Bell nabs the BlackBerry Curve 8330, too

Far be it from Bell to sit back and let Telus have all the fun, the other Canadian CDMA juggernaut has gone ahead and added RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8330 to its roster as well. This one will run between $249.95 CAD and $549.95 CAD (ouch!) ranging from a three-year plan to an outright, free and clear purchase, offering a 2 megapixel cam, 96MB of onboard storage with a microSD slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, EV-DO, and GPS -- in other words, precisely everything you'll get from its Telus, Sprint, and Verizon cousins. Head down to the shop, do a little dance of joy, and revel in your little jump start here, Bell users, because your American friends have a few more weeks to wait on this one.

Can AT&T just buy Bell and make me happy with no roaming charges when I visit Canada?

Umm Bell Mobility is a CDMA carrier, AT&T is a GSM carrier, good luck roaming. You should be talking about Rogers, formerly known as Rogers AT&T, but the name was pretty much a marketing thing. I guess it didn't work out seeing as how marketing something American in Canada doesn't exactly buy you a whole lot of extra credibility.

Either way, I dont want to be charged for roaming

You don't want a Canadian data plan either...

I work for bell, and feel that all Canadian wireless companies like to "throw sand in it" when it comes to data.

BlackBerry Curve 8330 comes in a compact and user-friendly design with clean lines, soft edges and a liquid silver finish. Despite its small size, it features a highly tactile and ergonomic full-QWERTY keyboard.

Can anyone confirm if WiFi is enabled in the Bell Curve?
