Verizon now offers the Curve

News icon

Published on: 06 May, 2008 by Nanko Rusev

Although there was no exact date until now, it was known that Verizon Wireless will offer the CDMA BlackBerry Curve this month. Now available online, it costs $219.99 after a two-year contract discount, but after the $50 mail-in rebate it can be as low as $170. If you are looking for a 'Berry and like the design language and dimensions of the Curve and the camera is a must, there are not many alternatives.

I gotta agree with #1 & 3...and also the reason Verizon is just getting the Curve now is because
unlike other carriers, they actually test the hell out of the phones before releasing them, thus
reducing complaints from customers due to defects. Verizon may nickel n dime but they spent
billions and billions of dollars in the past 5 years updating and improving the network, AT&T spent
a billion just changing their name from Cingular. Hmmm I wonder what's more important to consumers
the name of the company or the network the provides the best service for their wireless needs?
Let's face it, AT&T may have the most customers and was the best at one point, but Verizon has been
the most solid carrier thus far and will continue to be the best!

I don't think the curve is all that expensive considering that it has 3G and has video recording
capabilities. Plus the phone at verizon is $169.99 after all rebates. Just ordered mine today and
can't wait to get it!

I used the curve on at&t and didn't have any complaints on the network other than it was only EDGE
and their curve doesn't have 3G speeds, or video recording.
