Surprisingly enough, Sprint and Verizon have both announced today the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition smartphone.
Features include a 65k color (320 x 240 pixels) TFT display, 64 MB of RAM, microSD card slot, Qualcomm MSM6550 processor, built-in GPS, a full QWERTY keyboard and trackball navigation.
Verizon's BlackBerry 8830 will be available in May for $299.99 after a $100 rebate with a two-year customer agreement, while the more sleek looking one from Sprint will launch later in July. Pre-registration for Sprint's 8830 will begin tomorrow on their website.

If the sprint 8830 had a bulit in camera it would skyrocket it sales. Why doesn't it have a samera?
If this phone had a camera it would be the best blackberry out there. Along side the curve

THIS PHONE ONLY NEEDS A CAMERA! WHAT'S A CELLPHONE WITHOUT ONE THESE DAYS. WHY WASN'T THAT DONE? IT'S THE ONLY DOWNFALL TO THIS GREAT PHONE.
I LIKE PHONES SO I CAN CALL MY HOMEYS

This phone was desinged to be the primary phone for Govt employees and since you can't take a camera into Govt. buildings....they designed the phone around the law.
I like all the blackberry's ! I own a 8350i that is an outstanding phone in
the sense that not only has "direct connect", but also has a built in camera as well! At one point a blackberry 8830 was offered to me but I declined it because it had no camera. RIM needs to correct this problem if they ever want this model phone to succeed!
I had the chance to get this phone as a swapout from Nextel, but refused it.
this really do needed a camera it the only thing its lacking man.smt
nice mobile and i like it blackberry good battery timing
guys get me any phone for me i'll pay for that
I think it's true, some Organizations/Companies don't allowed people to carry their cellphones with camera. so I like to have one those without camera though i have others with camera too
This phone wld hv been the greatest blackberry ever,but it has no camara.i dislike it
I'm the only one in lebanon who have the black berry version 8830
