I think Verizon should focus more on getting the Curve. These POS windows mobile devices just aren't going to cut it in a BB world. Vzw is going to start losing customers if they dont get on the ball and start getting BB's at the same time they are released on TMo or ATT.
Well Ben, that just goes to show what you know. BBConnect on a Windows Mobile device provides the ability to use a Windows Mobile device with a BES. Does BB even make a phone with EVDO in it? I don't think so, and since Windows Mobile devices have so much more functionality, why use a BB or even prefer a BB over Windows? The BB OS is horrible, and the devices are finally coming out with camera's, wifi, and media players which we have had on Windows Mobile devices for years...
BB 8830 and 8130 both have EVDO. Saying the OS is horrible is really a meaningless comment. But if you were to say the Blackberry OS is more stable than Windows you would be correct. It may be more liited but for the majority of users it probably does more than what they need.
I agree VZWS needs the curve, but the 8830 is pretty solid also. They just need to uncripple the GPS on Blackberry maps.

You have no clue what the demand is right now. Ever since this phone was launched my store can't keep them in stock.
