BlackBerry Curve 8330, the latest from RIM's Curve series, will soon be available via Sprint, the third largest mobile operator in the US, after it was first announced
to come at Verizon (one of Sprint's direct competitors), currently the second largest carrier in Bugs Bunny's country.

Sprint's BlackBerry Curve 8330 comes in a slightly different color than the Verizon version, and instead of having silver as its main color, it's all dressed in a darker gray. Aside from that, the smartphone brings exclusive Sprint features, like: Sprint Navigation, which uses the handset's built-in GPS to offer users 3D moving maps, turn-by-turn and voice-guided directions, plus real-time smart traffic alerts and over 10 million local listings; Sprint TV, allowing you to watch videos and TV programs, including the hottest news and the latest weather forecasts; Sprint Music Store, for easily downloading high-quality songs.

Other features of BlackBerry Curve 8330: full QWERTY keyboard, trackball navigation system, 4 ounces (113 grams) and 4.2 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches (106.6 x 61 x 15.2 mm), 320 x 240 pixels display with light sensing technology for optimal view, desktop media manager, full Web browser, Media player, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, 2 Megapixel camera with video recording and flash, USB, microSD card support (up to 8GB) and a standard battery capable of providing about 260 minutes of talk-time and up to11 days of stand-by time.

Sprint will begin to offer BlackBerry Curve 8330 starting the second half of this month (April 2008), meaning the smartphone will come sooner than the Curve 8330 offered by Verizon, which should hit the market in May. Sprint's Curve will cost you $179.99, with a $100 mail-in rebate and a contract agreement for two years.
