Sprint launches BlackBerry Curve 8330

Will it have Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint on it?

this fone is crap..this is my 11th one n its not even calling...im jus sayin dis so u dnt waste ure money but i dnt care because my dad is extremely rich his the president of lg

this phone rocks I just got mine and its the phone of all phones

hey edge ur da being rich is no reason for u not being able to type proper englisg lol nd if ur dad is the president of lg y are u getting a blackberry lol

oops dad lol but hey my dad isn't the president of lg lol

BlackBerry look out. Here come.

Hey maybe she is an advanced five year old playing with phones. Lol. Rich dad poor education something doesnt add up.

I just ordered mine through Sprint. They said I could keep my original plan with them and just get the blackberry and for $30 add unlimited web & messaging, which includes everything except GPS. Does anyone else have sprint? Are you doing something like what I am? If so, are you happy with all the features?

i want a blackberry

this going out to "edge"...if your rich and your dad's the president of LG...wouldn't you have a LG phone?

I love how 1 person writes something stupid, and 10 people afterward get all upset and post back...I love the internet

I have mine through Sprint, with the Blackberry plan that does not include Sprint navigation unless you purchase it, but if you go to www.crackberry.com you can find out how to get google mobile app, which includes driving directions, for free.

Sprint has a deal where you can get all services forh for only $99!

lol. its probably because LG is korean, thus, the bad english.
anyways the curve any good? or should i be looking at the bold? :\

I think the sprint one looks way more professional.That is the only good thing about sprint,lol.I tested it in the store a while ago and the only bad thing about it was the ball in the middle.It gets annoying sometimes.Before you buy it I would test it out to make sure the scroll-ball is OK with you.I am not to fond of it, but I am still going to get it November 1st.

"Apple 1" just made my day lol. anyway i hate this phone. i had it for at&t and it was crap. i got the blackjack ii instead and i love it. i had the blackberry curve for around 2 months and i begged at&t to switch it for the blackjack ii and ive had my blackjack for about 5 months and i love it! its so much faster, easier, and way more fun! The blackberry is a business/boring phone, and the blackjack ii is a fun/entertaining/business phone. thanks for reading :]

I think the blackberry curve is a great phone but one bad thing you can send picture mail without getting a the person e-mail address that totally sucks. i have the red and it only been 3weeks and i realize i can sent pics so i call sprint they told me that i have to get each carrier e-mail example T-mobile # then tmomail.com then i can send a picture so i am going to change for the Samsung Insinct

I GOT A BLACKBERRY PEARL AND I LOVE, IM GOIN 2 GET THA CURVE IN A MINUTE LOOKS HOT.

dear Unrealbabe how much do you want for your black berry

i have the black berry and i love it

i bet that edge have no knowledge of the curve. Or he is simply lying because he has no life.

I am a blackberry dealer. They are great devices, but they have problems just like any other phone. There is no good cell phone. They all break down just as much as the other mostly. Blackberry's are great though. I have a curve myself and it's great. The Blackberry maps function is awesome. As well the push e-mail function is handy as well. The blackberry messenger is great. As well the option to pin message is great!

Sprint service, both customer and cell service, SUCKS. I do not recomment Sprint to anyone. But, like most everyone else who commented, I do love the BlackBerry device. This phone is amazing. And yes, Apple1, I love how 10 people get mad xD! And I have no idea why answering 2+3 is required... probably so computers can't write random messages here... Okay. That's all I have to say :) Thank you for reading!

I heard sprint is gettin mms ??? fiction r non

im getting that blackberry soon...i like the color n the features hope _others_ like it... :)

SPRINT IS HORRABLE THE SERVICE SUCKS DONT WASTE UR TIME!!!!!!!

I want one, I'm getting one for christmas I'm so excited

i'm about to get the blackberry curve on monday but now im having second thoughts cuz of what Unrealbabe said about it not sending pics without a email address does that mean you can't send picture mail to people phones?

