Man that looks so much better than the Verizon silver version.
I wonder if they'll release it in the all, glossy black as the 8830? I love my 8830 but the 2.0 MP camera has me sold on the Curve. I miss being able to randomly snap a pic when I want to show someone a place I'm at or some crazy thing I happen to come across.

The 2.0 camera on the Pearl takes awesome pictures. I am looking forward to getting the Curve!

Ok this thread is dedicated to Pictures and Specs of the 8330 Curve for Sprint. Please post any information related to the title here :).
I have posted the fact sheet I have (hope it shows up readable) and the stock photos from Sprint.
Enjoy :)

Nice info from the fact sheet. Thanks Nino.
BTW I told everyone the curve was coming with a 1gb microSD card in the box. LOL

No Worldphone (GSM) capabilities? That is a shame ... leaves the 8830 and the (abysmal) Samsung Ace as the only ones. Sprint really needed either the Pearl or Curve to be Worldphones, means I must keep my Blackberry on T-Mobile for perhaps another year.
