Too bad I don't live in their service area. That's a good deal. Oh, well.

Ooh, Curve 9530, is it like Storm? Anyway, I think it'd be Curve 9350

Bold 9650????? Wow...
wowreally Nov 21, 2011 at 9:22 pm
yes us cellular is CDMA:
tour 9630
bold 9650
bold 9930
the major CDMA networks (vzw and sprint) were without bolds all whilst att and t-mobile had the 9000, 9700 9780 etc...
CDMA's never see and as far as i can tell will never see a "sliding style" torch.

I understand that, but $99 for a 9650 is ridiculous. That phone should be free considering it's age and performance.

The press release is a bit confusing, but the prices are actually good for any customer, not just new customers. I bought a Curve 9350 two weeks ago ($49.99 after MIR) and called in to customer service tonight and got a price adjustment on it ($50 credit will be applied to our next bill).

Yeah, and after speaking with our rep today no details on the 9930 hitting (yet). Rep confirmed for me the Touch/9650 a month before they officially announced it, so if they are getting the 9930, well under wraps or more than a month.