In response to B-more girl. This phone is perefect but has one downfall. You do have to send all pic mail through email. It sucks but it still is a great phone and if you can get all your friends to get one then you can send pic to their phone if you know their blackberrys PIN. Note only blackberrys will have a PIN # so they would have to have one for it to work

i have the instinct and i wonder if i should change to the blackberry curve. the instinct freezes to much samsung is nne for feezing right bal pliz i need help choosing wat to do

Yeah, my dad got the instinct, and it is a little choppy when you go through the menus.

I agree Apple1

You know, I just got my BlackBerry curve through Sprint about 2 weeks ago. I got the Titanium one for myself and the Red for my wife. I've been researching the whole picture mail situation and I've found that it IS true; you DO have to send pics to a "special email address" in order for your recipient to receive them to their phone. For example, to send picture mail to another Sprint phone it would be phone# (1234567890)@pm.sprint.com. Each provider has it's own email address! That part of the pic msging is a little annoying but it's really not a big deal (not serious enough to get a new phone over, LOL)! Other than that it's honestly the best phone I've had. My wife and I love these things, internet, GPS, maps, agendas, applications (even e-books can be downloaded on it). We are very content with these BlackBerries. We recommend them anyone needing a phone with these types of capabilities. Oh and we got he "Everything family shared data plan" (ulmtd data, GPS, pic msg, txt msg, etc.).

should i buy a blackberry curve or should i
put my money on another phone coz i want something with
a keyboard on it.

Big Rob Thanks for the input because I have been trying to figure out the picture mail thing. The only downfall that I see with this phone. I am talking with www.crackberry.com forum for some answers, but yours was good. It is a pain if you don't know the number by heart becasue you cannot go into the address book to get the number and other providers cell email types are unknown. We have 4 8330 Titanium phones and 6 Hybrids which are Nextel / Sprint service with Direct Connect and our plans are all unlimited; all on a business account, I wish they would have made one of these with two way and two way service with Sprint service not Nextel,but my Nextel BB 7110 isn't anywhere as good as this phone. We love them except for the picture thing.

ive had sprint for over 8 years and ive never had any probs with them,plans and pricing are good and never lose signal. i however recently purchase the blackberry curve and i dont like it,cant send pics and the web on it sucks so i will be switching to the instinct.

Brendagt64__ don't get the instinct that is crap i just switched from the instinct because it freezes up all the time.

No problem BOSSCo Owner, remember you can always copy past: go into the contact and once you see the contact info hit the menu key, go to "select" and click the trackball. everything you scroll over will end up being highlightedwhen you have the # highlighted you click the trackball again and hit "copy". After that you can actually paste on any app that allows you to write (inluding the "to" feild in the send as email option). You can paste by clicking the trackball and choosing "paste" wherever it is that you would like to place the segment. And you're absolutely right the phones are fantastic. Like I said before, they really are the best phones we've had.

Big_Rob your input really helped because i have been wondering about to bb mms messaging. but i have a question that hopefully uou can answer you said, "to send picture mail to another Sprint phone it would be phone# (1234567890)@pm.sprint.com". does that mean you can only send pitures to people with sprint? or is there a seperate email for other carriers? or do you just use the same one for all carriers? thanks.

Brendagt64, if you hate the orginial web browser, just download Opera Mini http://www.operamini.com/download/wap/blackberry/blackberry_8300_curve/ or another web browser for it. In opera you can scroll using keys instead of the ball, HUGE + in my book!

I've had the BB Curve for 3 days now and am VERY annoyed about the whole picture sending thing....you would think that is now industry standard....I talked to Sprint and one person told me 'they' are working on it..the MMS part....another person told me the new BB phones that are due out on Jan.11th will have the basic capabillities of sending pics like every other phone in the world that is NOT on the Sprint network. I'm returning mine....Sprint, get up to par or get outta way!!!!!!! Lets be sure, this is ONLY a SPRINT issue with the Blackberries.

i think the phone is a decent phone.
the only problem is that it is extremly
confusing in the begining, but you do eventually
get used to it. also, you cant send picture messages
for somee reason i dont know why?! but other than
that the phone is very nice, and its great for
almost anyone. (: enjoy!

UGH! i am so angry with this phone and sprint!
i begged and begged my dad to get me picture
mail/pictue texting and he finally got it then
he also baught me the curve and i cant even send
any picture mail. SPRINT IS HORRIBLE! i do not
recomend! buttt.... the phone is not that bad,
its auctually pretty nice, with eceptions.

