The delay is most likely due to quality assurance.

Some other factors you may want to take into account:
-Apr 1: RIM announces Curve added to Sprint's portfolio of RIM devices.
-Apr 15: RIM officially releases BES v4.1 SP5 (available for download on their website), which, among other things, adds server-side HTML email capability to the bb platform - OS 4.5 adds client-side HTML.
-May 1: Sprint PR reps confirm to folks @ engadget.com that Curve will be released on or prior to this date.
-May 13: opening of WES 2008 in Orlando, FL. RIM calles it "the biggest BlackBerry® conference of the year". This event is when RIM usually announces and releases new products.
-May 14: RIM @
WES 2008: Tracks & Sessions announces a special session to be held @ 4:15PM called: "Introducing Unified Application Management in BlackBerry Enterprise Server v5.0". This is supposed to be the big one improvement to go hand-in-hand with OS 4.5.
Is all this coincidence?
