the naming they are using cannot be correct. 8310 is the ATT Curve 2 as its called. It has to be an error on their part. Seems like they are confusing the 8330 and 8130 to make 8310 maybe?

I agree. I don't believe it until I see it. It's good to dream though.

I've spoken to two store managers this week and both said "maybe the end of first quarter, most likely sometime in second quarter". One also said that Verizon would probably be releasing phones quicker since they're opening up their network to all outside devices. We'll see...

Yeah Dawg, but most rumors have a basis in fact. And two BlackBerry using VZW corporate store managers (from two different stores) saying the same thing isn't quit the same thing as the fish guy's sister that fornicates with a guy who's relatives have a friend that says...

I find store Managers will say anything to get a sale too. The RIM people I talked to said that VZW hasnt even decided yet as to carry it or not. As a matter of fact I will be at his house later today and I will ask again.

I agree with you about the store managers. I guess we'll see. Let us know what the RIM guy has to say.

Rumor mill on the Verizon forum on HoFo seems to heading back to the late Q1/early Q2 timeline that everyone was originally talking about.
Also, there's talk of a Sprint model that is in the final stages of testing.
All rumors and speculation, of course. Just thought I'd pass it along.

The only thing more excruciating than waiting for VZW to get the curve, was waiting for Nextel to get the 8700. 
I'm so glad I switched to VZW a year ago. If I were still with Nextel, i probably would have shot myself.
C'mon curve! |

If we are really looking at end of Q1 start of Q2 where are our spy shots???
Jibi, BGR, send out your VZW Ninjas and get us some photos...you guys are usually all over this stuff...
I like the Pearl 8130, but the key board is not as intuative as I was told. It is a nice go betweeen while waiting on the next device.
If VZW is listening and you guys want to skip the Curve, then just float us out a new 9000 series and we'll call it a day...

Now my questions hopefully is will this just be a full fledge cdma device? or hybrid like the 8830! If it is a hybrid, which it's still unclear, this would be great, since we need international bb support! (our company only has contracts with VZW)

I just talked to the VZW data specialist for my market and he said the Curve will be released in March sans wifi...but with GPS (likely locked to vznav only).
So...cross your fingers....
He's usually in the know though since he does that training for all data devices for all the stores in this area.