Hey "nicoooleey" sorry it took me so long to answer. You're absolutely right, each provider has it's own "email" where to send the pic msgs:

same format always 1+#@ (1234567890@email.com):

Alltel : 1234567890@message.alltel.com
AT&T : 1234567890@mms.att.net
Boost Mobile : 1234567890@myboostmobile.com
Nextel : 1234567890@messaging.nextel.com
Sprint : 1234567890@pm.sprint.com
T-mobile : 1234567890@tmomail.net
US Cellular : 1234567890@mms.uscc.net
Verizon : 1234567890@vznwpix.com
Virgin Mobile: 1234567890@vmobl.com
Helio : 1234567890@myhelio.com

Now I've been having some problems recently with AT&T lately when sending with this method I usually get a message back from cingular stating that it's the wrong email and I've tried to send it to the same cingular email with the valid phone # but it hasn't worked either. Don't really know what the deal is but you can always try to "play around" with the format a little; e.i. try not using the "1" or something like that. Anyway, good luck to you all. Let me know with any other probs that I can help with.

its a great phone but i dnt know how to send pic mail to cricket users does anyone know how to do it?

I just got the Curve for Sprint a week ago and have been trying since last night to do send pictures using the carrier addresses. mms.att.net has not been working at all but sending it to a pm.sprint.com has worked. I even tried sending it with the txt.att.net and all the receiver got was the text part, no picture. This is the most annoying thing with the phone. I've been a Sprint customer since 2000 and have loved them. But this is ridiculous! I want to send and receive pictures like I have been in the past! Get w/ the program Mr. CEO of Sprint. This is obviously a big deal to your customers.

Blackberry curve is great

I hate the Blackberry curve. I just got it and the keys don't work.

I am VERY UNHAPPY with the BB 8330s' inability to send Pics via TXT MSG! Makes me want to use the 30 day money back guarantee! This reminds me of the problems I had in the 90's with nextel. Damn them.

When I try sending pic thru email i get this message no message services configured, you will only be able to save draft

To send picture mail to att its (123)456-7869@mmode.com

OMG !!! i want a blckberry curve so bad.

Sprint Sucks!!!!!!!!! I wish I could return my phone. . . I have the red 8330. The Sprint representative said that this phone would support all of my previous account features i.e. picture mail, text, internet, ect. She lied!!!!! OMG!

Yea Sprint needs to step it up and get the MMS working already.. They are probably the only carrier that doesnt have it.. I guess you get what you pay for.. The Curve is an awesome phone tho.

Jus get the instinct.....its wayyy btr

It's not sprint you dummies who doesnt support MMS picture texting, its the Blackberry Curv's innability to do it. Get the Curve with anyother network and you have same problem, so try educating yourself before blaming spritn and saying they suck. However, Blackberry has just release the 4.5 version of it's software that has the MMS capability. and sprint will begin allowing you to get the free software upgrade by the end of this month. So hang tight.

how muh are curves prepaid?

The phone is okay cause i just get mine today....

this is the best phone in history

Sprint has mms you just have to upgrade your phone with the cd that was provided with phone

I have the blackberry curve I love it I just dnt like that u can't send pix but I have found away..u go to the pix and click on send as email and type in this ur number # 1234567@pm.sprint.com but put ur number and it will send it back to u as picture mail and u fwd it its a lot of work but its easy and nothing is wrong with sprint it has little problems but all companies do and my brother has the instinct but now he wants the blackberry curve!

OMG thank you so much deja, I just tried doing that and it worked fantastically. Takes a long time to send to my phone however. But just a couple of seconds to forward it to someone else after.

OK there is only one draw back, if person your sending it to has email capabilities on their phone you just have to click on the link and click forward and your address book comes up and you just click on their name and phone #. If they dont have email on their phone then you have to click on the link yourself and pull up the picture then click forward and have to manually type in their phone #. Takes a lot longer but it works.

