The specs say that the Curve is not Rev A upgradeable. Why would Verizon not allow it to be upgraded to Rev A?

Rev A limitation is not a Verizon issue, it is a BlackBerry constraint. Currently all BlackBerries, without regard to carrier are Rev 0. No relief in the near future for this limitation.

I had the curve and it was to small, went back to Verizon and they sold me the 8830. I need the Curve for the Camera, I am in the Mortgage Industry and sick of taking pictures with digital camera , downloading to blackberry and sending. Had 8830 less than 60 days, how do I convince Verizon cs to change out?
New User by the way and you guys are "The Bomb"

Of course it would take boring Verizon to bring it out in AT&T's old silver color. Yawn. Verizon is so old and tired.

WHAT!!! $219.00!!! Thank heavens I left Verizon to go to AT&T in December and got my GSM Curve that i can use anywhere in the world for $99.00!!!!!! Verizon is such a rip off!

I got mine online this morning for $119. Price was $269 minus $100. for advanced device credit and minus $50. for new every two.

$219 isn't a rip off. It is still priced under the MSRP. Besides, AT&T Sucks. I switched to AT&T for 1 month, it was horrible. Dropped calls, slow Edge connection... it's aweful. And their GSP/Telenav doesn't even work well 40% of the time.

Verizon is very fast. I get 1mbps to 2bmps tethering all the time with $15 a month additional. With AT&T, you get Edge (128kbps)...

Er yes, $219.00 is a rip off! I too paid $99.00 over at AT&T. I am sure that Verizon has not enabled GPS. They probably will make you pay for their gps service. I too switched from Verizon because their prices are so high. I am paying $50.00 a month less with AT&T, and I have better reception than I did with Verizon. I guess it's all where you live. Go over to AT&T now and get a kickin' Titanium or lucious red for just $99.00 that can be used worldwide. Or go over to Verizon and get a boring silver that was AT&Ts old color a year ago for $120.00 extra. Yeah!!!

Well I have mine- there isn't a $100 online discount today. All they are offering today is a $50 rebate.
