Sprint To Offer BlackBerry Curve 8330

Sprint has joined Verizon in announcing plans to carry the new CDMA version of the BlackBerry Curve.

Like the Verizon version of the device, Sprint's BlackBerry Curve -- also known as the BlackBerry 8330 -- will feature internal GPS, EV-DO high-speed Internet, and also adds support for Sprint's branded music store and streaming video services.

More About The Blackberry Curve

The Curve is marketed heavily to consumers and individual purchasers, a departure from RIM's traditionally business-oriented sales. As such, the company emphasizes the multimedia capabilities of the device, as well as its 2 megapixel digital camera, an uncommon feature for a Blackberry.

The Curve also features a thumb keyboard, QVGA display, and Bluetooth 2.0.

Pricing And Availability

The BlackBerry Curve 8330 will be available from Sprint some time in April, at a price of $180 after two-year contract and $100 mail-in rebate, or $450 with no contract.
