We told you just earlier how Verizon Wireless has officially confirmed the BlackBerry Curve 8530 aka the BlackBerry Curve 2 for a November 20 launch. According to previous leaked information we already knew that the Curve 2 was en route to Verizon Wireless by the end of the year so it was basically just a matter of time until Big Red announced its arrival.
But if you’d fancy a Curve 2 without having to sign a new deal with Verizon we now have an alternative for you. Sprint has also hurried to confirm the device. While there are no arrival dates specified yet and we have no official prices, Sprint has neatly rolled out a webpage showing the purple version of the phone with Sprint’s logo on top. If you want to know more details about Sprint’s BlackBerry 9530 you can always sign up on the page to find out more. Chances are the Sprint wants to have the phone ready on or around November 20 in order to properly compete against its CDMA archenemy, Verizon Wireless.
The fact that Sprint will also launch the Curve 2 doesn’t surprise us at all. We’ve seen this before this summer when both carriers launched the BlackBerry Tour. In the end it doesn’t really matter who is launching a smartphone as long as the customers know exactly what to expect from their favorite carrier. In this case I am sure that loyal Sprint customers will not jump over to Verizon just because their Curve 2 comes a day, a week or a month earlier than Sprint’s Curve 2 version.
Both carriers will offer the same features and it’s probably safe to say that Sprint’s price will match Verizon’s current offer. So it seems that the best voice and data plans will win when it comes to signing a new customer that happens not to be already bound to Sprint or Verizon. What do you say folks? What carrier will chose to buy the Curve 2 from? Or are you too busy with the Droid for the moment to think about anything else?