I like the blackberry phone! but is it true its so complicated..? how about when you use the direct connect service? I have a red palm centro and I don't know if I should switch to a blackberry? .. which one is better for a girl who is always texting, sending piks and emails

i love my curve its greatttttt! i love the texting on it and everything! the calls are clear and i like how the lcd light changes red when you have a text message that you haven't seen yet :).

p.s.-people that have money dont brag about it. I'm also thinking if your dad was the president of LG you would be a little more educated and maybe even have an LG phone. But thats just my view on things.

and also the president of LG is a women just though i'd throw that out there.

which phone is the best e71 or blackberry

im getting mine on friday(:
but i dont like the sprint colors.

the ball on the curve blackberry 833o frezzes alot :( and i have had it 10 days love it BUt the ball freezes all the time

wow i highly doubt that this guys dad is president of lg, but even if he was that doesnt mean he has to buy an lg phone, dang thats like saying since my dad is chairman of pepsi or something im gonna immediatly love pepsi, that doesnt mean anything lgs are awesome the vu is outstanding

wow, edge. too bad your father can't buy you a proper education. nice english.

ha lol ..iam crackin up with this stuff iam reading..
i got this blackberry phone and its the best out of all the phones that ive
had.!! its awesome.. i can always get on the web no matter what i have alot of badass features. and its the best ever.. !!!!

I love the blackberry curve now.. I've had it for a june and was totally pissed after I bought the phone and found out I couldn't send pic mail to my friends unless I had their email.. But now sprint has the mms program and all you have to do I'd upload it..since I've done that I love my phone now

I'm getting my first phone in november. I definitely want a BB but which one?

I want to update my phone to bb curve but I'm confused about the picture mail thing cuz ppl are saying the complete opposite bout it && can I keep my plan with unlimited messaging or do I have to update to the everything plan

LG is Korean? No wonder their phones are crap! LoL! I have sprint. I'm eligible for the upgrade soon and this is one of the phones I'm considering.

alright, i've read this whole thread trying to figure out if i should get the curve or not, and i still can't decide. everyone has conflicting opinions! does sprint have all the pic msg issues straightened out now? how about the trackball freezing all the time? does it make good calls? I love sprint, I've had it for a very long time now, but I don't want to waste my upgrade on something I'm not sure of. Help?

this phone is sweet i might be paying for internet and unlimited texting and im eight years old

Im Switching From a Rant TO A Curve Since YOu have to have a special email to send pictures to peoples phone
can you send it to you yahoo email account ?

i just orderd mine n am proud lol that blackberry rocks lol

does all blackberry has camera

Maryann, most blackberries have cameras. I know on the Sprint/Nextel network you can get the Curve without a camera (for work phones and such).

So we are for certain? Sprint has MMS? I am getting my Curve tomorrow.

hey my friend wants to trade me a black berry curve for us cellular for my lg tritan would u do it or not ??

edge sucks major........

I am using the blackberry sprint in the USA with a sim card slot. Hence i would want to go back to my Country Ghana.what must i do??? Can i use it in Ghana with the analog system?Although i enjoy the use of the phone features yet still i wanna continue using bcos it gives me total satisfactions when it comes to clearer calls,pictures,videos etc.

Hey edge you are dumb because you would have a lg phone if your dad is the 'PRESIDENT' THINK NEXT TIME!!! LOL!

i wannt one:(

i just purchased BB 8330 let me experience it, any tips you are welcome for free advise thanks

I am having this phone any advicee? is the phonee good? and does it have good memoryy?Xxx

he dude i was the b b phone like
and i by it some time

it dosent include wifi , this was a big problem wit me

get the hell of it.... Black Berry is just a phone where many people aspire to have it but in the end they dont have food in the table to serve!!!! lol....

This fone is a high class piece of shit. However blackberry is your ideal rich machine. All high buissness and wealthy people have this or the iphone. This is not because its just a good phone it is also because its the reputaion it gives across to people. EG: someone might say oh yes the've got a blackberry obviously there rich. WRONG , people might be paying for it monthly.
But the point i wanted to get accross was that it is not such a good phone that it comes across as it simply just has a classy reputation. If you are looking for a phone like this i guarantee this in the phone for you, however f you want a phone that you don't want to pay much for but want a good and useful phone i recommend you buy something that is suitable and a better price for what it is worth.
Thankyou for reading,
