying to him.

Of course you were.

Your welcome.

@ Frank Furter

You should probably look up "verbal irony" and determine the difference between it and sarcasm. Note: the words "biting" and "harsh" serve extremely important roles in distinguishing the two.

@ Tony C

Even if you were replying to Ty's response, you still failed. Your reply doesn't make sense.

I probably wouldn't be fail-correcting Frank Furter had he not incorrectly identified Superevil's verbal irony.

no wifi, correct?

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 11th 2008 1:11PM]

About time. Now let's just hope this comes to Sprint.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 11th 2008 1:14PM]

hope? its not a matter of hoping it comes to sprint....its a matter of when. This will hit VZW, sprint, and probably alltel

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 11th 2008 1:15PM]

Seeing how bad Sprint is sucking it up, it would be wise for their new CEO to offer it first..

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 11th 2008 1:16PM]

Unless it has WiFi, no dice! Besides, Verizon will rip every quality feature from the phone as they have done in the past and are known for.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 11th 2008 2:42PM]

Yep, I can't wait to see this on Verizon. They'll "test" it for a year release it in 2010 with the GPS crippled out so you have to buy VZ Navigator.

I approve:
Of Superevil's comment.

when when when when?!?!?!?!
i am tired of this keyboard on my vzw pearl!

BOOOOOORRRRRING.....

81xx: SureType consumer device; camera-enabled
83xx: QWERTY consumer device; camera-enabled
88xx: QWERTY business device; no camera, GPS-enabled
xx00: GSM device
xx10: GSM device; step-sibling upgrade of xx00 (Pearl and Curve only)
xx20: GSM+Wi-Fi device
xx30: CDMA/EVDO+GSM device

So it looks like all this is gona offer over the current 8830 on VZW and sprint is a camera most likely not wifi so the verizon version will be crippled gps and a camera pretty much not an upgrade but just more verizon ballshavings add wifi theyll have a winner if not just a pile of stinky ballshavings

*yawn*

I'm a bored sprint subscriber. :(

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 12th 2008 5:31AM]

Well, I'm on Verizon and I'm stoked! I didn't want the Pearl and the other ones were too big or bulky. This is perfect for me.
