I have the BB Curve and I so ready for a new phone. I hate the fact that Sprint is the last to get the new Blackberrys. I love having Sprint and have been with them for years, but they bring nothing to the BB game. The 8850 may be a glimmer of hope, but I would prefer the Storm.

I was told by Sprint rep recently that the Storm would be available by November…. all I know is I have been waiting to replace my Pearl 8130 with Sprint, but holding out for touchscreen. But if it doesn’t happen by year end.. I’m going with Palm Pre… I can’t stand Verizon, 6 years with them for nothing!!!!!!!!

I’m on the verge of getting my first bb. Can’t decide whether to just get the 8830 or 8350i, or wait for the “supposed” release of a new Sprint BB. Any thoughts? Is this new BB coming out soon or not?

At this point, clearly Sprint is parting ways with Blackberry. When it goes this long, and all the attention is poised on the Palm Pre, Spring is just signaling everyone to move on to AT&T for the latest blackberry gear.

Move on.

I spoke with a rep. at a Sprint store and I was informed that there will be a lot of new releases for the Fall 2009 quarter and the Bold is possibly one of them. I can not wait for that release, I have a Curve and I absolutely hate it.

Curve 8300 just went from $100 to $50 on sprintpcs.com today… maybe to make room for a new inventory??

I spoke with a representative at Sprint who confirmed that they will be getting the Bold but no other new Blackberry devices. He said that they have now completed the vendor training for the Bold and will be rolling it out either this Summer or Holiday season.

I heard that the new devic may be comparable or better than the Bold… It’s suppose to be out in the 3rd quarter but its still a lil early to kno whats what…

Sprint needs to get with the times with the phones they got a 4g network and there service i never had a problem with the curve is starting to be outdated i don’t like the new BBs so i still have my 8703e and it works fine but i do want some sort of nicer blackberry like a touchscreen(yes i know the storm is a verizon exclusive) or the bold… how about an exclusive blackberry phone for sprint?

Sprint customers suffering from a little BlackBerry envy after Verizon Wireless landed the BlackBerry Storm and AT&T scored the BlackBerry Bold may finally get their break.
According to Engadget Mobile, Sprint will replace its BlackBerry 8830 World Edition with the BlackBerry Bold some time this quarter. While running on Sprint’s CDMA network, the smartphone is said to have dual-mode functionality, so it’ll work on international GSM networks to give you world-roaming capabilities.
Other reported additions include a slightly updated design, more memory, and EV-DO Rev. A support.
The Boy Genius Report also chimed in with a few more details on the Sprint Bold, which it calls the BlackBerry Niagara: a full QWERTY keyboard, 480×360 nontouch display, assisted GPS, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. As expected, there’s no official confirmation from the carrier or RIM, but as always, we’ll let you know as soon as we have any information.

A few points:
• There is no new blackberry coming out for Sprint in 2009.
• The curve is NOT discontiuned, however it is currently unavailable to order (possibly for bug fixes)

I own a few Indirect Sprint stores, and work closely with the government rep for Michigan, and he told me there is no plans for a new blackberry this year. The Curve is the most popular handset that Sprint offers, and is sold in large numbers to public and private sectors.

…..although I wish I was wrong

just spoke to a sprint rep online and i asked if any new bb were coming out soon? she said to stay tuned to the site bc there will be new bb to the lineup. then, i asked if there would be any new bb by april? she said to check back april 1st although there is no set date. i’m thinking they might start advertising soon..
