HowardForums: Your Mobile Phone Community & Resource - Official Curve Sell Date 9/22 No B.s.


Great news: Due to the excitement and demand for the BlackBerry Curve, Retail stores will start selling the Curve on Saturday, September 22, rather than Monday as originally planned.
The handsets have been delivered to stores and our customers want them, so why wait until Monday?
The BlackBerry Curve is the smallest QWERTY BlackBerry and is also the only BlackBerry with HotSpot @Home and Wi-Fi data connectivity. With T-Mobile HotSpot @Home, customers can place calls over their broadband connections at home. When they are not connected via Wi-Fi at home, they will enjoy the same great GSM service they have today through T-Mobile's network. BlackBerry Curve customers can get unlimited voice calling with the HotSpot @Home add-on feature from home or any US T-Mobile HotSpot locations.
This device is perfect for customers who want the newest and most technologically advanced full QWERTY BlackBerry.
Top Features
Wi-Fi and Mobile Calling
Effortlessly transition between Wi-Fi calling and T-Mobile's network while you talk. Get great coverage at home when used with a T-Mobile HotSpot @Home wireless router. Unlimited nationwide calls over Wi-Fi at home, or at any US T-Mobile HotSpot with the T-Mobile HotSpot @Home add-on feature. Please note: HotSpot @Home pricing will go up on October 3.
High Speed Internet
Whether you're near a Wi-Fi connection or on the T-Mobile network, you can quickly surf the Web and view pictures, documents, and other large attachments. With the optional Web Guard feature activated, certain Web sites are automatically filtered for safer browsing.
Personal and Work E-mail
Send and receive messages from your personal and work e-mail accounts.

Please note: Customers using a Blackberry 8320 (Curve), are on a call and attempting to transition from Wi-Fi or to Wi-Fi, and are in all geographic areas in the state of California with the exceptions of the Greater Los Angeles basin, Inland Empire, and San Diego county will be unable to hand-in or hand-out to Wi-Fi networks. This results in the following scenarios for customers in California when moving between Wi-Fi and GSM:
If you're on a call on GSM, you'll stay on GSM until you end the call.
If you are on a call on GSM and move into an area with no GSM, the call will drop.
If you're on a call on Wi-Fi and you move out of range of the WI-Fi network, the call will drop.
This is expected to be fixed on October 22.

Great. So it either came out on the 21st or the 24th, and now the 22nd.

Closing this one.
